Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.
I listened to Trower songs: Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma". I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but I don't own "Blood and Chocolate" on vinyl or CD. I've only hear it a couple of times over the years, so I'm streaming it via Spotify right now. Obviously I'm not super familiar with it, so it's tough to rate it or put it in my hierarchy of EC albums. However, based on tonight's listen. it's not going to replace any of my top 3 favorite Elvis Costello albums. There are a couple of very good songs, like "I Want You" and "Battered Old Bird". But overall, for me it doesn't hold my interest, start to finish, like "All This Useless Beauty", "King of America" or "Spike". Maybe with a few more listens...........
The Elvis (Costello) section of my record collection is one of the most densely populated. I hope there's no Coronavirus there! Blood and Chocolate is one of my favorites. I Want You is one of my favorite songs ever.
Couldn’t resist Kevin ;-) . By the way, after you've become acclimated to the Spatials, give Danny Richie at GR Research a call. He's very familiar with them, and has done some measuring and x/o evaluation, etc. He might have some info on them you would find of interest.
Wondered if there might be a recording of the music played on the Titanic, apropos of our current situation. Lo and behold, I found a beautiful recording of the faithfully executed set list by the White Star Orchestra on CD from the early 90s. Feeling fatalistic? It's well worth a listen.
Boxer: Can’t help you too much, only heard the 30 second snippets of Mary Weaver in Amazon. But it didn’t do much for me. Nice Dreams is so chill and lo-fi, more my style. Charlotte Gainsbourg - IRM Crescent - Resin Pockets
I have really tried to like this as it’s my sixth time playing it. I don’t like this, it is too mellow which I understand because Daltry doesn’t have the vocal range any longer. This should have been something under Pete and Rogers name, not The Who as it doesn’t even remotely sound like The Who.
Today, March 26th is my son’s birthday. Happy birthday to him. I’m enjoying the new Lindsey Webster, and the new Kandace Springs. Both hi-res downloads from HDTracks! Amazing
