What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 31 December 2017
On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
1974 - UK first pressing...
Rag 'n 'Bone Man - Human.
Often posted on here, but it's awfully good, so, why not?
What a voice ............ surely one of the top albums of last year?
1975 - UK pressing...
you + me - "rose ave." (2014) Duo release by Dallas Green (City and Colour) and Alecia Moore (Pink). Very good, and likely, much better than you might imagine. If memory serves I learned of it from Ewemon on this thread. Grateful.
Now Playing.......
John Mayer - Paradise Valley
Streaming on TIDAL....... Picking up the beat just a bit and visiting John over in Paradise Valley......

alittle bass heavy but a great album
1970 - US pressing...
Caribou - "Our Love" (2014)
1974 - UK pressing...
Z Z Top - Tres Hombres.
Banishing those post New Year blues with some groovin' from The Top , and who better?
Bill Frisell and Thomas Morgan - Small Town, last 2 songs.
some need music to push them into the weekend, others need music to bring them down for the weekend. I am the second kind, and Small Town does a fine job, helping me, here.
1967 - UK first (mono) pressing...
Sarah McLachlan - "Shine On" (2014)
Johnny Cash - Ain’t no Grave (after watching „Walk the Line“)
Crosby, Stills & Nash - Daylight again
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): 32 Variations in c-minor, WoO 80
After nearly one year of not really playing (due to a fractured finger among other things) it is time to set my priorities straight again. New Years and the usual resolutions have come and gone again along with my usual attempts at dieting.
So after 3 hours of listening to myself again, I am motivated again to continue with my delayed ambitious goals so long as my body holds up with the gruelling torture. Maybe Dr. Ho can help me with the comfort and pain relief products?
Forgive me for an unusual contribution but this is what I am listening to. No one would be interested in this unless maybe I invite you over and you are willing to listen along. Fortunately, it is Winter here but I can't wait until Summer again when I can have the windows open and then fully drive my neighbours to the brink of insanity late into the night and early in the morning before the sun rises.
2018 will be a year of new beginnings again...
