What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Great choice. Status Quo at their best
Question -
Which do you regard as better (a relative term arguably where 'The Quo' are concerned), this or Blue For You and the Mystery Song?
Piledriver,Quo,On The Level and Blue for You are to me the golden era of Status Quo. On The Level stands out to me on a personal level as it reminds me of great times growing up in London and staying with my Aunt who looked after me for a while.
It's a goodie:
Best latterday Fall LP I think...
Eva Cassidy - Live At Blues Alley
..like this more than the later electronic experiments of Miles..
This is even better Bert
Boris Giltburg in Prokofiev's sonatas #6-8 - excellent.

Before I forget: the performances are mind blowing, among the best I've heard from her. Where her impromptus are taking the roundabout route to the soul (impressive as they are), she is admirably direct in both works here, recalling the young Perahia. (And by the time Perahia got around to recording D.960, he had lost some of his earlier simplicity - so Pires has the field alone here. Perhaps Lupu is a better comparison).
Cheers,
EJ
