April 6, 201016 yr Author There is a rumor that Mosaic Records might be going out of business. So now might be the time to pick up any box sets you want. Thelonious Monk Complete Live At the It Club was one of my favorite jazz purchases from last year.

April 12, 201016 yr Special editions of Epica's The Divine Conspiracy and Design your Universe to get the bonus tracks. It is odd, ripping DYU SE produces FLAC files about 30mb larger than the normal edition, not counting the bonus track. Very large CD, 79 minutes of awesome music.
April 12, 201016 yr Most of my recent music purchases have come via my Magnatune membership, but this week... Mike Oldfield .... Tubular Bells = a classic that I somehow have not acquired Everything But the Girl - Idlewild = Thank you Antonio! Excellent. No scratch that, most excellent!
April 13, 201016 yr Special editions of Epica's The Divine Conspiracy and Design your Universe to get the bonus tracks. It is odd, ripping DYU SE produces FLAC files about 30mb larger than the normal edition, not counting the bonus track. Very large CD, 79 minutes of awesome music. Maybe mastering is different? Usually, if the track is louder, the more space it fills up (for some reason) Everything But the Girl - Idlewild = Thank you Antonio! Excellent. No scratch that, most excellent! Heh, he got you too!
April 14, 201016 yr I just picked up the following albums on vinyl Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms, Dire Straits Green Day - Dookie Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark, Ladies of the Canyon James Taylor - Sweet Baby James Metallica - Master of Puppets (special edition) Nirvana - Nevermind Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitsch Stevie Nicks - Crystal Vision - The Very Best of Stevie Nicks Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium
April 16, 201016 yr Author The Kenny Burrell and John Coltrane is great! Although mine is a CD not vinyl. Yup one of my favorite Coltrane albums. These 45 rpms aren't cheap but they'll bring my many years of enjoyment, more than any gear that comes and goes.
April 27, 201016 yr Just bought a couple very cheap FLAC albums from Orlando artist Thomas Wynne (& The Believers, his band). Excellent southern rock, songwriting's not quite *there* yet but he's getting close to nailing it down. The guy has a voice on him though, one that should propel him to a decent level of fame if there's any justice in the world. There's also a free recording of a concert at Skipper's, my local jamband/blues redneck hippie joint. It's not superb quality but very listenable and shows the much more jam oriented side of their live performances. Check out "You Can't Hurt Me" from that set and marvel at the intense 3 minute distorted harmonica solo, and just how damned tight this band is live.
May 12, 201016 yr Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Sparklehorse - Good Morning Spider & It's a Wonderful Life The Dead Weather - Sea of Cowards and The National - High Violet (plus Boxer to go with it)

May 19, 201016 yr Just an FYI... Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day, for $26.99 is "Woodstock Ultimate Collector's Edition on BluRay" which is quite the deal, IMO. Amazon.com Gold Box: New Deals. Every Day. I think I paid at least twice as much when it first came out (not all that long ago) and wasn't disappointed.
May 21, 201016 yr Only 17 years after it came out, 15+ years since I first heard of the artist, over a decade since I was aware of the album's existence, I finally bought myself a copy of YAP's 1993 self-titled release.
