What is spinning?

Hey sticks, interesting song you posted there.

Yeah, it's hard to transition from Art Blakey straight into punk...if done wrong it can send your system straight into shock. No such worries today. I'm starting off life in the bush of ghosts...

[Stone]

Very nice. I may have to spin that one soon. I've been listening to Making Space lately.

How was the show?

Splendid! Sorry you couldn't make it!

Excellent. I would have loved to have been there, but I did have a nice time with my (now) 5-year-old daughter, putting makeup on her new hairstyling/makeup head (and a bit of eyeshadow on me).

I did listen to these albums (records for the 1st two, and mp3s for the third):

My wife ridicules my fondness for the 80s whenever I play that Duran Duran. Brings back memories.

Actually, one memory in particular. During the high school years I worked in our local hardware/appliance/TV/electronics store in town. I was the only floor employee under 50 so I got to set up all the TVs & VCRs and these brand new laser disk players. We also rented out laser disks. When I saw the Duran Duran laser disk come in I thought to myself, "What a great way to show off a cutting edge AV setup!" So I loaded up the disk, on repeat, had it playing on the main display projection set and wandered off to unpack washers and dryers. A couple hours later I came in and saw semi naked women pillow fighting sumo wrestlers and such on the projection TV and about had a heart attack. I was pretty certain I was about to lose my job. Fortunately, thanks to living in a tiny, slow town, the only person who saw it was the old guy I did deliveries with...who was standing there watching as I came in. He said something about how I should probably turn it off and wandered away. Love that album.

I'm going to give it a guilty pleasure listen right now .

The Compact Two-Tone Story

This 4 CD box set collects the A-side and B-side of every single released on the label. Both sides of the Dutch Concrete Jungle single plus both tracks from the free single which accompanied initial copies of More Specials are also included. The Bodysnatchers live version of 007 is the only unreleased track in the set, however it did previously appear in the film Dance Craze but failed to make it on to the films soundtrack album.

Yup, all the singles form the Specials, Selector, English Beat, and more. Basically this is all that any but the most ardent two-tone fans would really ever need outside of instances where you happen to have a favorite album cut from here or there that you just HAVE to have. Well, then of course, you will at least need the first Madness album. OK, maybe this isn't everything you need. But, it's a lot of damn fine music nonetheless.

Ben Webster: Atmosphere For Lovers And Thieves

Someone around here was kind enough to burn a copy of this off vinyl for me and it is really, really good. Great lyrical jazz. If you're a Ben Webster fan, this is an excellent choice.

The Sound of Jazz

In 1958, CBS brought in an all star cast of the best jazz musicins they could find, Count Basie, BIlie Holiday, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Pee Wee Russel, Ben Webster and many more all jamming in makeshift lineups. The whole thing was filmed and shown on live TV. Then they made a record to commemorate the proceedings. A damn fine record at that.

So...chubb, how long you been hoarding jazz records...I get the impression we're seeing the tip of a pretty massive collection here.

Well truthfully it's a combination of vinyl, disc and digital files. With the kids I am just too busy for vinyl, I get in the odd session but not like I used to. So I have a Squeezebox and do alot of listening to files now.

I still grab up the vinyl.

I kind of arrived at my goals with my gear a while back. This has really allowed me to focus on music. With jazz, it's an endless path. I feel like I am way down the rabbithole right now, I have led myself to some rather lesser known giants.

Tonight a friend of mine received a 45 rpm copy of Evolution, based on my recommendation. He is about to bust it out, so I am refreshing on that album so him and I can wax all things Moncur III.

Anyhow I am trying to show up here at AR some more. I have been posting my music adventures elsewhere but I will post here now. BTW, I grabbed the Atlantic Ray Charles set, it has the Soul Meeting in it. Still love Soul Brothers, I have also took to david fathead Newman, his sax player.

I've seen the video, would love the audio. There's a really sentimental story behind Young and Holiday that culminates at that session.

I'll burn the vinyl as soon as I get a chance. It's well worth a listen.

Going back to the late 60's for some very early Deep Purple. In fact their 1st and 2nd releases.

Shades of Deep Purple and
Book of Taliesyn

First time I've heard these in years. They sound really good on the Dyns. It sort of blows my mind when I think back to the first time I heard this album it was on my very first HiFi system. It consisted of an Ampex cassette system with speakers and a Elac Miracord turntable. It sounded good to me then, little did I know how good it would sound 40 some years later.

I loved Deep Purple back in the day when Ritchie Blackmore was the guitarist. Good stuff!
