What is spinning?

Brightblack Morning Light

Laid back, droning, mellow, bluesy, meloncholy...add your own next adjective.

Listening to it for the first time right now and diggig it a lot. Grabbed it after hearing this MP3 of Everybody New at the Matador site.

I suspect the album will do well on the strength of the singles, and it's a very good but not earth-shattering rec.

I picked that up a couple of days ago also. I've only listened to the first half so far and it just wasn't as good as I had hoped. She has a beautiful voice. But musically, the songs are just weak. The two songs that I heard on SNL were by far the best tracks on the first half. I'll have to spin the rest of it this weekend, but given your comments along with what I've heard so far, I don't have high hopes. It'll make for good background music when the in-laws come over though.

I went CD shopping yesterday and picked up two new (to me) Beatles CDs...Revolver and Abby Road. I also picked up the new Scissor Sisters. I'm kicking off this morning with Revolver. I can't believe that I got away with ignoring The Beatles for so long.

Well I think you diagnosed the malady, FA. Beautiful voice but the actual song construction is kind of poor, or at least hackneyed. Unfortunately, she is listed as a primary songwriter though one hopes she is more of a lyricist and the future will bring better musicians into the fold. Still, I've heard often worse.

Is that the chick that was on Saturday Night Live? I was flipping channels and stopped on her and was really wanting to like her, but it just didn't quite get there for me. I was really happy to hear an R&B singer that didn't just resort to vocal gymnastics for once these days, but the songs were just kinda bland. It did make me curious what else she had going for her since she did have a nice voice and seemed capable of doing something quite good.

Do yourself a favour and wait for the reviews of her 2nd CD. Once people discover who she is, maybe she'll get offers to record some better songs, by more talented writers.

ah crap, after hearing that track, i want that cd too, how's the rest of the cd?? everybody new was great.

I just finished listening to the full Corinne Bailey Rae disk. It's very disappointing.

Now spinning is the new Scissor Sisters disk, Ta-Dah. Every proggy bone in my body tells me that I should hate this stuff, but for some unexplainable reason, I like it...a lot. Go figger.

If you liked that, I think you'd like the rest of it...similar mood.

That track sold me and I wasn't disappointed.

**Dusty Chalk** · 10-13-2006, 02:12 PM

I dug that track, too.

**jrhymeammo** · 10-13-2006, 02:21 PM

Nothing obscure. You can find this copy almost anywhere, and that is a good thing for those who love big band like jazz

Jimmy Smith - The Cat

For those of you using dial-up connection. Are you guys having hard time loading the page due to images of album covers?

I think I'll check out this track you all have been talking about. If it's good, If it's good I may pick it up when I got to a store tonight.

Have a great weekend to all.

**jrhymeammo** · 10-13-2006, 03:05 PM

Sonny Stitt - NOW!
Great mono recording in near mint condition/playback.

He's peobably my favorite sax-blower, but I only have about 3 records on him. Record store here I come.

Zion I & Grouch - Heroes in the City of Dope

Just got this album today.
This album is really good. Grouch has always been my favorite from the Living Legend, and I've been following Zion I for years. It's like they furfill mhy wish and teamed up in a studio.

I cant wait to go see them on 28th.

Peace

Kimmie Rhodes: Man in the Moon. For anyone who likes Texas country/rockabilly etc. it just don't get much better than this.

Bought this at least VG quality record the other day for 10 bucks. It must be rare, because although I can find mentions of it all over the net, I can't find anyone selling it, nor a picture of the album for me to attach here.

queens of the stone age - Lullabies to paralyze,

on cd, and soon, i will have it on vinyl.

**bobsticks** · 10-15-2006, 08:48 AM

Before the chicks, before the marching bands there was the blues...Fleetwood Mac'sShrine '69. This was the Spenser/Kirwan era and way before the polish...good blues fare for an overcast afternoon.

Rarely do I have time to spin an album in the morning, but this morning I got up a little early, put on some coffee and walked the dog out to get the paper. The wind was blowing. It was warm and humid and dark, ominous clouds were crossing the sky. A few big rain drops were being blown almost horizontally. It looked and felt like hurricane weather. I went back inside and warmed up the gear, sat down at the computer to check the weather and saw pics of a huge front moving W to E. I put on In the Reins, the Iron & Wine/Calexico EP, and continued checking the weather but by the second track I moved to my listening chair. I sat back and listened to the whole thing while staring out the window.

**jrhymeammo** · 10-19-2006, 01:27 PM

I enjoyed Coltrane for the very first time today. I still cant understand why he never thrilled me, but not today. Good Stuff
Only gripe is that this 2LP set is one of those with side A&D on disc 1, and Side B&C on disc2. I dont get it....

John Coltrane -The Other Village Vanguard Tapes.

Kyoto Jazz Massive - 10th Anniversary

Remixing nujazz practitioners extraordinaires! Very much in the same vein as Jazzanova. Great stuff if nujazz is your thing.

**bobsticks** · 10-20-2006, 05:48 AM

NS: Mighty Sam McClean~Sweet Dreams with Barry Seelen kickin' it on the Hammond b-3. A great Telarc recording, highly recommended if you have the means...

Cheers
