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:

Was introduced to Carley Simon's music by the late JV when deciding to buy my first 12/160 rather than a 22/120
^ I've never even heard of that last RZA album - will have to look it up when I'm not half-asleep. Tks
Anyhow, somehow all of the above has put me in the mood for...
Fleetwood Mac "Rumours"
Goldheart Assembly "Wolves and Thieves"
I do not own many of his recording but I enjoy his Chromatic Fantasy and expecially the Fugue very much.

Don,
That's so cool that JV listened to Carly. ( such a girly choice ) 
All Things Must Pass [Original recording remastered, Extra tracks]
George Harrison | Format: Audio CD
Listening to Perahia's Bach for the first time.
Famous Landowska.
The whole album sounds like a monumental self parody. It is sometimes unintentionally funny.
In your face and sometime even sounds amatureish. Loud and garrish, this isn't your demure stringy harpsichord. Often feels awkward and foreign without fluidity I expect from Bach program. At times left and right hands are not in sync and her right hand does not have any coherent or rhythmic pattern. One note to the next isn't connected. Lively Overall her Pleyel has a shouty annoying character.
I am trying very hard to find a kernel of her brilliance.
John Lennon. Mind Games. On vinyl from 1973. Released 40 years ago last month.
Buddy Holly. The Crickets 20 Golden Greats. On vinyl from 1978. Very nice sound.
On CD:-
Watching an in house feed of the above from a Bonn concert in 2007
Just finished listening to The Civil Wars.......
.....and now the first disc of
Elliott Smith "Either/Or"
Ben Webster - Soulville
keep playing this one over and over again ..... for me one of the absolute best Jazz albums available
