MoonDial by Pat Metheny (2024) https://album.link/i/1733722355 Example: Enjoyed the new release from Pat. Playing with his new guitar. Mellow, but a good listen, well recorded.

How Does That Grab You? by Nancy Sinatra (1966) https://album.link/i/148036928 Example: There are other great tracks on this album, but this one is just so good. Most that just know it from Kill Bill probably don't realize that it is from 1966 (when Quentin was 3). There is a new version of the album this year. But it went to the pure, old standard of hard left and hard right stereo, which works okay in some systems, but not headphones for this dude. Most of the time I will take mono or blended for headphones. Good album..

Happy Birthday --- Cheers..

Last of the mainstage Livestream. Maybe it is just my 56 years showing, but I think that three days of waiting for the beat to drop was a bit much for me. But it really showed the talent levels of the daytime DJs vs the headliners. A fun weekend. Now everybody jump...

Cheers Antonio - Happy Birthday --

na - just looks better than the main stage in the daytime. I will watch people run fast and jump high another time.

Me: EDM weekend at Tomorrowland... https://www.tomorrowland.com/home/

Plug Me In by Eddie Harris (1968) https://album.link/i/76051553 Example: Groove so hard to this album - thanks Eddie...

Polishing that turd. thanks DOMi..

RIP - Abdul ‘Duke’ Fakir, last of the original Four Tops, dead at 88.

I like them better in B&W. And they seem way sexier than the pinball art I remember growing up..

It is better and funnier than this garbage that is being dumped on the internet. And they have like 9 channels all spitting out AI garbage all over YT... 🤢

FTFY

The Song Remains the Same by Led Zeppelin (1976) https://album.link/i/1400470544 https://open.qobuz.com/album/d3k9q3m2ttfxc Example: Might as well give the real clip. I listen to a lot of Zep, as we all should. But I realized the other day that I had not listened to the live album in a long time. Shame on me, I know. I have a clear conscious now. And I am a better person for it.

Grew up with Bob phone calls - and then the various Bob shows. Left a lot of great stuff for all of us - thx Bob - RIP.

STEAM and more...

Jesus Christ Superstar by Andrew Lloyd Webber (1970) https://album.link/i/1576869483 Example: This 2021 remaster sounds good. I grew up with this album in the house. I don't remember which sibling it belonged to, I also was exposed to the movie early on as well.

If Not Now, Who? by Joe K. Walsh (2023) https://album.link/i/1655044023 Example: Not that Joe Walsh. This is Joe Walsh (#6 on discogs) the bluegrass mandolin player. Very enjoyable album. w/ Banjo – Matt Flinner Bass – Karl Doty Drums – John Suntken Fiddle – Ella Jordan (tracks: 1,2,10), John Mailander Guitar – Grant Gordy Mandolin, Mandola – Joe Walsh (6)

^^ TICE comes running to post....

Aye: I start to run out of data fast. International Amphitheater, Chicago, IL -- November 29, 1981 Centennial Hall, Rock Island, IL -- October 4, 1981 Poplar Creek Music Theater, Hoffman Estates, IL -- August 9, 1981 ChicagoFest 1981 -- July 30, 1981 Teddy Pendergrass - Survivor - jan and dean <<-- I would see that show Checking the bar licenses for the greater Chicago area for dive bars was too large of an effort. But from the Chamber of Commerce - they only list one - Countryside Saloon 2501 E. Ballard Road Des Plaines, IL 60016 -- but everything is fancy. So I am not sure how to search for old records. Hopefully the locals can help.. .--- sorry.

I don't/didn't live there. but I can internet... Rocky 3 - May 28, 1982 I found the following shows: WLS Rockfest 1982 -- October 29, 1982 w/Judas Priest Poplar Creek Music Theater, Hoffman Estates, IL -- September 11, 1982 w/REO Speedwagon Marriott's Great America, Gurnee, IL -- June 18, 1982 Oct 01, 1982 -- Survivor @ Brother Rice High School Chicago, Illinois, United States But from your description it does not look like these are them. But I will do some additional looking until a local shows up.

Worse ways to spend an hour.

RIP Shelly Duvall, 75

Ott? Yup.. And the Waltzes from 2008 Brendel? yup. But mostly vinyl, so it has been a while. Also I don't remember him recording Chopin that much (Polonaises). I remember a pile of Beethoven and Schubert though. Argerich? Other stuff - but not Chopin. I will look for it. I know her DG stuff is respected. If I had a go-to, to use your term. It would probably be Artur: I really liked the 11 CD set and listened to it a lot. Also there are others as you said - Kissin, Perahia, Horowitz, etc That said, I don't listen to Chopin that often. I think he was great, and the dedication to piano was incredible. Just sometimes it is a bit 'too many notes' for me. But if you have album recommendations, please post, I would be happy to add them to my queue if they are available.
