What is spinning?

Out of touch 50 's guy on vacation (me). found a "top of the pops" show between poolside sunburning sessions. great schoolkid band called Son of Dork. They rocked. Couldn't have been more than 19 each. Man, if we were that good in HS in the early 70"s.........actually, we were never close to that good.Brought back good memories though.

Now spinning .. Grreenhouse - Yellow Jackets

Good one bobsticks. Let me know how you like them.

At the mo doing the rounds:

Tom Petty - Wildflowers

Enjoy a musical Sunday

Bernd

P.S. I think I will give the "The Last Waltz" an outing tonight. Thanks Mark111867.

No problem. Enjoy:)

...by Wynton Marsalis is what's spinning in an all-too-short break on a busy Monday.
The thing to know about htis disc is while it was recorded digitally, all musicians were in the same room (not in isolation booths). The results are pretty evident from the onset. There is that certain synergy between musicians that really cannot be captured via overdubbing.
Many will be familiar with the content of "Low Levee Moans" and the quality if his SACD offerings. This supercedes both. Despite gaining some popuarity with heavily orchestrated classics, make no mistake, this is a serious blues recording. Rapidly becoming one of my favorite redbook cds

I haven't spun tham yet but I stumbled upon a Sam Goody's in the DC area that's going out of business. All discs were 30% - 50% off. I picked up:

The Righteous Brothers Greatest Hits
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours DVD-A
Trey Anastasio - Shine Dual disc
Eagles - Hell Freezes Over dts dvd
Spyro Gyra - The Deep End - SACD
Spock's Beard - Octane

I actually hail from NY but was in DC for the weekend, to attend an Artist Confidential (Alan Parsons) taping at XM Radio. While there, Mrs Hawkeye dragged me to the Pentagon City Mall (I think that's the name)....and I'm glad she did. The Sam Goodys there is closing up shop soon and everything in the store is 30% - 50% off. Things are selling fast so hurry.

Thanks, I actually go there (Pentagon City Mall, not Sam Goody's) all the time, and was planning on going there at supper, so will check it out.

Wow, Alan Parsons, no schnitt! I envy you. Huge fan of his.

Yeah, it's always a rush to be able to talk with Parsons but Saturday night was a little extra special this time. I got to meet XM Sr. VP Lee (Mr. Laser Beam) Abrams, who of course can be heard at the beginning of the song, "Let's Talk About Me" on Parsons' 'Vulture Culture' album.

BTW, the taping Saturday was the first ever in 5.1 for XM. I guess they're getting ready to announce new generation of equipment for the home as well as the car, that will utilize surround technology.

Anyone else in the DC area -- I highly recommend going -- especially if you are in the market for music DVD's, anime soundtracks, or the new Scott Stapp album.

'cause that's what I saw a lot of. I got the King Crimson boxset, 21st Century Guide to...Volume Two, 1981-2003 for US$30, but that's about all I could find that I was interested in. They had Talking Heads' Brick for US$90, but I don't do Dual-Disc.

They also had Army of Darkness two disk "Boomstick" edition -- isn't that out of print?

Doing his best on the round spot is:

Roland Orzabal - Tomcats Screaming Outside

Strangley beautiful or beautifully strange I am not quiet sure.

Peace

Bernd

And now ready to take his round trip is:

Geoffrey Oryema - Exile.

A superb musician from Uganda and this one was produced by Brian Eno and recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studio. Released on the Real World label in 1990 # RW14.
Check it out for some beautiful music with meaningful words.

Peace

Bernd

It's been a bizarre and unsettling twenty-four hours, and so, currently spinning:

Einsturzende Neubauten--Zeichnungen des Patienten O.T.

Next up:

Laibach--WAT

Hello bobsticks, hope you're alright.

Here are some more germanic fatherland goodies to get you going:

DAF

or

Fehlfarben

or

Die toten Hosen

And to bring you down try:

Wolfgang Riechmann - Wunderbar

or

Mickie D's - Unicorn

or

Ashra - Correlations


Peace

Bernd

Thanks Bernd. Everything is O.K. I just received the next assignment at work, "the implementation of new operational guidelines". This is going to require ALOT of hours of babysitting, handholding,etc. I wouldn't mind the hours so much except that I'm not sold on the efficiency of the thing. Frustrating.
Anyway, midway through WAT I'd pretty much burned it all out.Catharsis through music and all that, you know. I rarely stay upset about things for too long as life is too short--and good music helps. I've found that if after two albums of the heavier stuff I haven't resolved most issues, then I'm just "wallowing" in it:)

Currently spinning is Mark Knofler's "The Ragpicker's Dream"

Thursday has become my new music day so I'm off to find some new offerings for the week ahead.
Cheers to all

I finally ordered Kino - Picture. Playing now...I like it.

Good to hear you're o.k.
Spooky though I just put on "Mark Knopfler's - Shangri"- La before I came on line. I do prefer "The Ragpickers Dream" though.
Well anyway the weekend starts here, my wife is at Crufts with three of our dogs and I have the whole evening to myself.
So have a good weekend one and all.

