Tangram, Mise en Pièces...except for the track, "Zombie", which for some reason, won't play (Spotify).  Groovy French ...uh...post-new-wave?

 

chevelle - hats of the the bull

 

i somehow didn't realize they had released this one. its pretty good!

Worm is Green, Glow -- recommended by Spotify because I listened to All India Radio, I like it.  You know their recommendation engine is good when they recommend you things you already like, but they need to figure out a way not to re-recommend things they've already recommended.

Mozart - Requiem

 

tom waits - swordfishtrombones

 

 

one of the first albums head-case turned me on to.  

 

thanks, guys.

Turisas, Stand Up and Fight -- Viking metal with clean vocals -- stately, majestic, power metal.  Melikey.  Cover of "Broadsword" (originally by Jethro Tull) in the style a plus.

 

Now playing:

Mavis Staples -- You Are Not Alone

Highly buzzed and listening to the EC BA AD1 on the RS-1 and HP-2, I have to say this album sounds divine.

Agreed

Moar Turisas -- this stuff really makes me smile.  Right up there with The Crown (albeit completely different).

  On vinyl:  

 

 

   

Feels like a Sunday, so some glorious hi-fi mono (vinyl).

 

GNF'nR from all the GNF'nR talk around here.

 

Also testing out a sidewall bookshelf in here.  

The foam and crap was just a bit too much to keep explaining to all the visitors.  

 

I really don't like assembling these things.  

 

 

I love that people here love good music.  All the gear lust in the world doesn't equal one aweome album side regardless of the source/amp/cans/speakers/etc.

Word.

 

Alice, The End of the Beginning

Word x2
 

Black Veil Brides | Set the World on Fire

 

Year of No Light, Nord -- heavyness

 

OMD - 2013 - English Electric

I should probably listen to that before Saturday, but instead I'm listening to John Wesley, Shiver, which is actually quite foot-tappingly good.  I'd want him to accompany me.  Were I good enough to, you know, warrant accompanying by him.

Doctor Who ultraslowed:

^Very nice album.

 

Joseph Joachim Raff: Violin Concertos 1 & 2 - Michaela Paetsch-Neftel, Bamberger Symphoniker, Hans Stadlmair.

 

^Very nice album.

 

On a first listen, I prefer her last one.  Maybe too much Tweedy on this one...

The previous one was very good, I agree this isn't at the same level, but still liked it quite a bit.

Lots and lots of Lacrimas Profundere -- gothy metal with clean baritone, Peter Steele-style vocals, but not slow like Type O Negative.

Been listening to a lot of the Carpenters lately.

 

Between Karen's amazing voice and her tragic story its hard not to get emotional.

 

Or maybe I'm just a sucker for Altos.
