Whats playing on your system today?
| Post removed |
I heard something on Radio Paradise yesterday that blew my mind. Had to go to the record store and pick it up today. Just home and played it and LOVE IT! The Beatles - Yellow Submarine - 1999 REMIX - Songtrack LP. The remixed long version of "It's All Too Much" is absolutely killer, IMHO. I know it might be blasphemy for true Beatles aficionados, but I really like this remixed compilation LP. The sound quality is outstanding and it sounds almost contemporary verses the originals. I'm diggin' it. And you say? |
slaw, You're on a roll. Keep it up..... I like your Bruce Cockburn pick. Check this out: I've got tickets to see Bruce Cockburn in June at The Fur Peace Ranch. If you've never heard of it, check it out on line. Interesting place for music lovers, to say the least. The concert hall seats 200 people. Up close and personal. Just the way I like it..... |
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.... |
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!! |
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!! |
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! |
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 |
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 |
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! |
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. |
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. |
Anyone who appreciates progressive rock should enjoy this!😎 Haken - "Aquarius" https://youtu.be/gKkycq9Suok Listen with headphones if possible |
