Me: LongGone Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride, Brian Blade 2022 https://album.link/i/1632077032 Example - live: Better recording on the album - but a bit more fun live. Redman - yes, Mehldau - yes, McBride - yes, Blade - yes. Powerhouse of a group, I hate that we only get them every two years or so. But worthy wait for goodness. I am glad that they all do solo and other projects to keep my ears happy. This. Happy ears here too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Currently: New Beth Orton EP Yesterday: new Toehider -- freakin' fantastic! Single track album. Proggers, give this a listen. Also, new Holy Fawn (Shoegaze/metal) -- been waiting for this forever, newest favourite band. Vocals are more buried than any human body has ever been before. They have multiple reverb pedals (one guitarist has two; another has three), so it's expansive beyond measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to listen to the new album tonight but it will be a little bittersweet. I have sfjazz tickets to see these guys on Sept. 23 but we're not going to be back from our summer trip by then (for good reason and to see some HC people in Chicago). The tix are great and not cheap but if you want to buy them, let me know. I can return them and will do so soon, but I'd love to have you see them and tell me all about it later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm321 Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 I appreciate the offer, Al. Unfortunately, We will be out of town that weekend. We'll be at our place in the Grass Valley area. Safe travels and enjoy your Caser visits. It would be great to get together after all the summer travels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Afghan Whigs, How Do You Burn? -- freakin' excellent! Rawx! Now I need to go back and relisten to the last couple albums, don't think I've listened to anything by them since 1965. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Terrible movie but 18-year-old me remembers young Heather Graham very fondly. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Wow....I have never seen that movie (and maybe it's a good thing; but I like Heather as well). My favorite Heather movie isn't actually Austin Powers, but instead a little no-name called Gray Matters. A light fun romp, not super deep but I managed to like just about all the characters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely in my top five. Love her too....amazing talent, and powerful voice. Her version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" eclipses Roberta Flack's by a good margin for me, and that version was already fantastic. On a side note, amazing that the song was written by Ewan MacColl, amazing himself, and father to the ever-lovely Kirsty MacColl (RIP).

mikeymad Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 Nancy & Lee Nancy Sinatra, Lee Hazlewood 1968 https://album.link/i/1616561102 Example: -- Almost a perfect Album opener. Most of the album is like that, but not as slow. Some good and bad engineering in there as well. I was entertained for 42 minutes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to sing along with her so much, I could probably cover Winter Kills, All Cried Out, This House (except I need to work on those high "oo-oo"'s) and...uh...I forget the fourth one. I have everything from Steal Me Blind through Where Hides Sleep memorized, is probably any of those. It's always 4 songs -- 4 by Black Sabbath, 4 by Blue Oyster Cult, 4 by Golden Earring...yeah yeah I know, my boomer is showing. 🤪 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 If Not For You (Deluxe Edition / Remastered 2022) Olivia Newton-John 1971 https://album.link/i/1641384228 Example: Before she was physical. Early and a bit rough Olivia. I can appreciate some of the gems in there but a typical covers album for a young talent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 The Salzburg Recital (Live) Evgeny Kissin 2022 https://album.link/i/1630346272 Example: Kissen doing Kissen things - and that is a good thing. Interesting how he can make Gershwin sound like a Russian composer. But most of the performance is really good and a nice simple clean DG recording. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last? Big Red Machine 2021 https://album.link/i/1571575880 Example: I went into this one blind, like I do with most new music. And it was all over the place, and in the end I really liked it. It has some Elliot Smith type stuff like the example. And then there are things that I didn't like. But there are songs with Anaïs Mitchell , Fleet Foxes and Taylor Swift among others. Just before posting I had to look them up.. helmed by Bon Iver's, Justin Vernon and the National's, Aaron Dessner, ah I understand more now and how they had pull of getting big names. Anyway, I think I will have to put this into rotation to figure it all out more. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
