  1. A thinly sliced Skillet potato bake. I just have to wait for it to cool down for a bit before diving in.
  2. Cal Tjader Plays, Mary Stallings Sings by Cal Tjader (1961) https://album.link/i/1444024038 Example: Holy Poop. I am not sure why I didn't know that this existed. I get inputs from all over the place, and I just keep adding them to my queue. I work my way through, best as I can, listening. About 1 in 10 are worthy of a post. This is one of the 1 in 10.
  3. 2.3lbs of bœuf.. and a red...
  4. A little catch-up. I listened to this last Friday at the whisky gathering. And again right now. Live At The BBC by Marianne Faithfull https://album.link/i/1444089414 Example: Just lovely.. RIP
  5. Cheers Jeff - Happy Birthday -
  6. For some reason I have been really enjoying Dodie tunes. I have not been listening to albums or going down a rabbit hole. They started to show up in my YouTube Feed since the new year, and I just click on them once and a while. And I enjoy them every time. The deceptively simple tunes that get layered with harmonies and ornamentation. Then there are tunes like Hot Mess and Monster that hit harder.
  7. ^ I listened to it three times since it was released, and I really like it. Maybe the album cover 'put a spell on me', but enjoyable.
  8. Sweet Rain by Stan Getz (1967) Only Apple for Link - so here is Qobuz Example: Very Pretty Album.
  9. Get Up With It by Miles Davis (1974) https://album.link/i/157447301 Example: Now this is an album that I really had to pay attention to. 8 tracks, 2+ hours. But I got a lot out of it for putting in the time. Gone are the days of Bitches Brew, and we are not yet to Big Fun. Like a lot of his work, he was doing something different.
  10. Cheers fellow Mike - Happy Birthday -
  11. Distraction Rock 'n' Roll Animal (Live) by Lou Reed (1974) https://album.link/i/976827224 Example: I had a much different idea of Lou Reed from other works (mainly the Transformer album), but this was a killer set.
  12. Cheers Adam - Happy Birthdays -
  13. Based on This^ This v Secret Love Letters by Lisa Batiashvili (2022) https://album.link/i/1627513869 Example: It is a little tough when you don't know the works, and further more not even familiar with the composers (Frank, Szymanowski, Chausson). But --- captivating? yup. Well recorded? yup (it is DG) And makes me want to see her perform at some point.
  14. Caribou by Elton John (1974) https://album.link/i/1440912739 Example: I have to say I am a little mixed. Some top tier songs on this album, mixed with some that did nothing for me. May be could have not been a double album? Just saying. But I will accept it for the highs. Eldorado by Electric Light Orchestra (1974) https://album.link/i/1054523537 Example: ^^ one of the better non-Beatles Beatles songs.. Jeff Lynn and the team doing what they do...
  15. for reasons Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Soundtrack (1992) https://album.link/i/46734067 Example: I was not up for watching this movie, but I was up for the amazing soundtrack by Badalamenti.
  16. Even In The Quietest Moments... by Supertramp (1977) https://album.link/i/1440868388 Example: Based on listening above, I just kept on listening to Supertramp... As I should...
  17. Sad - I was getting ready to watch Mulholland Drive soon, I guess it will be sooner.. RIP David.
  18. But this was the Album Cover that I grew up with. Worlds Apart by Saga (1981) https://album.link/i/1457350358 Example: Don't listen to it for 20 years, then sing along with every lyric. Yup it is an album that is ingrained.
  19. Happy Curry Birthday.. From Gemini: And ChatGPT Cheers --
  20. Beethoven: Violin Concerto in D Minor, Op. 61 - Tsintsadze: Miniatures by Lisa Batiashvili (2008) https://album.link/i/380160164 Example: So my friend in LA went and saw Lisa perform the Violin Concerto the other night and he thought it was wonderful. I took a look and saw that she recorded it back in 2008, one of her first recordings. While that was 17 years ago, it was still very good. I am sure hearing her live today would be even better.
  21. Crime Of The Century [2014 - HD Remaster] by Supertramp (1974) https://album.link/i/1440646658 Example: I always think of Supertramp from 79 into the 80s, not 1974. Even this does not feel like 74 to me. Just a high quality album from the tramp.
  22. ^^ I happen to like them both, but DOMi is definitely really good. Red (Expanded & Remastered Original Album Mix) by King Crimson (1974) https://album.link/i/918614446 Example: More Jazz than I remember, but it has been a while since I put this on. Very good, and doing things different as always. Like this 12.5 minute track.

    hmmm ^ that link is this v link for me. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/28/movies/jerry-lewis-day-the-clown-cried.html
  24. Fire by Ohio Players (1974) https://album.link/i/1434907387 Example: The title track is the star of the show, but once I found 'What the Hell' (track 7), I was entranced. Not just by the album cover. And yup it was a gatefold.
