Not sure it is dangerous enough for Colin, but maybe if you also have a 12-15% grade it could get interesting.

(Who's Afraid Of) The Art Of Noise? by Art Of Noise (1984) https://album.link/i/1364593455 Example: So my friend sent me an DM this morning asking what was my favorite Art of Noise song was, with hers being the Example. So I had to think about it, and I just had to ask myself, (Who's Afraid Of) The Art Of Noise?, and listen to the album again. While Beat Box (Diversion 1) is very very good, there are two things I like a little bit more from this album, the classic - Close (To The Edit), and the just lovely - Moments in Love. But when I thought of a fav, it was not from this album, it was on the In Visible Silence (1986) album. Which I have posted here several times before. When I thought of Art of Noise, this tune was first in line. A lot of my musical influences are packed into this 4:30 minute song from my teen years.

Live at Max's Kansas City by The Velvet Underground (1972) https://album.link/i/1070716468 Example: Good recording? no.. It was after all recorded on a cassette. But a great snapshot in time..

Demon Days by Gorillaz (2005) https://album.link/i/850571319 Example: Just chilln

I still listen to Hearts turned up pretty loud. Me: Wood II Brian Bromberg (2006) https://album.link/i/339937931 Example: Good for testing and listening...

Just a bit of fun.

Happy birthday Peter. cheers

Jump Up Calypso by Harry Belafonte (1961) https://album.link/i/1087856305 Example: Did I recently watch Beetlejuice?... may be... But regardless, a really good and fun album. It has Jump in the Line, but his voice on Kingston Market is so good.

Scriabin: Le Poème de l'extase, Piano Concerto, Prometheus by Vladimir Ashkenazy / Maazel (1971) https://album.link/i/1452378193 Example: I really pulled this for the Ashkenazy Concerto work. But was captivated by the Maazel, Le Poème de l'extase piece. I thought that this was a Decca release, and then discovered it was. But also London. There is a whole history there that I will let you research.

The Bygones by The Bygones (2024) https://album.link/i/1727354327 Example: New to me - discovered off an IG reel. An interesting mix of Elliot Smith, folk and jazz. Overall good production.

Lexington by Wayne Kramer (2012) https://album.link/i/858362515 Example: The harder side of jazz Friday.

oopsie... Happy birthday Peter. cheers

Okay, so I finished all 112 videos that Jenny Nicholson has posted on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/@JennyNicholson/videos One of my favs is the Dear Even Hansen breakdown that is almost as long as the movie. So I guess now that I am hooked I will be heading off to Patreon for more... (with 54,180 other people)...

Coming off HSB watching. Väsen & Hawktail by Väsen (2024) https://album.link/i/1755246244 Example: I like. I am a Britney Haas fan on the fiddle. But really well recorded. Didn't know Väsen before this. Oh wait - I did... Anyway the blending with Hawktail is really good.

Catching up on this mornings madness. https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-5 One of the most insane things I have seen. The catch seemed like magic. Some smart people doing hard things.

Y'all come..

Catching up on what I missed last weekend. Hardly Strictly Bluegrass ... TV https://hardlystrictlybluegrass.vhx.tv/ Free to watch - I am watching Banjo Stage for Sunday - Specifically - Aoife O'Donovan & Hawktail I need to check out the Towers of Gold Stage that featured - DakhaBrakha But I will probably let thing just run a bit. https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/schedule Glad you could make out there @Grahame

8AM pst start. Continuing to test the grill with butts. This time, putting a 9lb bone in butt on the grilla.

Dreams by Gabor Szabo (1968) https://album.link/i/1644420785 Example: I have heard some of these works, but never the album. It is a great piece of work. Very enjoyable listen from a master. I preferred the 16 bit remaster vs the high bit rate version that I could get on Qobuz.

Yesterwynde by Nightwish (2024) https://album.link/i/1742167163 Example: Second listen through of the new Nightwish album this week. Always impressed with Floor Jansen's singing, but I also was drawn in to the writing of this album a lot. It includes the entire orchestral version of the album as well.

and.. Harlequin by Lady Gaga (2024) https://album.link/i/1770129269 Example: From The Fame Monster to Jolene to Harlequin, I am here for the many personas of Gaga..

Oooo... exposure 2010s

Bloody Tourists by 10cc (1978) https://album.link/i/1444101162 Example: 10cc on my head these days - so it is about time.... I don't like cricket (Oh no!) I love it!!
