Radiohead the bends, and reading lyrics off the record insert I've come to a few conclusions. 

#1 - I have been mistaken on so many lyrics for like 20 years now lol

#2 - this album is mad fucked up yo. 

Having a bad day so this is up next on repeat

 

Marsheaux, Ath.Lon (pure, unadulterated synthpop)

 

I just opened up my box and the disks were missing, so I'm listening to this on Tidal.

Phronesis - Parallax (2016)

This album is also available at Bandcamp. I've enjoyed it a lot.

Unholy carp, just a minute in, and I'm already in love.  Purchasing.  Going to pre-order their next album in the 24/96 format, yah?

EDIT:  Never mind, it's not really "their next album", it's older material worked into the big band format -- so, their Sylva, as it were -- but still, glorious, my thing, definitely getting it...

That's not good!

^ Hate when that happens, or when it's the wrong CD because I was too lazy to put it in the right case the last time.

 

Seeing a theme here?

Is Liza or Barbra next?

This weekend starts the 2017 edition of SXSW. 

As usual, an unbelievable number of cool stuff. 

So I'm always thankful for NPR doing their "Austin 100". A bin of 100 mp3's from artists that will perform at the festival.

Some of these have horrid SQ but it gives you a heads up before the live streaming begins.

Some Hi-Rez yummage: Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions (DSD) and Livingston Taylor Safe Home (24-192)

Trinity is even moar awesomer than other versions I've heard.  Safe Home is excellent sounding, but for the first time - and I've seen and liked Livingston Taylor over many years - I didn't like some of the arrangements/singing.  Still great overall, but I miss the "spark" that he brings to live shows.

 

Wait, what?

U2 used to occasionally open for themselves during the Joshua Tree tour under the guise of a fake country band called The Dalton Brothers.

I know a lot of people think U2 are arrogant dickheads, but I think this is pretty damn sweet!

This, which I saw on the shelf of the musical instruments rental store, while exchanging my daughter's 1/2 size cello for a 3/4 size cello, and I had to have it.

I especially like the name of the production company.

I've got that one too Jon.

I bought it on the recommendation that it's the best produced videos of 'Trane.

Since then, I've seen a ton of them and this is far and away the best.

Enjoy!
