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.

A couple of Chicken Shack albums on original vinyl.

1969 Liberty vinyl. This one I can strongly recommend Graham. Great British Blues, beautifully recorded. A real favourite.

And? Is it good or just hype?

 

I'm waiting for mine.

I think it's good. You can tell they mixed it on the fly though as the levels do change  a little.

We'll have to do it soon Kevin.

Interesting, CC.

 

I heard some of her new material on Chill. Will keep an eye, maybe both, on her new releases as they seem promising. Great voice!

Yup, I think it's my favourite album this year - a really atmospheric recording and a great (kind of strange at times) way of singing.

 

While I wasn't exactly expecting many replies to my tl;dr waffling, despite me including a link to a full stream, no one's posted on my Julia Holter thread. Oh well.


CC,

 

You know people's listening habits tend to be quite conservative in these quarters, including "moi". I do get bored easily sometimes and am always on the look out for something new and your posts are always welcome. I am sure there are some savvy forum  readers and members looking for new blood, musically speaking.  Keep posting CC: someone out there is "listening"!

It will not sell in millions but  cruelly that's the beauty of it!

After seeing her today rehearse for Rachmaninov's second piano concerto.

That must have been quite a nice experience Haim.

Matt,

 

Unfortunately the conductor had problems with the first part of the program, a Borodin orchestral piece, on which he spent most of the rehearsal time so we got very little of Valentina Lisitsa.

 

Here she is doing the Rachmaninov Concerto No 2:
