If you've only got time for one, that's an excellent choice.

I cut out early today and spent some quality time with NIN~Year Zero. I hope this gets the same kind of quality, multi-channel treatment that Downward Spiral got.

Forgot my wallet at work 2 days in a row...

I've been meaning to get a copy of Year Zero since I read Kex's thread.

Lately I've been enjoying music I didnt care for in a past. Good thing I have alot of crappy music.

NP: Saint Germain - Cafe.
I used to hate this album, but not tonight. I dont recommend this album for anyone, but enjoying it quite a bit tonight.

JRA

Listened to the new NIN.
Much props to Kex for provinding the info. If it wasnt for that thread, I probably wouldnt have know it this early. Got the last copy from CC. Guess they only had about 10 +/- in stock.. Well whotta hell buys this music considering their main audience...
Enjoyed it quite a bit.

made a suprisingly smooth transition to:

Frank Kimbrough - Play

Highly recommned it for those who love good ol' Jazz with a modern lifestyle.

Peace.

I'm digging the new Nine Inch Nails too. I've long been of the opinoin that they've been going downhill since Pretty Hate Machine debuted. But, this one is really sounding good to me. It's got more than just dostortion and sheets of noise going for it. Good songs and good beats beneath it all.

Nick of time,DVD-A.

Went to a charity shop on saturday to see if I could find another little present for my wifes birthday (today). It was pretty busy and there in the corner was a taped up box in the shape of a record. Written on it was Vinyl. That's it.
I asked "How much"?
Wait for it. £ 1. Yeah.
On opening up I had 22 Lps all still wrapped and brand spanking new. Mainly classical. But by pure coincidence, after my recent discovery of Charlie Byrd, a recording by him. Blues Sonata.

Anyway here is what I have listened to so far:

"Charlie Byrd - Blues Sonata" What a fun record and a wonderful recording.

"J.S.Bach - Brandenburgische Konzerte 1-6 by the English Chamber Orchestra/Benjamin Britten. Like this very much.

"Mozart - Symphonien Nos. 35-41 - Berliner Philarmoniker/Karl Boehm. And this.

Ironic really, just as Feanor did post his classical list and my appetite got wetted I came across this.
I just went back to the shop and gave them another £10.00, would have felt really guilty otherwise.

Have a good week one and all.

Peace

Great score there B,

I'd also scored some cheap and minty records. Got 11(some still sealed) albums from my friend's dad for a $1 a piece.
Sinatra, Aretha, Ellignton, Otis, Wilson Picket, and other great stuff..

I particulary enjoyed poppin'

Rick Wakeman - Country Airs piano solos.

Far too much music and too little time. Having a new record store on the way home from work is way too convenient for using the avoidance of road-rage feuled rush hour incidents as justification for shopping. Combine that with a lovely package of parting gifts from across the Atlantic (thank you dogcatcher B) and it's been quite a day.

Moving round and round has been some great stuff by Sarah Vaughn and the Alex Cuba Band, as well as repeat listens to NIN and the new Benny Benassi. As evening falls, I'm mellowing out to an old favorite--Yo Yo Ma's Soul of the Tango. Lush.

Random thought (and I'm already putting on my flame suit) but am I the only one who thinks Willie Nile's Beautiful Wreck Of The World is a significantly better album than Streets of New York??


Cheers to all

Decided to take a different route today,

Hank Snow - When Tragedy Struck

http://www.luma-electronic.cz/lp/s/S...hentragedy.jpg

Since this is an original pressin' it sounds a bit noisier than I normally would prefer. I probably should've listened to the entire thing before I bought it, but after 10 seconds of listening I had to bring this baby home. Noisy or not, this album was incredible.. I imagine a CD version would sound quite thin. This is exactly what vinyl is all about.
I will be picking up another title for sure.

NP: Basie in London. Got this mint Japanesephile pressing at a local shop for not very much. Kinda sad I'm going to bed right after this.

Peace to all,

JRA

Can someone please ban this ericjames guy? all he does is posting pics of sick dudes doing things with other sick dudes...

anyways.

since it all sounds so good on the new marantz,
here's a quick list of what I played the past 2 days:

Norah Jones - Not too late
Ahmad Jamal - the essence part 2
bossacucanova - uma batida diferente
Diana Krall - The girl in the other room
Miles Davis - Kind of blue
George Benson - Standing together
and some others...
It all sounds really good, if this already made such a big change, then what would a new amp do :ihih:

I'm spinning nothing at the moment, but i think BB king will change that in a few moments :)

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

.....I brushed up on some of James' back catalogue for my gig tomorrow night.:)

Stutter
Gold Mother
Seven
Laid
Pleased to meet you

All sounding mighty good.

