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:

Bought this at Cropredy after hearing them live, for the track 'Medicine'. A brilliant album especially the aforementioned
Genesis - From Genesis To Revelation

Hi Raider,
You must be a die hard fan to have that, even they disowned it 
did you sneeze allergically on the dust when you dug it out?
Yes, dust - the enemy! It is not a symbiotic relationship....
Deep Purple - The Book Of Taliesyn
Ray Lamontagne "Till The Sun Turns Black"
Wonderful band from East London: Firefly Burning - Lightships
Ludwig van Beethoven: Alfred Brendel (Piano)
Disc #6:
Sticking to the B's today - Beethoven & Brendel
Just finished also listening to what Brendel had to say on his latest Desert Island disc and it just confirmed to me why I find him to be a fascinating character and can relate to him very well. I have always wondered how great musicians can convey emotion without actually becoming emotional themselves. I think with Brendel though, he simply is not concerned about the emotion - it is all about the intellect. He simply states that a performer who focuses on emotion is just an amateur. Ouch!
Well, this is just very Austro-Germanic characteristics which is expected from Brendal. Love his playing all the same.
DSOTM SACD, CD layer, ripped with XLD to FLAC
Always a good start for a rainy Sunday morning.
Best digital version of DSOTM I've heard to date.

I agree Sorren. I'm a die-hard Genesis fan I have failed to find a redeeming feature in the CD version I have of this album.

Not really a Madonna fan but I make an exception for this album
Fancied something acoustic. CD ripped to FLAC, not bad for £3. He's a lot better than I remember.

Hi to a fellow Cat lover,
I'm fairly new to his work, mostly just remembered tunes from the radio. But I'll have a look around for some more of his work as I'm quite enjoying it.
So far today ...
Billy Joe Armstrong (Greenday) and Norah Jones redo The Everly Brothers' "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us'. Never heard the original, but I like these artists and this music genre (Appalachian folk music).
