What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2016
2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
Shelby Lynne "I Can't Imagine"
Original vinyl...
On CD.
On CD:-
Been a couple of years since last playing this CD rip. Had forgotten what a great a concert this was! Such a huge sound from just one singer and two guitars...
On vinyl.
LZ IV on vinyl. Classic Records pressing.
Rush. Hemispheres. On CRC vinyl from 1978. "The Trees" is both musically and lyrically one of my favorite Rush songs.
Fleetwood Mac. Tusk. On 2LP original vinyl from 1979. Another one of those albums from my youth that I appreciate more these days.

Dark, downtempo electronica to start the day.
Nirvana. With The Lights Out (2004). Just arrived today. Live recordings and demos impressively packaged with a tin cover and 60-page booklet that provides extensive documentation and photos. The 3 CDs proceed in chronological order and I'm spinning disc 1 which starts with material from a house party in 1987. Chad Channing's drumming strikes me as more 'lively" than the comparatively gorilla-handed Grohl. Cobain's guitar and vocals are nonetheless the dominant feature.
As a side note to Roger Waters fans: there actually is a Radio KAOS, located in Olympia, Washington, that recorded several of the early tracks here.
During workout, the vocals are different and pull you in...
1st run..
A great singer - diction, musicality, it's all there - plus a feeling of unlimited resources on tap. All volumes of this series are recommended, but the songs here are amongst Schubert's best.
Cheers

A fabulous album, Jeff, which I was playing myself earlier today. Must research some of her other albums.