Peace

:16:

P.S. Bert I am pleased the new CDP sounds great.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Damn The Torpedoes

Tom Petty my never be cutting edge, cool, hip or whatever, but he's made some damn fine records. And, he did have a little edge in his early days that helped him stick out of the crowd. This one reminds me of something mentioned on the CCR thread, short sweet, get in and get out, leave 'em wanting more. Refugee, Here Comes My Girl and Don't Do Me Like That make up a third of this thing, and while American Girl may still be my favorite Tom Petty song, this is my favorite of his albums.

more things that are unusual for me:
Just played:

Ophélie Gaillard - J.S. Bach Suites a Vioncello Solo senza Basso

if only all the recordings were as good as this one...

That was the last one for today (well, kindof, OK no, Nat King cole is doing his thing right now too) but anyways, I'm off for 2 (and a half) days

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

....rise on this beautiful morning. Not been to bed yet after last night. Listening to:

"James - Laid" and "Millionaires"

strong black coffee and letting the B.O.T. come up. Very magical. But last night.......:6:

.......Phenomenal, if I hadnt seen it with my own eyes would not have believed it.

Marching band intro to "Come Home", new songs back to back, Tim writhing on his back during "Johnny Yen", ending the night with a sweat-soaked "How Was It For You". The new songs are a welcome return to form even 'Upside Downside' with the 'lyrics just written last night.

Superb versions of "Laid" and "Waltzing Along" which took the roof off, fantastic!

They looked like as if they were as pleased as us to be back. Outstanding gig.:)
I moved like a young one, but will suffer later I am sure.:ciappa:

Have a great sunday.

Peace

This is what I get for hangin' out with my Rush-fan friends :rolleyes:

NP:

Got over 20 albums I need to spin. They are still sitting inside of bags. I've been staying away from them for some reason.

I enjoyed Lauryn Hill - Unplugged 2.0 SACD

I think we need more Unplugged on SACD....The Cranberries? I would love that.

JRA

Spending an hour with the Stones at the Memory Hotel--Black and Blue
Still one of my top 5 Stones albums.

bill

Most of the time i just despise Sony's early line of SACD circa 200-2001 (Mahler 1 anyone? Yech) but this bad boy has a special place in my heart. Wonderful imaging with a spectacular shrillness form to brass greats, Miles Davis' Round About Midnight just fits for this night and time.

I decided to get Latino for a change...so I popped in Olga Tañón's Te Acordarás De Mi from 1998, which is probably one of her average albums. It has some really great tracks like the opener Tu Amor and Heilo Y Fuego, which are some sizzling tracks...the rest of the album is a mixture of mostly ballads that I can take or leave. Every once in awhile I get into these Latino moods because of the incredible rythyms and brass. My wife is Puerto Rican so we have a fairly decent collection of Latino music, another CD I ended up playing a bit today was Maná's Eclipse, which is a really terrific album beginning to end.

All this talk about RUSH got me to pull it out of my closet... well I keep all of my music in a closet. No seriously, I do.

This album still isnt making me feel so good, if you catch my drift. Bit it's not nausiating so will keep it spinning.
I'm dedicating this day for spinning some massive amount of wax.

JRA

sorry for the delay of the marantz review, it should be finished this weekend, or early next week...

anyways...
NP:
Diana Krall - When I look in your eyes
Stevie Ray Vaughan - greatest hits 'volume 2'
and
Ladysmith Black Mambazo - Shaka Zulu

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

I've been enjoying some great tunes. Especially this one:

Kinda Jazzy, Kinda Funky Vol. 2

http://www.jazzdepot.com/images/covers/6014.jpg

what do you know, she's slightly nipped. How disgusting.

Snatched this SACD for $5.99 at a local shop along with others. Lots of B-3. Gotta love it.

JRA

As a follow-up to the "Recent Purchases" thread I would have to say that my two favorite discs out of this week's acquisitions are the two with the least "Hi-Fi" recording techniques.

I really enjoyed a couple of spins of the Amy Winehouse affair--great R&B sensibilities but her engineer really needs to stop trying to match her drink for drink.

Spinning now and probably a perennial favorite of the future is Coleman Hawkins' The Hawk Relaxes. Man, what a fun spin. For those of you offput by the oft treble harsh characteristics of RVG Remasters--fear not. Silky smooth (I daren't say "analog" but I thought it) with the dynamic intesity of Saxophone Colossus and the modular moodiness of Kind of Blue. Yeah there's tape hiss but so what?...this is music.

Chances are that I'll use Yo La Tengo's Prisoner of Love to segue into the evening hours.Peace.

The BoDeans--Live from the Pabst
--Joe,Dirt,Car
Gotta love the BoDeans,love to see them live.