Peace

Bernd

Capturing the mood perfectly in a circular fashion is:

"Kula Shaker - K"

Peace

Bernd

Currently spinning:

Wynton Marsalis--the midnight Blues

and next up:
1) Lucia Micarelli-- Music from a Farther Room

2) Sade-- Lovers Rock

3) Thelonius Monk-- Monk

4) The Peter Malick Group-- New York City

5) Thelonius Monk Quartet wuth John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall

Perfect fare for a raining and bleak midwestern day.
Hey Bernd, I checked out the Waterboys via SBC musicLaunchcast; something off of " A Pagan Place". Good stuff. I can appreciate the varied instrumentation and the celtic influence. Top notch recommendation! Thanks.

I am glad you heard some Waterboys. A Pagan Place is the second album. Be prepared for a great musical and spiritual journey.

Peace

Bernd

yet another bleak midwestern morning...
and so, to facsimilate a decent environment the morning starts with Bob Marley and the Wailers on DVD-A
soon to be followed by:
1) Tord Gustavsen Trio-The Ground( I don't remember who made the recommendation but I stumbled across it the other day--a name you can't really forget )
2)Hilary Hahn--Elgar Violin Concerto
3)Maria Muldaur-Sweet Lovin' Ol' Soul

happy listening, one and all

Moving round and round is: "Stan Ridgway - Black Diamond"
A wonderful record.

Peace

Bitte schön! Although I'm only one of many Pinback fans in your midst. We've talked alot about that whole family of San Diego bands that sprang forth from Three Mile Pilot, the biggest being Black Heart Procession and Pinback, although from what I've heard they're teaming back up for another TMP record soon.

Helen Humes

On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Davey, since you put me onto "Pinback" you might want to try what's currently rotating here:

"Miracle Mile - Stories we could tell".

Thanks Bernd, and yeah, I like those guys. I've been trying to get ahold of their latest "Glow" for a decent price for the last few months to no avail. They never get a release in the States.

http://forums.audioreview.com/showth...100#post113100

Great. Glow is a really beautiful album. Unfortunatly they are ignored by most of the music press. There is however a website now. www.miraclemile.co.uk

Have a tuneful day

Bernd:16:

...currently spinning:

Roxy Music--Avalon on SACD- it's hard to believe this is the same recording session as the original crappy cd release. This may be the the greatest shining example of the value of good source material in my collection, regarding the superiority of the remastering on the latest issue.

Up next is Miles Davis' "'Round about Midnight"

JohnMichael, did you ever gat to check out any Weather Report?

The Hilary Hahn I have in my collection and I enjoy it very much. My question is the Maria Muldaur recording you mention, could you tell me more about it? I can not believe I missed something by Maria unless it is a compilation and I had the music on other albums. To answer the question in a later of your posts I have 3 Weather Report albums but I have not had a chance to listen to the Telarc recording you mentioned.

Now spinning: Jascha Heifetz "Jean Sibelius' Violin Concerto in D Minor"

Yes, young Ms. Hahn is quite something. Some have thrown out the old "technique versus feeling" accusation but she brings enough of everything to the table for my liking.
As for the Maria Muldaur, the jacket reads:

Maria Muldaur's homage to the blues
women who inspired her continues with this follow-up
to the 2002 Grammy Award nominated 'Richland Woman
Blues'.With old friends and guests who are fellow 'keepers
of the flame' Maria has created another masterpiece.

The copyright date on the cd is 2005. Some of the 'fellow keepers of the flame' include Steve James, Suzy Thompson, Dave Mathews,Del Ray and Taj Mahal.

It's weekend! And starting off on the circular spot are: The Tears - Here come the Tears.

Have good one

Bernd

Thanks, you may say so. Couldn't agree more. Damn fine album.
But now it's Saturday and I am kicking off with something a bit more mellow:

"Martin Stephenson and the Daintees - Boat to Bolivia".

Absolute bliss.

Peace

Bernd:16:

mornings flying by....listened to...

Sex Pistols: Mini LP
Ramones: Rocket to Russia
Ramones: End of the Century
999

and the Clash's Back Market Clash is next...

Burning some vinyl to CD for getting out and about with some friends later on. Doubt I'll have time to do any more than those today.

Following on the round table: "Echo and the Bunnymen - Evergreen".

Peace

Bernd

Jethro Tull

Aqualung Live

Just picked this one up and it is a very interesting recording so far. Artist royalties are donated to the homeless.

...and now spinning: Squirrel Nut Zippers' "HOT"

to be followed by: "The Rare Delight of You"-John Pizzarelli w/the George Shearling Quintet and "In Full Swing" -Mark O'Connor

Good day to everyone and enjoy

Hello all,

Perfect Sunday morning kick back and enjoy life tunes:

"Carmel - Everybody's got a little Soul."

Enjoy yours
