Whats on your turntable tonight?

Last night during our otherwise serious listening sesson we stopped to play old material by Bob And Ray.

All of these make me laugh out loud,

Two Faces West
Komodo Dragon
Slow Talkers Of America
Just Plain Fancy Dan
Spelling Bee

I think I'll bring out my old Bob Newhart Button Down Mind album and Bill Cosby albums after seeing these recent posts.

Gee, whadya think God talking to Noah sounds like over a good hi-fi?

I myself am partial to Nichols & May, and Derek & Clive (for the uninitiated, Dudley Moore and Peter Cook, being very naughty indeed).

The Judds first release: "The Judds", a mini LP from 1984. The band is superb, the gals wonderful (ymmv). The sonics superb +. I'm taken by the guitar sounds on this and their first 3 albums, some really outstanding arrangements and musicianship. Very well recorded.

Girls - Father, Son and Holy Ghost - average pressing on white and black vinyl; band from SF bay area. Impossible to describe - every song transcends the next. Best LP of music of the year so far. Don't shy away from the pressing, it won't get better than this for bands in 2011.

Lamb - Lamb - Debut record on Fontana by trip hop drum and bass duo from England. Great if you can find the vinyl -hard as heck to find from 1996.

Dead Can Dance - Spiritchaser - Mofi reissue. Great pressing, great recording, great music.
