    Whattup...



    Looks like there's been some superlative sounds goin' down 'round here...very nice...
    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    Hey hey, old sport...life has been challenging but I'm through the tunnel and out into the light. Thanks for the well wishing for the holidays and, of course, they're returned in full form...'Tis definitely a season for gratitude...

    By the by, this lil' beaut right here is an early Christmas present to myself and is outstanding in both sonics and performance:

    I'm having a hard time thinking of a better set than this. Up At Mintons? Perhaps, but this sucker really, really smokes.

    ...cool cover too. My classical collection is woefully wanting. Must work on that in the coming year.

    wow! is this ever gorgeous...like a folky Arthur Russell playing songs he wrote after listening to a lot of Palace and Fairport Convention or something. or just his own thing I guess...the audiophile-ness is high on the vinyl I picked up too, just a lovely recording with some kick-a*s songs, lyrics, and vocals (contributions from Beth Orton and Nico Muhly..).
    I'm adding it as a last minute addition to my 2010 Best Of List I think...

    a link to his site w/ the album streaming...

    Been a while

    I've been on a Dionne Warwick/Burt Bacharach jag as of late.

    "Walk on By - The Definitive Dionne Warwick Collection"

    "The Look of Love - The Burt Bacharach Collection"

    The Dionne Disk contains some rare Dionne Versions of songs not done before. like her version of "Wishin' and Hopin" which Dusty copped note for note much to Dionne's chagrin. The two never got along well. The Bacharach Collection has educated me immensely. Who knew he wroten songs for acts as varied as The Drifters, Gene Pitney and the Stylistics!!!???? "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"???? Are you chittin' me?!!???? Great 3 disk set.

    Today is vinyl day -

    So far it has been -

    The Unicorns - Who will cut our hair when we are gone

    Calexico - Hot Rail

    Sufjan Steven - The Age

    All fantastic albums and all great to have and play on a turntable!

    I've been using the Ascend Acoustic Sierra-1 speakers for the past little while - they are pretty nice speakers for $800 - review coming soon. Granted then are being run off $800 Interconnects, a $3250 Aaron Amp and $800 speaker cables.

    This thread needs something a little heavier...


    Big Black: Racer X

    The first Big Black record I happened into and still my favorite. Not sure if it is the best or if its discordant squalling guitars, industrial rhythms and screeching vocals smacked me around good and subsequent things I heard from them just didn't have the same initial impact. Either way, I really pretty much just play this one when I wanna hear Big Black. I've spent a bit of time with other releases and enjoy them, but this is the slab that always pulls me back.

    Hadn't heard Racer X before but tried it out. Good stuff. An excellent jump start to a morning washed down with strong coffee. Really liked the drum and bass sound. Wish I'd known about them in the 80's. Coulda spared me a lot of time listening to Ratt and the likes.

    But, I'm sad to say I went from heavy to mind-numbingly soft.. :-)
