February 22, 20233 yr Silver Lining Suite Hiromi 2021 https://album.link/i/1577444014 Example: Very good all the way around. Fun, pointent, complex, pretty, swinging.
February 23, 20233 yr Day after Fat Tuesday - New Orleans Funk My People Cha Wa 2021 https://album.link/i/1547894757 Example: Just happen to run across this in my queue today. Glad I did. I have not been to New Orleans yet - but I would like to go for the music and the food.
February 23, 20233 yr https://album.link/us/i/1440945297 Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface Just good old normal alternative rock passionately played and emotionally sung I think I'll put on some Rhiannon Giddens next -- she's playing live in the area in March. I'd see that.
February 24, 20233 yr Got some new cables to try in my Pi-streamer/GaN amp system, pulled this out after many months, remembered how much I liked this. A bit "lively" sounding but good on a good stereo, too.
February 24, 20233 yr ^I may still have that album. The local stereo shop had that in stock and used it all the time for demos. For some reason I thought it was a Linn Records pressing, but Discogs does not have that info. {30yo memory, not what it use to be} Late last night: Unwind Yasmin Williams 2018 https://album.link/i/1378048163 Example: Very good tapping technique album. I like that Yasmin is not all about technique for me. A good balance of great playing and good themes.
February 26, 20233 yr Tchaikovsky/Sibelius: Violin Concertos Kyung Wha Chung, London Symphony Orchestra, André Previn 1995 (um - Nope - that is 1970 - this date must have been the remaster) https://album.link/i/1452191392 Example: Not much to say about this. Chung (at 22), LSO with Previn on Decca. yup yup yup yup...

Chung (at 22), LSO with Previn on Decca. yup yup yup yup... They're also two of my favourite violin concertos (well, top 13, anyway). Will give it a listen.
February 27, 20233 yr Unrelated -- me, earlier: The Church's new one, Hypnagogue -- as is typical, very very good. They seem to spend more time creating their slightly mellow, slightly psychedelic art-rock (E.G. "Destination", Gold Afternoon Fix, Priest=Aura, Sometime Anywhere, &c.) than any kind of sequel to their biggest hit, the wistful ballad, "Under the Milky Way", for which I admire them. Quaffable.
February 27, 20233 yr Kerala Dust - Violet Drive. Singers voice and the overall chill feel definitely reminds me some of The The, with modern touches....which is a good thing.
February 27, 20233 yr Makaya McCraven: International Anthem @ Public Records (Volume 3) Looks like it's a Qobuz exclusive.
February 28, 20233 yr ^^ can confirm it is not in TIDAL but: Wood Brian Bromberg 2002 https://album.link/i/339942216 Example: Dropping the bass as Brian does. Enjoyable 2002 album.
February 28, 20233 yr Garbage's first album, for some reason. Prior to that, I was stuck on Black Sabbath's Technical Ecstasy and Simple Minds' New Gold Dream (gosh I love those albums so much) for some reason. Probably because I haven't been liste ning to music, so my mind mentally replays whatever I know most well. So...those three albums.
March 1, 20233 yr 'Round About Midnight Miles Davis 1957 https://album.link/i/159135486 Example: I had not listened to this in a while. Good to get back to it. And the Legacy Edition extends it to 1.5 hours of 1957 goodness. It is funny to watch some reaction videos on the YTs of younger people listening to 70s music, shocked that the recording sounds good. Um, good recordings go way way way back. I digress - listen to more Miles folks.
March 1, 20233 yr Author Listening to more Miles is always advisable. However, your post is the second reminder that I want to watch Round Midnight again (for the many-th time). The first reminder was a Dexter Gordon picture on the wall at the Village Vanguard. Love that movie, Lady Francis.
March 2, 20233 yr A View From The Top Of The World Dream Theater 2021 https://album.link/i/1576732163 Example: These guys have been consistently prolific for so long that sometimes I forget how hard that is. And as always their caliber of play is impeccable. Shame that I have only seen them once live.
March 3, 20233 yr now - rip The All Seeing Eye Wayne Shorter 1965 https://album.link/i/1443232004 Example:
March 3, 20233 yr ^ this on TIDAL!! -- Will be working my way through that catalog. Speaking of Streaming. I found out last night that BAND-MAID finally hit TIDAL as well. I have been waiting for this. They only have two albums so far. So I listened to both of them last night. Unseen World BAND-MAID 2021 https://album.link/i/1542316961 and Unleash BAND-MAID 2022 https://album.link/i/1643608830 Example: Instrumental As described by one reviewer, 'oh they can Play play'. I get caught up in their franetic playing and heavy hooks. I want to put their albums on repeat on an old computer so that it shows TIDAL to get the rest of the catalog.
March 4, 20233 yr Hit a couple of record shops today. This was playing when I walked into one of them…
March 4, 20233 yr Problems with a red plinth…. clashes with purple. Where was @swt61 when I needed him.
March 4, 20233 yr Throw some yellow paisley stickers on it. Problem solved. BTW, "Problems with a Red plinth" sounds like Stings latest album.
