July 13, 20224 yr Warpaint's first EP, Exquisite Corpse -- I'm familiar with about half of it, because of this concert, which I've listened to, about a brazillion times since its release a couple years ago: You wouldn't think I'd like this, but there's something about this song-oriented laid-back jamband-ish grooviness that carries a very particular charisma for me, hitting me at the same level as doomy stoner. They also make me think of a less testosterone-y* Black Midi, in their free-form stylings. *Yes, that probably rhymes with some sort of pasta.
July 13, 20224 yr Rocky Mountain Way Joe Walsh 1985 https://album.link/i/1484423747 80s Walsh is good Walsh:
July 13, 20224 yr ^^^ That song and In The City are my two favorites of his.....(especially when the latter was used in The Warriors)
July 13, 20224 yr Got a 'Hot' day? - do a little Bossa Nova Big Band Bossa Nova Stan Getz 1962 https://album.link/i/1469584558 Its only 33 minutes long - so why not the entire album sample? (YouTube compression does not help the sound vs TIDAL) Edited July 13, 20224 yr by mikeymad
July 13, 20224 yr By coincident I saw Jazz Piano Player Roberto Fonseca on Mezzo TV Montreal Jazz Festival something, playing solo piano. Thereafter I grabber a bottle of wine and found/enjoyed Edited July 13, 20224 yr by JoaMat

July 14, 20224 yr The Broadway Album Barbra Streisand 1985 https://album.link/i/190624052 Example: Not a great album (and the production is very 80s at times). But I can really appreciate her on a couple of tracks (the example being one of them).
July 14, 20224 yr Such a great album. "Island In The Rain" is a pretty much perfect song about loss and regret and the memory of happier times.
July 14, 20224 yr Another good Hot Day Album: Gipsy Kings Gipsy Kings 1988 https://album.link/i/316136217 Goodness:
July 14, 20224 yr 40 Watt Sun, Perfect Light -- insanely long slowcore album that I find blissful. Production values are next level.
July 15, 20224 yr Warning: possible boring content 😉 Revolver is without a doubt my favorite Beatles album for as long as I can remember. My mom bought me this vinyl when I was barely 12 years old and for many years I have been buying reissues, remasters, rare copies... Forget all songs and go to "Tomorrow never Knows", turn up the volume on your Blue Hawaii and accommodate your 007... Ringo's drums sound brutal!!!!! Phil Collins also has a very good version on his Face Value album from 1981.
July 16, 20224 yr New release day: ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, XI: Bleed Here Now -- prog. Fantastic! Nice variety, very much enjoyed. Black Midi, Hellfire -- I'll be honest, I don't get Black Midi's rambling, free-form style. I just don't get it. I enjoyed it alright, but not something I'll ever resonate with. I'm not a lyrics listener, so that probably has a lot to do with it. Kekal, Envisaged -- pleasant surprise of the day! Absolutely ace, more Voivod than Voivod, (except Voivod's guitarist is still amazing) One from last week I forgot: Telekinetic Yeti, Primordial -- just a guy with a 7-string guitar and a drummer making music sounding much bigger than any twosome should be able to. Like a proggier, more stoner White Stripes or Royal Blood.

Phil Collins also has a very good version on his Face Value album from 1981. Not boring at all. I have gone back and forth between Revolver and Rubber Soul over the years. I like the innovations in both with Rubber being the start of some and Revolver being the refinement of others. Midnight Ludovico Einaudi 2021 https://album.link/i/1561676390 Example: After seeing his Tiny Desk Concert, the other day I had to go back and listen to some of the other albums. This is one that I like, and I would use an extended version to relax to while I would work.
July 18, 20224 yr Debussy: Préludes du 2e Livre, La Mer (transc. Debussy) Alexander MelnikovOlga Pashchenko 2018 https://album.link/i/1612794541 Example:
July 19, 20224 yr Turn Up The Quiet Diana Krall 2017 https://album.link/i/1440880927 Example: One of the few albums I didn't own by her. It is good, a little overshadowed in my head by the other great albums. But it will go into my Diana Rotation. Edit - I just noticed the mcintosh turntable mt10 on the table with her. Spinning some Ella and Duke Verve wax. No idea where the speakers are. Edited July 19, 20224 yr by mikeymad
July 19, 20224 yr The Bear soundtrack recreated playlist on Spotify. https://vaguevisages.com/2022/06/27/the-bear-soundtrack-fx-hulu-songs/ Ex.
July 20, 20224 yr Digging the pre-Asia project -- U.K. U.K. U.K. 1978 https://album.link/i/724148107 Example (part of a longer track): John Wetton, Bill Bruford, Eddie Jobson and Allan Holdsworth.

So great. The second album -- Danger Money -- is entirely different -- trio: Eddie Jobson, John Wetton, and Terry Bozzio, but still worth hearing. I'm definitely a fan of both albums, but Holdsworth was mad good.
