Yahoo (di)!

Bah, that didn't work so well.

Verdi Requiem, the requisite blow your ear drums, Dies irae.

Just got a German import of the Semyon Bychkov conducted Multichannel SACD.

Julia Fischer - Poème. Really good performances, and I like her playing style.

Adryelle, Glass Box EP -- link -- a pixie Tori Amos with Animal on drums. I kept waiting to see if she would turn around, and he would shrink down and quiet down at the same time, and then she'd face forward again, and he'd open his mouth and get loud again.

But alas, that never happened.

Still was quite entertaining, I'm smitten.

don ross - passion session

garbage 2.0

Eclat - Volume I & II (1996)

Ryan Adams - Orion

Ryan Adams does what people are calling metal, but that sounds more like punk from my high school years

The Flaming Lips - Hear It Is (vinyl reissue)

Ryan Adams and the Cardinals - III/IV (Vinyl)

Pendragon, Concerto Maximo -- holy shit, they've been around for 30 years?!?!?

Yearly visit with an old fave:

Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I (1999)

There were a couple years where I lived & breathed this record. Totally forgot about the last verse of the whole thing:

So in the end, whatever, we die, we dissolve

Equations unbalanced, riddles unsolved

And we were never connected or involved

Except for the intersections and crazy mathematics

With no time and no space and no schedule and no place

And they pass right through us without a trace

And sometimes that music drifts through my car

On a spring night when anything is possible

And I close my eyes and I nod my head

And I wonder how you been

And I count to a hundred and ten

Because you'll always be my hero even if I never see you again

Repercussion Unit - In Need Again (1987)

Ed Mann, Gregg Johnson, Jim Hildebrandt, John Bergamo, Larry Stein and Lucky Mosko

Playing: Marimda, Vibes, Steel Drum, Aluminafon, Tuned Gongs, Cow Bells, Woodblocks, Mixing Bowls & Frying Pans, Tabla, Bongos, Congas, Djembe, Kanjira, Tarn, Tambourines, Morsing & Drumset, Simmons Silicon Mallet (with MTX9, SDE & Aki S900), Bass Synthesizers (Yamaha DX7 II, Roland SH101 & Jupiter 6).

Exactly what I need, a percussion overload in the evening.

r.e.m. new adventures in hi-fi

Pulled these out to start my day.

Lucinda Williams "Little Honey"

Rickie lee Jones "Pirates"

dead can dance "into the Labyrinth"

Adelle "21"

Al Green "Still in love with you"

Rickie lee Jones "Pirates"

Been listening to a lot lately.

Currently Ben Webster...

Black Sabbath - self titled (Japan PD33-353 first pressing CD, 2 albums on one disc)

on LCD-2

Is there something particularly good about that version/pressing/whatever? Black Sabbath is a favorite of mine.

Shocking, innit?

IMO it is the best version on CD (tonally sounds the closest to the original vinyl), and I have heard them all. Still I prefer the UK first pressing vinyl, but I only play them when I'm not "background" listening.

The problem with that CD is it omits Sleeping Village and Warning due to the time limitation. I still can't get over that, truncating one of the best metal albums ever

Vetiver -- The Errant Charm

On vinyl. One of the FFF bartenders is the vocalist.

...it omits Sleeping Village and Warning...

Yeah, that's pretty much a show-stopper for me. Have they done other disks? We Sold Our Souls, perhaps? Nevermind, I'll go look, myself...

Sander Van Doorn vs Afrojack & R3hab - Koko Prutataaa (First State Mashup)
