What are you listening to? (VOL VI)

Some nice music.

Berlin - Love Life

A band I avoided for years on the strength of the vomit-inducing Take My Breath Away. Strangely, almost everything else I could find of theirs was rather good.

Chatham County Line - Route 23




Regional bluegrass/folk/country group.

Happy that I now get to see her on 19th January.

Jeff, may I recomend '12 songs'?

'Home before Dark' is excellent but as a loyal ND fan I can safely say that '12 songs' rates among his best albums ever. Not as good as 'Hot August Night'...but then, what is?

My most played ECM at the moment.

I think you just did ! and thank you, I will try to hear it.

Did I ever tell you the story of him playing at my college back in 1968, just him and an acoustic guitar and 800 or so students/audience. I probably have ...... it was sublime.

You should be so lucky?

I was quite lucky, the small private college I attended arranged a musical program once each quarter, ie fall, winter and spring, funded from our tuition so we attended "free". So twelve total in my four years there.

The ones I can still remember were Dionne Warwick, Neil Diamond, The Sandpipers, The Four Seasons (w/Franki Valli), Glenn Yarborough, The Lettermen, Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Chicago.

On red vinyl, no less.

Have you played the 45 yet?

Yes now that I can!

My next Oz choice was going to be INXS.

I knew it. But you played Nick Cave instead.

Extras disc from the 1976-1982 box set. I love this disc as it has a load of great b sides from the singles of the time that I used to play loads back then.

Does it have "Twilight Alehouse" on it? One of my favourite Genesis tracks. I wish it had been added to a remastered SEBTP. I have to make do with a slighty scratchy 45.

The 2 CD set in the 'book' type case.

Steve, Twilight Alehouse is on the 1970-1975 Box Set along with Happy The Man and some other goodies. It's a good box and you get quite a few extras on the DVD's which come with the albums. Details here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_1970–1975

Herbie Hancock "The Piano"



A Haim recommendation, and excellent it is.

Stu,

Sadly no. I did see them on the "Animals" tour (Wembley Arena) and much later on the "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" one at Wembley Stadium.

steve

Lontano - Thanks for that. I'll keep an eye out.

Edna Stern - piano



first listen
recommended by Dan on the "Pianists ...." thread

For some reason I always end up playing side 2 first. "The Gold Bug" has become the de facto test track for new gear, tweaks, cable dressing, running the hoover round, etc.
