What are you all listening to?

[Foghat]

Also Crystal Voyager OST CD picked up from the artist's website in Oz after a recommendation on this site - first class stuff, couple of really outstanding tracks, worth checking out.

Well done that man! Can you believe something that good can be so unknown?

Does that CD lack Pink Floyd's Echoes, given it's from G Wayne Thomas's website? I created my own soundtrack CD by using the original album tracks (on vinyl, retrieved from an Australian record shop by a friend while on holiday, who just spotted it and was aware of my keenness on the music and went to the trouble of carting a 12" record around on his trip!), mixed in with the extra incidental music off the DVD (some of the DVD tracks are a different mix, some slightly muddier), plus Echoes at the end of course.

Still one of my all-time favourite CDs....really uplifting stuff, isn't it?

That's right, Foghat, no Pink Floyd - track listing, from the CD, as below (the web site info is incorrect):

1. Changes
2. Into the Blue
3. Junkyard 1/2
4. Red Sun Sea
5. Slipping Away
6. Changes 2
7. Clouds Cry [That could be the reason]
8. Gypsy Shoes
9. Hollywood
10. Space and Time
11. Listen to the Sunrise
12. Old Mother Sea

I like the special mention for David Elfick on the sleeve notes - 'procurer of condiments and raiser of flagging spirits'!

Still one of my all-time favourite CDs....really uplifting stuff, isn't it?

It is good, very good! Nice one on making your own version, dedication above and beyond...

Clann Zu - a new discovery for me, but no longer extant I think.

Jerry Lee Lewis 'Live at the Palomino' - The Killer in a more casual and relaxed (pissed) mood than the Star Club show. 40 odd songs recorded in LA. with James Burton on guitar - great stuff!

The Stone Roses

awesomeness

Great crap on the Christmas tree! I guess that's my listening sorted for Sept-Dec 2011:

Europe '72

Check out the China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider sequence in THIS (in particular the segue commencing at the 3'40" tempo change in China) to see an example of why this exalted run of concerts is so eagerly awaited.......shame the smooth transition doesn't work on these ripped tracks like it does on the CD, though. Anyway, as usual, headphones, high volume/bass and eyes closed are essential.

Flippin' 'eck, 60CDs!!!! You getting one then?

Failure to have this music for listening to at will is not an option.....!

I think the Dead zone in my CD department has the capacity.

 

[Foghat]

So to sum up, you can't dance to it and your girlfriend hates it.

Very good.

Re the latter, well yes, but in my experience women generally, with a few exceptions, don't get the Dead, or indeed mind-groove-jamming. However, rather than hating the music itself, which is often deemed acceptable at the usual superficial level most people listen at, they tend to hate the fact that the chap, who does get it, prefers to listen to it to listening to them!

The Draughtman's Contract by Michael Nyman on Spotify - my wife heard it in a dream last night so we thought we'd give it a run through. Still good!

Went to see Marty Stuart last night. Top class show with first rate musicianship.

Guitar afficionados will recognise Clarence White's Fender Tele which MS bought from CW's family or as Marty put it "I just bought the rights to borrow it".

MS started off, as a kid, playing in Lester Flatts band and then with Johnny Cash before going solo.

Marty is a really interesting guy and there was some nice banter and patter between songs, he has a real sense of what music and American history is all about and is doing all he can to keep tradition and history alive - he was very impressive on a personal level. And he's married to gorgeous country music leg-end, Connie Smith.

Great country/rock and roll, close harmony bluegrass gospel and some superb mandolin playing too.
