I seem to never tire of Mark Knopfler's, Tracker tour 2015, much to everybody else in the house's chagrin.

It is one of the best live albums I have.

Did you get to take in any of the concerts?  We went to one at the Royal Albert Hall - great show, and somehow he seems to defy the dodgy acoustics, or perhaps I've just learned that it pays to sit as close to the stage end as possible.  

When i say JUMP you ask HOW HIGH!

Family members are out for a few hours, so am spinning vinyl....

Rag'N'Bone Man - Human

LP5 '10 extras' from this box set...

Vinyl spinning continues with...

REM - Out of Time

Excellent selection of tracks and sound/recording.

On vinyl...

The Barr Brothers  -  "The Barr Brothers"  (2011)  wonderful Canadian band with a mixture of rock, americana, and pop.  Brad Barr is a genius-original in my book.  In the last seven years, this band has been making music I cannot live without.

Eternal Summers - Silver

CD (2010)

 Indie pop duo, playing guitar and drums.  Catchy tunes.  

The Black Crowes-Croweology

CD (2014) 

This was near Eternal Summers' albums, and haven't listened to in a while.  Indie rock.  

Mr. Twin Sister  -  "Mr. Twin Sister"  (2014)  a favorite of the last 5 years, though I didn't find it there first, this was a top pick by Pitchfork (if you are a fan-boy of reviewer drivel).  I can't categorize this, go with Pitchfork or do your own research.  I just know I love it.

Ryan Adams-Heartbreaker

First album played after switching on again after the thunderstorms have passed. Donald Byrd, Slow Drag. Cool!

CD (2016) 

Continuing on with Indie rock/pop.  Think I first heard this band on NC State's radio station, wknc.org.  

Slight change of direction (!) after Donald Byrd. I was minded to play this after reading part of a thread on ATC loudspeakers, which reminded me of my first experience of Kudos 707s, playing this album, where I heard a cabinet resonance which was excited in the lower mid-range, which i cannot repeat with the NBLs, thankfully.

I wholeheartedly agree Jeff.  I've just discovered them through Sleeping Operator and Queen of the Breakers and will be investigating their earlier work.

"New Miserable Experience" - Gin Blossoms (CD)

Oh yes. Cracking good album - and title. 

Thanks for the reminder/prod Alba.

John. 

Bear's Den  -  "Island"  (2014)

 My God, I hate "why would anyone be interested".  I have no idea.  Try YouTube, Tidal, Spotify, etc,etc,etc or ask gdam Adam Meredith.  I am not talking sound when I post or even recommendation, I am talking music (and I am saddened if your equipment choices have made some of your music unlistenable, I had nothing to do with that and it don't make the music bad). And I have no idea what Mr. Me-Me-Me likes.

I have a thought, try a listen and make up your own mind.  Then I will watch what you play and you can watch what I play and, perhaps, we might agree from time to time.   And perhaps have made a friend.   Or ask a question and I will answer it if I can.  Do your research and tell you what you need to do ?- that ain't happening on my posts.

If I have what I think is a valuable comment, I will be glad to make it. I don't have the music-writing skills of Floretstan, or EJS or Gary Shaw.  I am sick of thinking people are looking over my shoulder and people taking shots here or from other threads at me and my friends here.  Somebody took the initiative to start a thread to circumvent this one and half the contributors bad mouthed this thread.  Screw you people who are so darn self-absorbed and self-righteous.  And I don't give a crap what device you are reading it on.  I don't need to meet your gdam personal needs.

But I would love to share music with you and continue to be given exploring opportunities by you as so many have given me ie; Ewen, PatK, Voltaire, Lontano, MilesSmiles, Mike Hughes, JamesN, MDS, etc,etc,etc.  I am eternally grateful to these people and many others.  They have helped make the last 15 years of my life bearable.

I am not sure any of you are interested in why I wrote that, just as I am not sure what broke the camel's back.  But I am not deleting it.  I am going to listen to music and share when I feel like it or until my membership is deleted.

P.S.  Bear's Den is great if you like that kind of music.  And I am eternally grateful to Naim that this space is available, for the moment. 

Now Playing........

Fink - Distance and Time

Streaming on NAS.......  Kicking off this Sunday morning with a little Fink, ......and it is sounding mighty fine!

The above is pretty much the only "earlier one" but I can recommend some wonderful YouTube videos especially when they make radio show visits and play up to 30 minutes.  Good listening, Jeff A

I now have 7 new-to-me-albums to listen to in my PatK folder.  I hope you and your daughter are well.  Thanks, Jeff A
