What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

Loomis - Agreed. I wasn't attempting to put Freedy in the same music category as Bill Lloyd. BUT Lloyd's "Back to Even" did bring Freedy to mind for me. There's something about his chords and lyric style (some wry and self-deprecating humor there) that reminded me of FJ.

Hope you like Smash Palace. Wasn't that taken on first listen but hours and days later I'd have one of their tunes on auto-play in my head...and I don't mean in a bad ear-worm way. So gave 'em some additional time. A pretty strong collection, I think.

I do enjoy Bill Lloyd on so many levels. Amazing songwriting, incredible and innovative playing, and just flat out fun to listen to. I was working in a music store back in 1990 or 1991 and heard Feeling the Elephant and was hooked immediately. The records just keep getting better. Check out his website. There's allot to look into there.

The Boats - Sleepy Insect Music (tipped off on this one by my friend GH - big thank you there)

The Postal Service - Give Up (10th anniversary reissue) My long time friend Rico lead me there. Took me some time to come around, but thanks nevertheless. Also see Death Cab for Cutie and Dntel, both with ties to this band.

ghosthouse, i gave smash palace a few spins--i wanted to dig 'em more but they didn't quite grab me. they seem to be betwixt 80s new wave and power pop without the sonic sheen of the former or the melodic hooks of the latter. i do appreciate the rec, as well as your other picks--keep 'em coming.

my current rave is hiss golden messenger, "bad debt"--just a guy and a guitar, with great (no kidding) spiritual-themed tunes that sound somewhere between nick drake and elliott smith. really haunting stuff. his later, fleshed-out discs with a band aren't nearly as good.

final pick is tresspassers william, "cast", a near-perfect mazzy star knockoff with vg femme vox and songs. good late night music.
