What is spinning?

[nobody]

Honestly never got into Knopfler, even though I do like the first Dire Straits record and was playing it not long ago. But, I love Chet Atkins and should probably check that out.

Oh...and if you wanna sample that Grace Jones, click the pic.

[02audionoob]

Yeah, same here....Still gotta copy of Nightclubbing around heah somewheah....

Hey, Noob, whaddya think, here?

Speaking of Chet...I think I posted his album with Jerry Reed Me and Jerry in this thread somewhere. Very cool. As for Mark and Chet, I guess I neeed to track that one down. And spinning off on another tangent, I like All the Road Running with Mark and Emmylou. And then Emmylou...am I going to get around to Kevin Bacon before long?

"Right Now". Great tune.

Take a listen to Mark's 2000 offering of "Sailing to Philadelphia". Duets with Van Morrison and James Taylor. Mellow yes, but I like it to.

The Grouch - They don't have this.

Thanks for the suggestion. Kinda reminds me a a sludgier Kills on first listen. Will be checking it out more for sure.

I'm playing this right now...


Melodium: Lullabies for Adults

Folktronica, IDM, whatever you wanna call it. Blend of acoustic and electronic sounds, ultra laid back, sparse. Reminds me of the first Mum album but even more mellow. Really good if you're into this kinda ****.

This looks interesting. I'll have to check this out over the weekend. Someone apparently dropped off their garage rock/punk CDs at Goodwill and I was the happy beneficiary of most of them. Here's an example of what I picked up and have been listening to:


The Nomads - Powerstrip

I'm still sinking my teeth into this one, but after seeing them a bunch on the Garageland blog, I had to pick this one up. It's pretty good on first listen, and definitely influenced by 60s garage rock.

[jrhymeammo]

nobody,
If you havent't already, be sure to grab a copy of this LP.
You will absolutely love this album, and I certainly can't get enough of it.

Highly recommended for anyone who can listen to hip-hop and R&B.

[nobody]

Will have to check that out. Today, I'm listening to this...


Used Kids: Yeah No

Band is comprised of guys from the Modern Machines and the Erggs, but doesn't really sound a ton like either. Probably closer the Modern Machines. Pretty straight ahead rock stuff for the most part. A little sloppy, catchy in spots and pretty good. I saw 'em play early this summer and grabbed a 7". Seems they are giving the full length away with free downloads for now until the official release comes out. Click the cover if you wanna listen.

In the early seventies, my grandmother sold the house at the beach. She spent the remainder of her years traveling and enjoying life. On one trip, she went out west, towards San Francisco, Vancouver and points in between. When she returned, she gave me a Folkways LP from the Smithsonian Institution: a collection of Navajo and other Native American music. This collection is a far departure from the soothing and easy-on-the-ears tunes of the likes of Kater and others; the music is raw, and visceral and very personal.

The Folkways Recordings started in 1948, when Moses Asche (1905-1986) and Marian Distler (1919-1964) set out to record authentic music throughout the world, making themselves years ahead of their time in opening listeners to World Music. The tradition continues and is exemplified by this wonderful compendium: The Silk Road: A Musical Caravan. This recording includes music from all along the route: China, Iran, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, etc. The music is recorded quite beautifully and is a true tapestry that will fill you with all the scents, scenes and sounds that make that part of the world truly wonderful and awe inspiring.

Awesome acoustic blues. A throw back to the early stuff.

First I ever heard of Kevin was when he was the opening act for Bonnie Raitt. He was very good and got a great response from the crowd.

He does some great cover work on his Peace....Back By Popular Demand Album.

I like KM quite a bit. He came here for the Keep it Simple tour. Very pleasant, quite musical and flexible in voice, performance, etc. He was a real class act and I'd like to see him again!

We're agreeing way too much lately my friend. The only one I don't have is his "Suitcase" album although I did get 'Rita' from our fine friend Sticks, on a comp.

Been listening to the reissue of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. I'm not a huge Neil Young fan, but I've always like this album a lot. The reissue, according to the insert was remastered from the original analog 'Because sound matters'. The CD is also HDCD but I haven't tried it out on my HDCD player yet. The sound is improved over my original release CD, most obviously louder...er...dynamic. But also very obvious is that the highs sing out and are more resolved. My first thought was, 'whoa, this sounds bright.' It does do the music justice though. There's great guitar here and the remaster brings that out. Selling on the inexpensive side for new CD's which is nice.

[noddin0ff]

Also been listening to one from Bil Callahan, aka (smog). There's some beautiful simplicity in his songs. And, some direct and personal lyrics. e.g

I dreamed it was a dream that you were gone
I woke up feeling so ripped by reality
Love is the king of the beasts
and when it gets hungry it must kill to eat
Love is the king of the beasts
a lion walking down city streets

I tend to like him when he sounds more spare, and the album pulls out some sweeping strings. They do add a melodic touch. Most would probably prefer them. He's got a great deep voice. I see NPR has a mini-live session on line. Also trying some enhanced album art.

Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Seminal album that you probably either have no interest in ever hearing or you're already heard. Not strictly ambient but laid back throughout. Easily one of my favorite electronic releases of all time.

Black Flag - THE COMPLETE 1982 DEMOS PLUS MORE

This was fun to listen through once, but really it wasn't good enough (and is certainly not my favorite BF era) to have a lot of interest in. Nice cover art, though.

Rocking the vinyl.

Yeah, I gave this a listen. Interesting as a fan, but no way I'm pulling this out over most any of their official releases from the era.

But, always love the Pettibon art.

The other night, the Wife was flipping through the channels, looking for something to spice up the evening. She stumbled onto this: perhaps the best thing I have heard in a very long, LONG time.

The Slackers: An Afternoon in Dub

Have seen these guys live a couple times and enjoyed them but have rarely listened to their records. Live, and I believe on most of their records, they tend towards uptempo ska. This release is an about face. It's all jazz inflected soulful instrumental dubs. Very laid back and bass to shake down your walls. Really nice music to sit back and have a smoke to. I guess its been out of print on CD for quite some time from the prices I see asked for it on some sites. But, there is a newly released vinyl version available cheap that I'm playing right now.
