🚲 🚴‍♂️🚵 Ride on Nate.

Tokyo Adagio by Charlie Haden & Gonzalo Rubalcaba (2015) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0060254744627 Example: Another nice set - recorded at the Blue Note but for Impulse. And very well recorded. Just a touch too much dinner table noises in the background now and then. I am over here trying to listen and you are elbows deep on some chicken parm. come on!

^^ added to my seemingly endless queue. 🙄 And just a quick note on Eddy Grant - personal mental block of not really liking Electric Avenue from my past. But since your post, I did poke around 'File Under Rock' (1988), you know, 'I'm still trying to like this' type of thing, and I have to say, I think I do. Me: FATHERS by Nate Smith • Kiefer • Carrtoons • Kenny Beats (2026) https://open.qobuz.com/album/hr9lqhajxzltq Example: Pretty much an 8 track jam session. Cool vibes for 30 minutes. On Blue Note.

^^ interesting. I like the tune. I have the new album in my queue, but have not touched it yet. -- So, I listened to 'petal', and it was coming off strange on my headphones. Like it was over driven, sounding like woofer buzz. I have had this before by actually overdriving speakers. So I checked out the first track 'kiss me' and it had some of the same qualities. I double checked by pushing these through my emotivas a bit and yep it sounds like they made a choice. Engineered by Lou Carrao with Max Martin all over the place on the album. Maybe they think it is a 'raw' sound, but it just sounds muddy to me. Regardless I do like the song itself, self actualizing and pissed. It has not turned me off of the album, I will probably listen and report in the other thread. thanks Dusty.

More WING breakdown.

I still like the album, but not as much as I liked all the clips and live tunes I heard. Granted none of those had the singing. They are not singers, and I don't think they are really trying to be. I am a music first person when I listen, I still don't know what most Yes songs are about. So for Who Asked?, I just treat it as another instrument. The drumming is actually a style I like, others out there are copying it now as well. I also recently found out that JD Beck was a grad of School of Rock, which I thought was funny. And I agree don't "Try to Like" it. Hard pass is always the option.

Ha, I just came out here to post this ... ^^ funny that they use Pat as the screen cap (second song) - but better than Trevor Horn I guess. :} We all get old together.

Cheers Todd - Happy Birthday (and good job planning it for a Friday)

^^ right behind you... New DOMi & JD and a new Fall of Civilizations Podcast - going to be a good Friday.
