What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)
Posted by: Tam on 06 June 2005
Anyway, to kick things off, I'm currently, and probably for most of the rest of this week, listening to Radio 3's Beethoven Experience. They're doing one of the piano concertos at the moment and (number 2 with Glenn Gould). Anyway, the experience thing probably needs its own thread, but, even on this cheapo radio it's proving fairly enjoyable.
So, what are you listening to right now?

on the lp12 as all such old music should be.

Good god, does anyone know of any good glaziers? 
Some nights the music is just so alive one knows one is heading for a late night despite the looming morning

And now....
I still reckon that considering its age (22 years!) and they actually made all their equipment, its bloody fab.... (well i think so anyways)

I absolutely under stand the musical part of your post - can't unfortunately say anything about the "in the car" part of it, because my Schmandrik doesn't have CD playing facility (and I don't have cassette tapes), but then: what does a UN general need discs for, in the desert ?
cheers

Stefan mon General,
If you get rid of the antennas, all the short waves and satelite radios as well as the flag, you will have planty of room to install a decent CDP and some speakers in your UN.
Communications are essential, but I rather do them with the music than with the UN HQs.
I keep my cars for a long time. So when the Schmandrik came along in 2005 I did not mind outfitting it with a quality Alpine head unit and a pair of components Boston Acoustics speakers, that I hope will keep me a good company for a long time.
Peace with the Peace Keeping Force,

Monk & Coltrane at Carnegie Hall
Just cant seem to get this back in the rack away from the player at the moment. Wonderfully chilled.

I have no Monk in my collection to speak of, would this be a good palce to start. or would there be better places to sample Monk?

SJB - it's not a bad place to start, but I think Monk's Music or Brilliant Corners might be easier. Proper have released a box set with Monk's Blue Note recordings through to his first disc with Riverside - personally, you won't go wrong with that either. I prefer the discs he cut with Riverside, but I have all the other stuff as well. It's not everyone's cup of tea but Monk's Music is one of my desert island discs.
