What is spinning?

[Luvin Da Blues]

Ya know that feeling when you and your special person go to a favorite restaurant (or insert any other place at will) that you haven't been to in a lot of years and have the greatest time?

That's how I felt after finally getting around to spinning this...

[jasn]

Shearwater: Rooks Good stuff, deserving many listens.

Back to back to back to back on a rainy Friday night...

NP:

Nick Cave & the bad seeds - Dig!!! Lazarus DIG!!!

Keep them spinning y'all
Bert.

[bobsticks]

Hey Bert, I thought that jim clark and I were the only ones that had that album. Good stuff.

NP:Sharon Jones & the Dep Kings' 100 Days, 100 Nights

Upon pushing play I instantly recognised this as having been one of the favorites off of Nobody's 2007 YEC. Well, I'm glad to report that the whole frikken' album is great. For fans of Amy Winehouse, come on over to the light. Sharon is the real thing...better songs, better sonics and won't barf on ya. If Amy had half this amount of talent she wouldn't have to smoke crack.

It is a great album and spinning at 33 1/3 revolutions right now.

Perhaps some of you have heard Trent Reznor's newest release. No, not Ghost, but his collaboration with slam poet Saul Williams improbably titled The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust.The results? Caustic, fractious, funky and inciteful.

With hearts of poets and souls of technopunks the two combine sounds and perspectives for, IMO, one of the freshest and most thought-provoking albums in some time.

I picked that up about 2 weeks and go, my strong impression was that it's really different from other SW that I'm used to. Defintely one of the freshest MC around.

Here's what I've been listening to:

Machines grinding metal and Japanese coordinators screaming. All I can say is Hai! Hai! Hai! Hai! Looks like I'll hit another 70+ hours this week. Better get back to work....

....and I'm spinning the 6 vol set of Louisiana Swamp Blues. If ya know your blues, ya know that swamp blues is a bit lighter fair than say the dreary Chicago blues. Fabulous artists such as Clarence Edwards, Tabby Thomas, Oscar 'Harp' Davis, Henry Gray, Larry Garner, Cora Jefferson and one of my all time favs Silas Hogan (LDB drops to his knees and takes a bow towards the Shrine of Silas) are featured. I can't seem to load all the art work, oh well.

BTW, I have reduced this 6 Cd set down to 2 Cds (my picks), If anyone is interested in copies drop me a PM.

The Clash: Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg

I'm not usually much for bootlegs or unreleased/demo kinda stuff, but I'm really digging this. It's a demo version of Combat Rock that was floating around when it was intended to be a more extended 2 LP set with a much more laid back vibe and lots of heavy dub overtones. There's about 4-5 songs not on the official Combat Rock (all but one of which has been released somewhere by now in some version or another) and pretty much everything is remixed. The real slow stuff off side two of Combat Rock isn't quite so sparse here with extra sound effects and instrumentation filling out some of them and the more rockin' side one tracks are often slowed down here. As a whole it sounds much more like what you would expect to have followed Sandinista than what was eventually released.

I read Mick Jones mixed this version before songs were dropped and everything was remixed for a tighter more traditional rock feel for most songs. The sound quality on the version floating around is pretty good for a boot, but it was originally taken from cassette so not exactly hi-fi. I'd really love to see this whole mix given a proper release. The reason I'm not usually one for bootlegs and demos is that usually they seem to me lesser material and would have done well to stay in the vault. But, in this case, I personally think this version surpasses the released version by a good margin.

Always a classic; never boring!

Got this for my birthday and have been spinning it this morning. What a superb collection of music including the sublime 'Song for Athene ' along with the World Premiere of ' Prayer of the Heart ' featuring Bjork. The interview section of disc two is rather special, full of interesting stories. John Tavener is a gentle soul and comes across as an egoless human being. This two disc set comes in a slip-clase and full 68 page booklet. This music moved me... truly beautiful.

This came recommended to me by a friend and I'll pass it on.
This Album has all the qualities of the original Ska sound with an updated twist. The Majority of the tracks are original material written by the Dualers with the exception of 2 cover version which are fantastically done. This is an infectious upbeat album and if you like original Ska with a hint of Bob Marley and the Wailers thrown in then this could be for you.

King Crimson - Lizard

Been awhile since my ears have been turned toward KC. Golly, those guys were SO good! Hopefully, I will be gainfully employed and able to afford tickets when Adrian and the crew head this way....

Thanks for the "Lizard", BTW. Never heard it before, but from the snippets I have listened to since your posting, it sounds truly nice and a real treat for us "old souls" who still have a fondness for the Prog-Rock era.

Mostly Autumn - Storms Over London Town

Live at the London Astoria; Saturday, June 4, 2005.

I was checking out some of Mostly Autumn, their stuff is pretty pricey imports. I found a couple older albums on Amazon that had samples, I favored one called Inspired By The Lord, or something like that. Have you heard that one?

Music Inspired By The Lord Of The Rings is what you found and yes I've heard that, and I own it. Unfortunately, the U.S. dollar doesn't fair well these days abroad. Have you checked CD Universe? They have a limited selection of Mostly Autumn. I've been a fan for years and cannot understand why they never made a difference in the U.S.. I have every studio album but the live stuff is only available through their official website.
