Happy birthday Andrew.. Cheers

And then this just showed up.. - yay

It happened around the same time as Jimmy - so I think it just got lost. Anyway. hortelã MARO 2023 https://album.link/i/1680000799 Example: Very well mastered by Alan Silverman. I appreciated this sonically even if I don't understand the words.

Cheers John - Happy Birthday's -

I missed this last week.. RIP Gary (Sept 4th) The Dream Weaver Gary Wright 1975 https://album.link/i/321974937 Example: Go listen to Dream Weaver as well. Such a good album of tunes of their time. RIP Gary - Dream Weaving in the sky...

Heartbeat City (2016 Remaster) The Cars 1984 https://album.link/i/1088528654 Example: So I think in the 80s I was really listening to this album, but I was staring at the Candy-O Album Cover (so that stuck in my head). I really liked almost all of these songs. Even found myself singing along to Drive.

You're the One Rhiannon Giddens 2023 https://album.link/i/1683236541 Example: Continually impressed with Rhiannon. Her ability to adapt to different styles and to do them all so well is amazing to me. This is an album full of solid songs. Each one has purpose and grounding. They were not just going into the studio and see what happens. It is choreographed and executed at a high level.

Dang that second drop was close.

um... Nothing to see here. move along...

RIP Jimmy. Sorry to hear Brent... {hugs}

Ha - my assessment remains the same.

Sextet Carla Bley 1987 https://album.link/i/1443515986 Example: I really did think that I posted this before. But I couldn't find it. But it is something that should be posted. I didn't know much about Carla's work before this. A great set and this track is just so pretty.

RIP Sophie... condolences Shelly...

For Dusty Very fun

Happy Birthday Jimmy - Cheers!

Pathways Ezra Glatt 2023 https://album.link/i/1676302508 Example: Good freshman effort from Ezra. It has an Elliott Smith feel. I will be interested in seeing if their writing continues to grow.

Now we are talking about a full head-case machine

^^ intersting - sampled a few tracks, didn't catch me to start with, but intrested to check it out futher. Catching up.. Comin' Home Baby Mel Tormé 1962 https://album.link/i/59401055 Example: A fun Album by Mel, with the example being a highlight. Need to have some more Mel in my world. Samara Joy Samara Joy 2021 https://album.link/i/1616970429 Example: Such a lovely voice with dynamics and power. Very well recorded set of mostly standards. Meteora 20th Anniversary Edition Linkin Park 2023 https://album.link/i/1668484895 Example: Worthy of revisiting. A well recorded album that is layered really well and is able to hit hard when it wants to. I didn't need all the live versions, but I enjoyed listening to the album again. There are a few other things, but those are some highlights.

It can be based on history...

säje säje 2023 https://album.link/i/1698400328 Example: I didn't know I needed this this morning. But I so did. I might be back on a jazz vocal kick..

The 7” Singles Paul McCartney 2022 https://album.link/i/1653180402 Example: So, I have been involved in some larger music listening projects. This being one of them. It is an interesting journey (with 10+ hours of listening), starting with the above track, but I have to realize that he had 10 years of writing before this. And it is interesting to hear the B sides, a lot of them were more experamental. But the highs of this run are very high.

Touch Yello (Deluxe) Yello 2009 https://album.link/i/1443789417 Example: It is more like a soundtrack to a David Lynch film. But I am here for it.

all day

Not to steal any G's thunder.. Curry! About 7 quarts of it. What is it? 'Kinda curry.' It is kind of like tikka, but also coconut, and aloo.. So, it is just Saturday chicken curry. It needs to cook for a bit and then I will adjust the final spice levels. oh yeah, it is kinda like butter chicken too.
