What is spinning?

No, I have not heard the Bell and Meyer, but you can bet I'll keep an eye out on my next foray into the retail world. Big fan though not a big collector of Squirrelnuts--good instrumentation, fun sounds, and often macabre subject matter. What's not to love?I'm sure you would agre that they serve as an excellent segue piece from one genre to the next.
Well, Bernd, it does seem as though there are many committed to the music and not jus the pursuit of gear. I for one, would like to thank everyone that's been part of this as everyday I get strong suggestions for titles and artists I would not find if left to my own devices.
Oh yes, and now spinning:
"Berloiz's Symphonie Fantastique"--Charles Munch and BSO
And next up..."The London Concert"--Wynton Marsalis and the English Chamber Orchestra
Cheers to all

I'll second that. And a thank you from me also for some great suggestions. As Dave918 said-"It's all about the music."

And going round on it's first outing is: "Van Morrison - Pay the Devil".

I likey very much

Peace

Bernd

And changing the mood altoghether although not the revolution speed are:

"Manic Street Preachers - Everything must go"

Peace

I've heard mixed reviews on Van's latest Bernd, caused me to hesitate pulling the trigger on it. But if you likey, I need to fire away! :)

-dave

Mind- only had one listen of the Van disc. But I still likey.

Some beautiful reflective sounds are hitting my lobes and soul right now. Provided by:

"Natalie Merchant - Motherland". Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bliss.

Take it easy

Bliss is right! Love to listen to Natalie!

Almost lunch time, so time for some tunes. Let's see, looks like Over the Rhine ~ Ohio and Deadman ~ Our Eternal Ghosts are both on the menu today. Can't face the afternoon hungry, so I believe I'll have both!

Happy tunes!
-dave

Break time! I think I’ll have a little Jeffery Foucault ~ Miles from the Lighting accompanied by an ice cold Starbucks DoubleShot.

Dark and somber tunes with double shot of espresso - yeah, that will get me through the rest of the day.

-dave

Starting off with a disk I normally reserve for evening listening, but I'm craving something smooth this morning.

Nora Jones ~ Feels Like Home

Wonderful, simply wonderful :yesnod:

-dave

Morning Dave,

Good choice. Have you heard the "Little Willies" disc yet? Also very beautiful.

I will give "Martin Stephenson - Wheel of Fortune" a spin.

Have a good one.

Oh yes Bernd, been playing the heck out of the Little Willies disk. Somehow managed to leave that one off my heavy rotation list this morning. I must be losing it!

Went with another really good vocalist for the ride to work this morning - Katie Melua ~ Call of the Search

-dave

It's cold.
And it's s@#!ting from the sky.
Schools, businesses, airports all shut down due to white-out conditions.
Unacceptable.

Now spinning: Pink Floyd-"A Momentary Lapse of Reason"

...but lined up for the changer:
1) Lightnin' Hopkins-'Broken Hearted Blues'
2) Al Jarreau-'Accentuate the Positive'
3) Charles Mingus-'Mingus Ah Um'
4) Jeff Golub-'Soul Sessions'
5) Larry Carlton-'Sapphire Blue"

"I must be losing it! - Quote"

Don't worry Dave, it's good to loose it now and then. Just pulled a disc I haven't listen to for a good 12 months. WHY NOT ??????? i dont know.:confused5:

"Anne McCue - Roll"

Loving it.

Hi bobsticks,

Man oh man, does that feel like the longest winter or not ?
It is the first day of spring and we have northern winds, grey sky and 0Celsius. I am fed up with that. No snow though thank god.

On the round spot I will follow "Anne McCue - Roll" with "Martin Stephenson - Wheel of Fortune" a glorious album and a singer/songwriter of outstanding ability. www.daintees.com

Keep warm

Bernd:6:

I really shouldn't compain about overall conditions this year as it has been a moderate though unpredictable season here. That said, the up-and-down cycle has a lot of people's systems worn down, my own included. And the conditions we currently face came out of nowhere. It's not an exageration to say that you can't see twenty feet in front of you right now. Here's wishing us both warmer days soon.

I also want to send thanks to the 'Daves' and Forever Autumn for the Porcupine Tree rec.
I grabbed the DVDA of 'In Absentia' the other night and it is outstanding. Specifically, I appreciate the engaging lyrical content, but moreover the instrumentation. Normally my apprehension with this genre of music derives from the tone and attack of the guitars, but this definately confounded expectations. Good stuff. Thanks all.

(doin' it to it right now--Mingus' 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat")

So far, color me impressed. Will have to devote some time later this evening.

My pleasure bobsticks. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

Well it sounded superb yesterday. So you should have a good start.
The sun is out for the first time in ages (still cold though) and I will start the day with:

"Toni Childs - Union" and follow that with "Miracle Mile - Glow". Perfect me thinks.

Have a good one

Bernd:16:

The B.O.T. is out again, at last. And I will start the day with:

"Ron Sexsmith - Retriever".

Peace

Bernd:16:

What is this, the third or fourth day of spring, right? Well its snowing this morning, about an inch or so on the ground so far. This after having temps approaching 90 degrees a week ago. Hot coffee and the warm sounds of A Girl Called Eddy ~ S/T will be needed to get started this am.

-dave

Sorry to hear about the snow, Dave. Here the sun is still out and I will celebrate with a rotation of:

"Buena Vista Social Club" real uplifting sunshine music.

Hope all is well

Peace

Nice Bernd. The similar sounding and always loveable Richard Davies Telegraph tickling my ears this morning. Think he's originally from western Australia as opposed to Sexsmith's Toronto base, but he has a bit of British invasion ala the Kinks in his sound. Very cool.

Don't know him. Will check it out, thanks. One of my favourites is also from Australia - Jimmy Little and his album "Messenger" is just pure bliss.

Anyway going round at the moment is:

"Eve Selis - Nothing but the Truth".

Peace
