What is spinning?

Well I welcome it with open arms.

Starting the rotation this late afternoon is:

"Lloyd Cole - Music in a Foreign Language".

Peace

Bernd:6:

"Prefab Sprout - The Gunman and other Stories".

Enjoy the weekend

NP: A Girl Called Eddy

Man I love this disk!

-dave

Now spinning--David Gilmour--On an Island

This has been sitting around, still wrapped, waiting for conditions to be right.Conditions are right. First impressions will follow.

Essra Mohawk

You're Not Alone

Still pondering the new Gilmour--servicable enough, though I doubt a part of the daily diet.
Currently Joshua Bell is that which is spinning. This kid can play! He makes Paganini seem effortless. Wieniawski is a composer whose works I am not acquainted with, however they seem vaguely familiar.

I had an after school jam session with:

The Marshall Tucker Band - Greatest Hits

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Soul To Soul

Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive

The Guess Who - Share The Land

April Wine - various

The spinning started early today since there may be just a little something to do in downtown Indy tonight...

Now spinning Madeleine Peyroux--dreamland

and on deck: Dave Alvin--Interstate City

Good listening to all

...but I like this ratty old thread. I like the progressive nature of it. That is to say, five years from now when I'm listening to the Gyoto Tantric Monks I can figure out where I went wrong and how it came to such an end:)
Now spinning: John Coltrane--Lush Life
I have few audiophile/enthusiast friends so when my non-afflicted compadres come over a common thread of discussion runs to the effect that many avoid exploring anything resembling classic jazz because of the poor sound quality of older material even on a shelf system or ipod. I point out these Rudy Van Gelder remasters as an exception. Most refuse to believe that these recordings are over fifty years old!

You're right bobsticks, this feels more like home. Ahhhhhh.

It is still raining and I am fed up with this crappy weather, so cheering me up from the round table are:

"The Icicle Works - If you want to defeat your enemy sing his song"

will be followed by:

"James - Strip Mine"

and

"The Blues Band - Wire less".

Enjoy your Sunday

NP: one hell of a disk

Merle Haggard ~ Chicago Wind

-dave

...about tornadoes. Thankfully we didn't get it as bad as Tennessee and Illinois but it was bad enough. Many injured, 58,000 without power, and untold property damage. There are several buildings downtown with no glass left ( these things never touch down in the city,rrriiiigghttt). I think I'm ready to live a good many years without seeing 80 mile per hour winds again.

That said now gratefully spinning: The Sisterhood--Gift,specifically

Rain From Heaven

Good to hear you're alright. It didn't even make the news over here. I've got a friend in Knoxville Tennessee. He e-mailed me a news report earlier.

Still in Blues mode here with:

"Tab Benoit - nice and warm".

Just like the sunshine we are having.

I will invite "Edwyn Collins - Gorgeous George" on to the circle after that.

Peace

Bernd:5:

I hope your friend is alright as, to my understanding, Tennessee got hit a bit worse than we did. Reports are coming in hourly noting more and more property damage however.
I picked up The Little Willies and a new SACD version of Berloiz's Symphonie Fantastique the other day, and they are faithfully waiting their turn but I think I'll have to stick with the tongue-and-cheek gloom and doom just a moment longer.
NP--The Sisters of Mercy--First and Last and Always. There is a certain something about a good goth band that makes me laugh...

Yes Perry is alright. Thanks.Just got an e-mail from him. I am planning to walk some of the Appalachian Trail in the near future and Perry's home will be my base.

Sisters of Mercy always a safe bet when some gloom is requiered.LOL.

Will be spinning:

"World Party - Bang" in due course.

Peace

Bernd:16:

Morph the cat.

Welcoming the evening on the circular spot is:

"Aimee Mann - Lost in Space".

Peace

Bernd:6:

Good morning. I'm drinking a cup of coffee listening to Garnet Rogers-The Outside Track, before the craziness of another day begins. Peace.

The post-tornado climate has returned to sunless, bleak, and frigid which, of course, I still blame on Bernd:)
After a couple of really positive meetings I'm continuing the vibe with Monk/Straight No Chaser. Classic stuff...

Alright bobsticks lay the blame on me. Broad back, thick skin, man made of steel, etc,etc I can take it, I can take it

We have sunshine:6:

Starting it all today on the round spot are:

"Simple Minds - Black & White 050505"

A strangely overlooked album.

Peace

Bernd:16:

You know, I forgot that you're armed...so nevermind the blame-game. H&H, very nice indeed, Is that the 375?
Now spinning the Fritz Reiner/Chicago Symphony Also Sprach ZarathustraSACD.

I am harmless really. The Holland & Holland is a 20 bore side by side I use when going Grousse shooting in Scotland.

Anyway back to the task at hand and on the round table is currently residing:

"A Nod to Bob".

An Artists' Tribute to Bob Dylan on his 60' Birthday.

Peace

Bernd:5:

I have a couple of friends that take a yearly sojourn to New Brunswick to hunt grousse; not real outdoorsmen and neither am I. Having turned down a couple of offers to go, I've always assumd that if I wanted to make an ass out of myself and amuse my friends I could just stay in the city:) Actually, our vacations have never coincided...my loss. I'm sure it's a great passtime.

Now spinning: Lee Ritenour's--World of Brazil

You should go. Even if you don't shoot, it's just great being close to nature. My Uncle in Law lives in New Brunswick. Small World.

Welcoming the early evening and watching the sunset to:

"Beth Nielsen Chapman - Sand and Water".

Simply beautiful.

Peace

Bernd:6:

Making the rounds on this fine sunny day is:

"Martin Stephenson and the Daintees - Salutation Road".

Damn fine record!

Peace
