August 18, 20241 yr Band-Maid, World Domination Killing Joke, MMXII Tokyo Gegegay, Jyuuyonsai Karano Ongaku
August 20, 20241 yr Ladies Of The Canyon by Joni Mitchell (1970) https://album.link/i/1492312524 Example: ^^ not one of the hits off this album, but I really like this one. Not that Woodstock isn't awesome. This is a really good album, not great but the highlights are very high.
August 22, 20241 yr Blackstar by David Bowie (2016) https://album.link/i/1676286487 Example: It was so easy to overlook that this was the legendary Bowie, in his late 60's, dying of cancer. I got lost very quickly in it just being a really good album. Thanks David.
August 24, 20241 yr Cocteau Twins with Harold Budd - The Moon And The Melodies. 24-bit 2024 remaster....mmmmmmm Edited August 24, 20241 yr by skullguise
August 25, 20241 yr 1. The Amazing Pudding (Early name for Atom Heart Mother) - 0:53 2. Cymbaline - 17:31 3. Grantchester Meadows - 26:11 4. Green Is The Colour - 33:46 5. Careful With That Axe, Eugene - 37:16 6. Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun - 46:26 7. Astronomy Domine - 59:18
August 25, 20241 yr Nice, thanks! As an PF fan of their earliest music plus a couple post-Meddle albums, my only dislike is the the intro to Astronomy Domine (one of my all-time favorites). The above performance, and also on Umma Gumma, has what I call the "shaky keyboard" start. I still like the original Syd Barrett-era intro. In later years, David Gilmour would do the original intro style when he played this. Nit-picking for sure, but isn't that what the deepest (most OCD 🤣) fans do?
August 25, 20241 yr The soundtrack that I didn't know I needed. Albert Brooks: Defending My Life (Original Documentary Soundtrack) by Marc Shaiman (2024) https://album.link/i/1762914489 Exmaple: Most of it is a variation of this ^^ I'm fine with that. Works well while I am cooking... :}
August 26, 20241 yr Ryo Kawasaki - Juice And I’ve got a new favorite record store https://tunnelrecordssf.com
August 26, 20241 yr True by Jon Anderson (2024) https://album.link/i/1747342740 Example: Released on Friday. At first I was curious what it was. As a fan I was afraid it was be a 79 (yes he is 79) year old croaking through songs. It was far from that. Jon is in full voice, mature voice, but lovely. The tunes were very engaging. The Band Geeks, pretty much are Yes fans that are really good musicians. And they seem to be touring..
August 27, 20241 yr From St Marks in SF. I was not familiar with Ana's work, seeming to come out of nowhere. Turns out a prodigy and recorded in the 90's and early 2000s. And then just recently a PSAudio recording - for $58! Ouch. I will live with the YT compression for now. Nice selection and recording, and I liked Ana's performance.
August 28, 20241 yr Celebration, Volume 1 by Wayne Shorter (2024) https://album.link/i/1752553726 Example: "Celebration, Volume 1 is the first in a series of releases that saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter curated from archival material before his passing in 2023. The album features his long-running band—Panamanian pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci, and drummer Brian Blade—in a live 2014 performance recorded at the Stockholm Concert Hall in Sweden." Nice to have the first in a series of good recordings of the late Wayne. This one features a lot of the Zero Gravity works. Good stuff.
August 28, 20241 yr Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Wild God. Jury still out after one listen through, but it's certainly got that majesty that he's delivered before. A little more positive vibes as well. Will need some more plays to see how it catches on, but I'd say very good so far.
August 29, 20241 yr The Crow - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack It's exactly like I remember... Edited August 29, 20241 yr by HiWire
August 29, 20241 yr Villa-Lobos's concertos and chamber works played by the great cuban guitarist, Manuel Barrueco. Qobuz 24/96. What's not to love?
August 31, 20241 yr Bedouine - s/t Nice easy pop folk, nice sound without becoming too boring. Love her voice! This one is in my Roon library, her other stuff seems good as well. Edited August 31, 20241 yr by skullguise
September 1, 20241 yr Emmet Cohen - Vibe Provider Great straight ahead jazz. This guy is so good that even my wife says so Available almost anywhere and Qobuz too.
