Living on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a bitch!.... When in doubt - step away from the volcano... 🌋 Be safe Birgir ...

Higher Chris Stapleton 2023 https://album.link/i/1697401120 Example: New Chris album just dropped. Happy to have another set of tunes from a master of crafting the most out all the words.

Delia Derbyshire - The Delian Mode -- documentary short.

RIP astronaut Frank Borman, 95 https://www.npr.org/2023/11/09/953342565/nasa-apollo-gemini-astronaut-frank-borman-dies

Cheers Birthday Buddy. I hope you had a good one.

^^ that's a funny looking curry...

Ill Communication Beastie Boys 1994 https://album.link/i/724771323 Example: Yeah I know 'Sabotage' rules, but I just really like how much Jazz is on this album. Probably pissed a lot of people off back in the 90s, but I think that this is really a great complete album. Well done.

^^ added that back into my queue.... it has been too long - thx Edit -- Well a Thread Search says last year - but still.

yay for the volcano tour... 🌋

I really enjoy your simple overhead god's view Wes Anderson style food shots Steve...

A great half hour of chill beats way before chill beats was a thing.

Street Survivors Lynyrd Skynyrd 1977 https://album.link/i/1484692844 Example: Remembering Ronnie on the anniversary of the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash on this day in 1977. The album that was released three days before the crash that took 6 people's lives. I saw them once they regrouped with brother Johnny singing in 1988, along with the Rossington Collins Band at the Concord Pavilion. It was a good show, but of course not the same. Edit: Correction - SEP 27, 1987 - at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre... {Friend Richard, who has a much better memory than myself provided clues to find the actual show). Oh and here is the setlist - https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/lynyrd-skynyrd/1987/irvine-meadows-amphitheatre-irvine-ca-1bc6ddc8.html

Cheers Sir Dusty.. wishing you a purple and black Birthday.. -- Cheers

one more for the evening. Reading, Writing And Arithmetic The Sundays 1990 https://album.link/i/1440917168 Example: Just a chunk of 1990s goodness. It was very much of its time, but so am I.

Thriller Michael Jackson 1982 https://album.link/i/269572838 Example - I know that I don't need one - but just the opening production of this: Pretty good...

Plays For Bird (RVG Remaster) Sonny Rollins 1956 https://album.link/i/1443215456 < This list needs to be updated Example: I was not a big fan of the first tune, but the rest of the album made up for it spades. I don't really know why, may be the first track was a little bit too much in your face. 4 tracks for 52 min.. Some killer tunes before the magic 1959.

Americana, Vol. 2 JD Allen 2022 https://album.link/i/1633349120 Example: I feel bad that I didn't start with Volume 1 of Americana. Anyway a very good Jazz/Blues Album with lots of flavors and styles on display. This made it into my queue last year, and as we know I am way behind. But happy to discover gems like this in the mix. Need to explore JD a little more, I like the style and this one is recorded well.

Ha, welcome to the uncontained family. I've been watching Spenser and Mac for about 5 years now ever since they first connected the two containers. Pretty amazing journey, and I learned a lot. I have enjoyed 'Michygoss' {Canadian} and the earlier videos from 'Cajun Country Livin'' {they must have gotten a marketing team this year}. Ed: I was using vv this thread for non-traditional things that I watch. But serial YT is pretty close to TV...

Country Airs: The Original Version (Expanded Edition) Rick Wakeman 1986 https://album.link/i/1508393470 Example: I remember back in the 80s I was into Rick Wakeman (still am) and into New Age Music (kinda still am), and this album came out. It really showed his composition style and is ornamentation of cords and themes. Still really enjoyable as a Sunday morning listen. He has over 90 solo albums, so I don't think I will be doing a Discography run anytime soon.

You've Got To Learn (Live) Nina Simone 2023 https://album.link/i/1689102364 Example: Much more of a historical release than an audio one. Some great performances of 1966, at the Newport Jazz Festival. Just not engineered very well, lots of vocal clipping that is tough if you are really trying to listen and get into it. Still really glad it was released, it will just not be in rotation. Rant - I find that so much with the deluxe and super deluxe ultimate extended anniversary release of some albums with 74 tracks for an album that had 9 songs. Cool, I was glad I heard it once, now I am going to go back to the original album. I usually don't need to listen to the 4th take of a demo that didn't make it on the album in the first place. I feel that I have written about this before. - End Rant. So, speaking of a band that I know much more by name than music, or I should say I did until now. Nightlife Thin Lizzy 1974 https://album.link/i/1443836724 Example: Really great dual guitar led rock. I, of course, am very familiar with 'the boys are back in town' off of Jailbreak, but there is a lot of music before and after that that I was never exposed to. I guess I will keep my TIDAL account for a little bit longer.

Vladimir Horowitz - Horowitz in Moscow Vladimir Horowitz 2010 (Ed - 1986) https://album.link/i/1452506788 Example: A master playing a masters game. At 81 with his return to Moscow, he really did show that he had very few peers. I remember watching this in the 80's on "CBS Sunday Morning" with Charles Kuralt and being mesmerized. I need to play this more.

New contemporary female - pianist. Romance – The Piano Music of Clara Schumann Isata Kanneh-Mason 2019 https://album.link/i/1463178540 Example: A lovely set of recordings of Clara's work (her husband was Robert). I really liked the Romances, and the Scherzo (shared) off of this album over the orchestral works. But all well recorded by Decca. I still think Isata is growing and learning, but I have enjoyed her work.

thx for keeping an eye on the internets Knucks. Dang - now I want some pizza.

Hello Nasty (Deluxe Edition/Remastered) Beastie Boys 1998 https://album.link/i/721224205 Example: like you don't know it - I was going to pull a deep cut - but this is just too good. "Intergalactic, kill the children, kill the children, intergalactic.." I know it does not say that... Anyway, a really good album. I would almost put it squarely in the acid jazz category. So many great tracks that hit hard, and with dynamics and diversity. Worthy revisit.
