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:

Is it good Stu?

You must be really proud of your boy - getting into GS can't be easy. Your 'sold his soul' line reminded me of the occasional 60 hour weeks I had during my training contract - the firm I was with back then even had beds on the top floor. I'm sure it'll be worth it though, and NYC is an amazing city, of course.



I am very proud thanks Chirpa. The boy's done good. Neither of my kids followed me down the medical route (sensible in the current climate), my daughter is studying philosophy at Kings.

Lunch break with an award winning performance ....

Stu,

 

Just ordered the Joe Bonamassa LP. I found it for £9.99 at What Records. At that price I thought I'd take a punt.

 Its very good but not blown me away.

It needs a few more plays at higher volume.

Steve,

Gave it another two plays today with some volume.

Its not going to grow, as there is nothing to grow.

It can just sit in the rack for now.

I might dig it out again next month if i remember.

Good album. Good singer.

Because I just sat on it without looking, but all is well. It still goes round and sound comes out. Enjoy this much more on headphones than out of amp/nSats for some reason.

I wish someone will redo this on vinyl.
