What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011
With 2012 almost 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:

On 180g black stuff.
On its 4th back to back play.
Which record label, Stu?
Today was my 1st listen to this fabulous album...
on a CD from the big box of - The Perfect Jazz Collection (25 Original Albums)
played my CD about 4 times too
The Shins "Wincing The Night Away"
On CD, Happy Birthday to Rory, Lou Reed, Tony Mehan :-
Stockholm Syndrome "Holy Happy Hour"
Rush 'Counterparts'
I hadn't listened to this for ages, and really enjoyed it, all of it. I am currently reading Neil Peart's book 'Ghost Rider' about how he dealt with the tragedy of losing his daughter and wife, and this album although before those events seems to have a different resonance now.
The Tears "Here Come The Tears"
On CD:-
Ian Brown - The Greatest
On CD:-
Tori Amos "Piano:The Collection" disc B
Good album, how is the book?
I am enjoying it, but am only a few chapters in. It is well written, but I am not sure that I have read enough to make a judgement yet.
I can say it is far better than fellow drummer Bill Bruford's book, which I gave up on. I was sick of being 'lectured' that anyone who doesn't want to play jazz in some small club was a sell out.
Now playing more Rush 'All the Wotld's a Stage' (live 1977).
Phantom Limb "Live In Bristol"
Playing this, arrived from the US of A today. Magic!
Chris Robley and the Fear of Heights "Movie Theatre Haiku"
Sweet Billy Pilgrim "Twice Born Men"
On CD:-
Tangerine Dream 'Tangerine Tree vol. 14, Paris 1981'
A very good audience recording of a very good show, another of my favourites fromTangerine Tree releases.
John Mayer Trio "Try"
I have been playing this all day in the car, on my iPhone and now on the main system. I am a massive Bruce fan and I think this is an excellent album. He has been picking up a batch of 4 and 5 star reviews in the press for this which is good to read. Will be spinning this a lot this weekend.
Winterpills "All My Lovely Goners"
steve
Michael Stanley "The Hang"
