Aliens Ate My Buick by Thomas Dolby (1988) https://album.link/i/1437333011 Example: Say what you want about 80's music, but it gave us this album and this 8.5 min chunk of jazz. Actually - "The Key to Her Ferrari" is a better jazz song, but I just like Budapest better.

Looks pretty good - now STFU -
I am sure Grahame had to learn all these during his naturalization process. But a lot were new to me. Look at me, learnin' things...

Featherweight by Rosie Frater-Taylor (2024) https://album.link/i/1704196390 Example: Some fresh music from last month from a new Artist for me. I really like the heavily influenced Jazz playing and the overall writing. And I forgive the 'no scrubs' cover.

I don't have Grahame's 'this is head-case' meme... But this is HC! I don't think that you would regret getting the S with it's additional features. It really does seem to be setup for getting the best of a pour over. I cannot advise too much. I use this for my espresso... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L92G6CF .. I'll see myself out...

A Charlie Brown Christmas (Remastered & Expanded Edition) by Vince Guaraldi (1965) https://album.link/i/1440948781 So I have pretty much figured out that I don't equate Christmas music to Christmas - but to winter weather. And listening to Vince makes me happy...

Choir of the Mind by Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton (2017) https://album.link/i/1254594996 Example: Just so good to listen to. I have not done a deep dive into what is said, but initial impressions are rewarding.

Kind of the reason we need artists - they think differently...

All The Young Dudes by Mott The Hoople (1972) https://album.link/i/155712973 Example: Mott and the Young Dudes.. I really enjoyed this album.. I liked the 70s groove rock that they were putting out there. Yet this was another band like Thin Lizzy that I knew by name, not by songs. I have many songs attached to them now, and I am happy about that.

Adrenaline Rush by Twista (1997) https://album.link/i/79029480 Example: Sometimes you just need some fast 90s rap.. Twista delivers.

^^ Thanks... Although it got me thinking of a music survey. 🤓 My standards for this piece have been: Berliner Philharmoniker / Herbert von Karajan Boston Symphony / Munch The London Symphony Orchestra / Josef Krips Chicago Symphony / Sir Georg Solti Orchestra Of St. Luke's / Michael Tilson Thomas Pretty much the same list for the 7th Symphony as well (probably my fav just ahead of the 3rd). But that could change. I have not listened to the Szell.. yet. I think that the internet catalog is too big for me to do a complete survey of the Eroica, But maybe a review of top recordings in context to the Szell. I will ponder. meanwhile: The Cool Voice of Rita Reys by Rita Reys (1957) https://album.link/i/988177115 Example: and Relax With Rita & Pim by Rita Reys (1969) https://album.link/i/1442252027 Example: Some lovely recordings.

Read many of his reviews back in the day - I use to get Audio and Stereophile. RIP
