November 18, 20232 yr Maestro: Music by Leonard Bernstein (Original Soundtrack / Dolby Atmos) London Symphony Orchestra, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Bradley Cooper 2023 https://album.link/i/1716774772 Example: I cannot really recommend it, just because I will never go back to this to listen to. There are some really nice recordings in here, along with rich performances. And then there are works that are clearly outtakes from the movie - that I have not seen. So it becomes very disjointed. Reminding me of the Tar soundtrack. Just give me the full works as they were recorded and then if you want the other stuff stick them in as extra tracks. Anyway, I probably would still like to see the movie.
November 19, 20232 yr The world is shit enough right now that some smooth music and bourbon together does not go astray.

November 25, 20232 yr The Happiest Times I Ever Ignored Hayden Pedigo 2023 https://album.link/i/1671890098 Example: So I came across Hayden on a recent Tiny Desk, and I really liked the tunes, and the super clean technique. When it comes to guitar playing I am not a big fan of hearing the fingers slide on the strings, and that is pretty much absent for Hayden. The NPR post. There has also been some really good 70's Jazz. First Cuckoo Deodato 1975 https://album.link/i/1588155428 Example: I have really grown to appreciate Deodato's playing (piano) recently. And the smooth funk is juuuust right...
November 26, 20232 yr G.T.R GTR 1986 https://album.link/i/1036846135 Example: Nice combo with Steve Hackett, Steve Howe and Geoffrey Downes. This one got a little lost with the Asia albums coming out around all this. Seems like a side project for Geoffrey, and the Steve's wanted to play together. Not mad about it. I thought that this was an early 90's album in my head, but it fits in with the mid 80's as well. With Asia and Yes around this time, along with IQ and Marillion. Good Sunday listen as I bake bacon... :}
November 27, 20232 yr Killing Joke. I just hit play on Spotify, so whatever comes up. Currently: Love Like Blood. Egad, what a huge sound. And he tuned a whole step down! My man!
November 27, 20232 yr Rage Against The Machine Rage Against The Machine 1992 https://album.link/i/191450810 Example - You have to click to listen. Happy Cyber Monday - Motherfuuuuckersss....
November 30, 20232 yr Nameless Dominique Fils-Aimé 2018 https://album.link/i/1328997132 Example: New Artist to me. Going to be going very high on my audiophile testing playlist. VERY well recorded and a great set of tracks. Edited November 30, 20232 yr by mikeymad

December 2, 20232 yr Peter Gabriel - i/o Available everywhere Double CD, 12 tunes (the same in both discs) by different mixers. Just finished the first one, "the bright". Not bad, but IMHO more for hard core fans. Taking a break before playing the second.
December 4, 20232 yr Pitchfork's Top 100 songs of 2023 is here. There are some interesting choices up and down the list but I'm in 100% agreement with them on song #1. It is a stunner when you hear it for the first time. My favorite Lana song, easily. https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/best-songs-2023/
