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:

Only heard two tracks from it Adrian but it sounds like a goodie. Nice to meet you last week BTW.

Very violent femme gone good girl!
This is awesome, probably the best versions of China/Rider and Eyes of The World I've ever heard

Good to meet you too Kevin (and Jon). Can't say the Neil Young show did much for me but I know you liked it.
Onto some more electronic chill type stuff. Mountains - Centralia....
Why? It is a fine recording with great songs!
A French BS&T!
Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream

Cool, Kevin. Been meaning to pick this up. Certainly convinced to get it now.

Have played this a few times this weekend. Really like it.
Followed by: Ruth Moody - The Garden
One of the women from The Wailin' Jennys. Recommended if you enjoy their work.
Blind Pilot "Three Rounds and a Sound"
Rush - Clockwork Angels
Whatever you think of Mikhail Pletnev, he's one of the best pianists I've heard live or on disc. This Grieg recital starts with the not-often heard piano sonata, and follows with some better known miniatures - one of his best discs. DG has received some criticism for its piano recordings over the years, but they gave Pogorelich and Pletnev some of the best piano recordings ever, close-up, full bodied from top to bottom and clear as a bell.
Cheers,

Counting Crows "New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall"
I'm hoping to get around to this at the weekend. Any initial thoughts?
Been playing this for six months straight in a row - a good candidate for disc of the year!
EJ
That's some recommendation!

Yes, I love it. Best thing Fray's done so far.

Had a listen to this today. The only other version I have is the Angela Hewitt recordings in her Hyperion Bach box set.
I like the way he lingers a little on each note compared to Ms Hewitt, and achieves a very warm and unhurried sound. By comparison, she is more precise in articulation but sounds a little more "prissy", IMHO. Very enjoyable, both, but would agree the Fray shades it.

And learning to strum the title cut on the гитара...
