random disc out of my heifetz box set.

 

haven't actually sat and listened to music in a while.  its nice.

 

Out of curiosity, Voltron, as a fellow Bay Area resident have you ever been to the Church of St. Coltrane?

 

Nope

Has it reopened? I thought it was long gone. 

^ Potential mini-meet opportunity?   

 

They do have a website but it just has the same "upcoming events" over and over again so I have no idea.

But he has visited the sister churches of Yoshi's and SF Jazz.

 

Me:  new GvsB!  The Ghost List EP

 

Also new Phantogram!  (self-titled EP)

Chet Atkins - Fingerstyle Guitar

 

Frank Black -- Odd Balls

 

SPC ECO, Sirens and Satellites again

 

online streaming link

Agnes Obel - Aventine

 

Is that out?  Queuing that up next...

Never heard of her until today. 

 

Currently listening to Philharmonics.

 

Very refreshing.

 

 

Agnes Obel - Aventine

Lorde was first (did you know she was only 16?) -- definitely like her hiptronica-tinged take on Fiona Apple-esque singer-songwriting alto...

 

Then started Fates Warning, but taking a detour through Rush, will then return to Fates Warning...

^^ didn't notice that until now..

 

but ... 

 

 

Slash - 2012 - Apocalyptic Love

 

I have always liked his guitar sound...

^ Me too 

Listened to the new Fates Warning -- Dusty like!  Not enough clean vocals + rawk in the world (this being exactly that).  Too bad the closest they are touring is Reading, PA. 

 

Now listening to Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Un Escorpion Perfumado -- so great

Katatonia, Dethroned & Uncrowned -- very different, their take on a "soft album" (e.g., Damnation)

Agnes Obel - Aventine

 

 

Thanks... This was excellent!

 

As is this:

Lorde - Pure Heroin

 

Lights - Siberia

 

Anna Calvi - S/T

 

Pete Namlook tribute album fan submissions -- I didn't make the final cut on the physical release, but they need a certain amount of pre-orders before they'll master it for a digital release....mine is "larzotog", easily the shortest of the bunch. 

John Wizards -- S/T

 

 

Check this one out. Think some of you would really like it.

Listening now -- I already like the first several seconds.

 

EDIT:  It's a bit 'happier' than I'm used to, but right now I'm enjoying it.

 Cue up the bandwagon...

 

Lorde - Pure Heroin

 

 

 

Agnes Obel - Aventine

 

So far I like both, a lot.  It's been a long damn time since I've gotten much new music and I have forgotten how much fun the discovery is.
