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:

On Chords' suggestion - haven't listened to this one in a while.

After a long week of work, practice and rehearsals, I'm taking what's left of my night tonight off and just relaxing and letting my body / mind absorb the music like steam in a sauna.
Jarrett's "Standards" trio
..world class..
Relaxing to disc 1 before bedtime,
not played this for a while,
almost forgotten how wonderful this ensemble put together a tune! : )

No. My original sounds pretty good though. How do you like the new release? I thought this was it.
My Mistake Matt, looks like you are right, I go in and out of listening to Steve Earle and thought I'd look up what I'd missed over the last couple of years, looks like I've got another one to listen to, quite like what I've been listening too, I guess I'll always prefer the early stuff though.
Really enjoying the below at the moment, How To Destroy Angels - Welcome Oblivion, if you like NIN and Massive Attack it is well worth a listen -

I think I first heard of Tom Rapp and his group, 'Pearls Before Swine', on a Warner Brothers sampler album in the early 1970's not sure which. He has a strange 'lisp' vocal style, but was an excellent writer who brought new life to American folk music by adding classical layers SunForest is his last album & it is not his best imo, but worth a listen.
Superbly crafted and a stunning recording. G
Giving the Twenty.23 cones a work out. Feeling the bass through the sofa. Sofa so good! G
Inspired by others playing this recently. Arrived in the post today
Finally got this 96/24 needle drop to play via iTunes, XLD conversion to .wav
The compositions on this recording contain dances [of varying formality] which Brade intended for all kinds of musical instruments but particularly on viols (...from quoted prints of 1614 and 1617).
Does what it says on the tin really,
and Hesperion XX on top form as usual : )

Introducing Mose Alison. Some great songs digitally remastered.
My favourite
