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.

Research:

^^ 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

Cheers Nate - Wishing a happy birthday -

Makes it look the size of a quarter -- but still looks yummy (bite size)

^^ I can understand that - it is short. I was sad when it finished up so fast. So Brothers And Sisters by The Allman Brothers Band (1973) https://album.link/i/1455534876 Example: I started out this album a little disappointed with the opening track. Not bad, just not much there. Then it rolled into Ramblin' Man which I always liked, but it is a good tune, not a great one for me. From there on the album just keeps building on itself, by the time that I got to the 7.5 minute version of Jessica (above), I was all in. With the lovely coda of Pony Boy at the end. Happy to have this locked into my memory as a good album.

Ballads by John Coltrane (1963) https://album.link/i/1440747672 Example: Such a deep catalog of goodness to continue to dig through...

^^ thanks I had not realized that I missed last years outing. So I watched that one before this one. Still trying to recover from jizza's belly size.

Cheers Naaman - Happy Birthday -

Posters Fade by Derby (2008) https://album.link/i/284547555 Example: I do enjoy when music can just be a small pile of fun.

true..... but still. ....

Miles Español by Various Artists (2011) https://album.link/i/462267513 (it is on other services) Example: A good collections of tunes about a good collection of tunes.

Cheers Colin - Happy Birthday my friend. I hope to get together sooner than later -

Cheers Mr Steve --- Wishing you a happy Birthday and all the wood you can nibble on..
