Just finished three cd set - Morricone

Lollers -- if that's as "all over the place" as the set of compilations I streamed on Spotify once, there's some weird shit buried in there.

Airplaying Mikey's suggestion to the big screen

It's almost like being there, apart from the on-demand ice cream and Diet Coke.

On some long shots you can see the "no audio or video devices allowed" signs,

Which is somewhat ironic given the quality of the streaming.

Will keep an eye out for DOTU in the crowd shots.

Loving streaming from the Arrow stages last act "Big Star's Third".

Really dig the planned chaos of these "all star" bands.

 

Thanks Mikey!!!!!

A few on deck now:

Marc, you and other classical music fans should check out the new Marcel Dupre Mercury Living Presence releases.

Some folks think it could be the best organ recordings from the golden age.

The remastering was to get better fidelity rather than changing the sound of the original masters. The production was supervised by Tom Fine (son of Wilma and Robert).

I assume these are different and/or not overlapping with the other big Mercury box sets?

These were just released Sept. 18th and immediately sold out at most of the big sellers like Amazon.

I believe the only overlap might be with the CD 10: Marcel Dupré - Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony since it features the Detroit Sym w/Paray.

Tom seems to think that cd turned out particularly well in the Dupre set.

 

More Live Streaming from Hardly Strictly.

Ric's recent post reminded me of this guy... haven't listened to him in ages.

Justin Townes Earle - The Good Life

Boards of Canada - Geodaddi

FKA Twigs - M3LL155X

Pretty cool music, and awesome cover!  Thanks Bryan.....

Discovered a super late typo, it's FKA Twigs (not FKW...)

Saw them live at Lollapalooza - the absolute best electronic act that performed this year, easily.

Ryan Adams -- Heartbreaker

Karl Hyde, Edgeland -- doesn't sound anything like Underworld.

Redshift, Life to Come -- spectacular, this might be their best yet.

Antimatter, The Judas Table -- this is better than Fear of a Unique Identity, but now I'm listening to Timeline -- An Introduction to Antimatter, and the old stuff is still imminently listenable.  I still think Judas Table will go into regular rotation with the others.

They Might Be Giants - The Else

I fucking love this band.

Windhand - Grief's Infernal Flower

I fucking love this band.

Windhand - Grief's Infernal Flower

This is awesome.  It balances that same delicate point between that slow, funereal, stoner metal without being emo about it, and Pitchfork indie hipster -ism.  Haven't heard that since that Black Mountain album.

I didn't realize it was out. I loved Soma and had been waiting for this to drop.

The National -- Alligator

NPR's First Listen has some winners this week.  Son Little, in particular, is some tasty soul.
