Hey @milpai - found that Human Remains on the Spot. Pretty fussy about the country I listen to but his songs are strong. Guy is kinda John Prine & Kris Kristofferson with a little Randy Newman thrown in. Can’t be a bad thing. Do I hear Lucinda Williams doing harmony vocals? Pretty sure I do. Another good thing. Interesting guy as per the bio in Wikipedia... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Allen_(artist) |
I’m listening to Radio Paradise (again!) tonight. Honestly, if broadcast radio was this good, I’d have to get a tuner again. Do you guys listen to RP internet radio? It’s friggin’ awesome IMHO. I have my little Raspberry Pi music streamer/renderer playing it at low volume 24X7 in my basement listing room. I’ll drop in at 7am, lunch, after work and late at night just to hear what they are playing. I absolutely love their eclectic mix. BTW, playing right now of RP - THE classic screamin’ guitar jam - "Big Country". |
Hey arcam88 - A big AMEN to that! (tried to @ ya but it wasn't working). @reubent - Don't know Radio Paradise but certainly interested in checking it out. The Aries Mini provides access to internet radio. It's unexplored territory for me. Have to say I do miss the great FM stations from when I lived on the east coast. Does RP have DJ's...i.e. radio personalities with some reasonably intelligent commentary? Either way, thanks for the recommendation |
The Doors " When the Music's Over" Another icon song of rock music! TURN OUT THE LIGHTS😎 https://youtu.be/YkKRU1ajKFA |
@ghosthouse - Radio Paradise doesn't really have on-air personalities or much commentary. It does have the owners - Bill and Rebecca Goldsmith, who personally curate the music and provide a bit of commentary.Bill was a radio DJ for many years, and a radio station manager. He has a great voice for radio and a very soothing delivery. What it does offer is an eclectic mix of rock, folk, singer/songwriter, alt-country, Americana, pop, jazz and classical music. They do an excellent job of transitioning from one song, to the next. Sometimes the music flows for hours on end. I too miss the great radio stations of the past. Radio Paradise fills the void. And then some...... |
Anyone who appreciates progressive rock should enjoy this!😎 Haken - "Aquarius" https://youtu.be/gKkycq9Suok Listen with headphones if possible |
Mahler 7th symphony, Barenboim cond. Great performance. Gives it much more coherence than other versions I've heard. Also Bruno Walter cond. Bruckner 9th. very mellow. For a bonus, a mix I made of adagios from Beethoven string quartets. God bless the great composers and performers. And thanks to the folks who make the systems we listen to. |
The Ides of March "Vehicle". I cannot recommend this lp highly enough! If you like Chicago or Blood Sweat & Tears, and on one song, "Factory Band" there's even a John Fogerty vibe..... you need to search this one out. Jim Peterik has one of the great rock voices! A great cover of "Wooden Ships" as well. It would make a great record show find. Actually, that's where I found my copy over 20 years ago. |
so far today: Wishbone Ash "Live Dates/Vol II" Hole "Live Through This" The Ides of March "Vehicle" Iron Butterfly "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" Dixie Chicks "Home" Lucinda Williams "The Ghosts of Highway 20" Ryan Adams "Ashes and Fire" just to remark on three others, that stood out: "Home"... I wanted to choose just one song from this lp that I could post on "Tune of the Day" and decided that they all were just too good to choose (one). The SQ is awesome. Songwriting is superb! Get it/listen to it! "The Ghosts of Highway 20"... I've listened to this one about 5 times now. Not sure of the exact timeline... her father passed away between this lp and her last. Lucinda takes us through that process and comes out for the better. I cannot think of any other American artist who paints such a personal picture through her song better than Lucinda. Continues to just get better! "Ashes & Fire"... This is the lp I would imagine Ryan would give us after his divorce. Such a beautiful, soulful record. The sonics are superb albeit, it seems to be recorded too hot for such an introspective outing. What a record! I'm having a ball! |
slaw, Never really listened to Sting outside of The Police. I did try on Lindsey Buckingham but he didn't do it for me. He's very talented though. I’ll check Sting and get back. Alvin Lee, "Outside My Window" https://youtu.be/XGEyya0z3HQ N |
Hey Nutty, Have you heard Trixie Whitley with the band Black Dub? Black Dub is an excellent album IMHO. So, I'll see you your Trixie Whitley and raise you a Holly Smith......... Holly Smith "Philosophy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbCczzHiN68&list=PL44792563C1049E8C |
Hey Slaw, "What a Killer!!!!!" "Cortez the Killer" is one of my all time favorite songs, PERIOD! The Built to Spill version is indeed excellente’. Last Friday night one of my neighbors was playing in the bar at my local hockey club. Half way through the set he ripped off a righteous version of the song. I had already had a few beers. It was outstanding....... But I still prefer Neil Young’s version on Live Rust. I just think Neil’s voice adds something to the feel of the song. Happy Weekend to All. Enjoy! |
Here's one that's, sadly not on vinyl... Fountains Of Wayne Welcome Interstate Managers". Remember "Stacy's Mom"? This band has it all! Skillful pop, top 40, to rock and heavier rock.. They are supremely skillful at their songwriting craft and adding to that, the perfect amount of what ever else is needed to make an extremely enjoyable listening experience. I just listened to "Utopia Parkway" on vinyl. Highly recommended!! |
I guess, I'm un-officially the "weekend man"... A role I'll gladly accept! For some reason, I felt the need to play some Pat Travers Band. Unfortunately, I've misfiled the lp I wanted to listen to.. "Crash & Burn". Hopefully I'll locate it. Meanwhile, I'll listen to Lenny Kravitz "Let Love Rule". BTW, I found this amazing lp at a church book sale for a buck. Hallaluiah!! |
Ok, I'm going to look at this going forward as a "mix tape" I'd happily provide for anyone here......maybe a DJ inspired set???? My intent is it to have a flow.... (1) Death Cab For Cutie "You Can Do Better Than Me" "Grapevine" "Your New Twin Sized Bed" "Long" (2) Grace Potter& The Nocturnals "Oasis" (3) Arctic Monkeys "Do I Wanna Know" this is the 1st installment... better things to come.... |
