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?

Top choice, easily my favourite ZZ Top album. Fool For Your Stockings and Cheap Sunglasses my fave tracks.

BTW great photo in the other thread, you look lost in music.

Terry Reid's River. Folky jazz and funky samba. Perfect summer's day listening.

I think that track 4 with the siren, the silence and later on, the cello and piano coming in, is just from another world. I always start the disc with it, play the whole album and then end by replaying 4, taking it literally: After...Before.

I hope you enjoy it as well,

Haim


The first time I heard this track I was scared to death !

Have given it three replays, since (how many discs do I have that I only play once. Or less...), and start liking it. To reach the status it has in YOUR repertoire, needs more (and more intense) listens.

Stefan

PS: Tried to look up Schmandrik, and only found Schmendrik and Schmendrick. But anyway: A new Lieblingswort of mine. Thanks for that...

Stefan,

Do you have this Haden?

I surely do, Haim,
Music drives me to tears (of enjoyment): very delicate conversation between Haden (my hero) and the already VERY old Anderson, but I struggle with the sound. Muffled, softish, a bit like it was recorded in a carpet store.

Eek Plasphemy !!!

Might need SL2's to give back the edge to the sound...

cheers

I bought this years ago, and have never listened to it, apart from one track on disc two. I then picked up a studio album CD in a charity shop for 50p a few months ago, and have become a devotee. Anyone who likes the weirder aspects of Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead should enjoy this...

nic,



Fool For Your Stockings is a great audition piece. this is another fav in my collection. greasy, roadhouse, potent as goat piss sound - you can smell the stale beer and cigarettes.

Tonight I'm listening to Alice.

Is Love It To Death still the best American Rock album or am I just mad, after all it does contain Alice's version of the Rolf Harris classic Sun Rise.

Very nice easy-listening stuff that flows easily into the room. Geoff, you'd like this !

Stefan,

You are right. It is Schmendrik and this is how mine looks like.

Sangam / Chrles lloyd / ECM

For the first time in the car. Great music for driving, though the guys behind me were wondering about my pace.

fishski,

I've got another four ZZ albums on vinyl (The Fist Album, El Loco, Rio Grande Mud, and Fangdango) but not that one. I will look out for it when next in the shops. Cannot beat a bit of ZZ Top when the mood takes you.

Was Kate Bush Never Forever



Now ZZ Top Fandango

Stefan,

I like it, the idea of a carpet store. The music is so good though that I would consider it to be a Turkish carpet store..

P.S.

Did you hear the Gianluigi's father was a Major General in the Italian and UN forces?

Yep, read about il caro fratello Gianluigi and was immediately thinking if he has access to the used cars they don't need any more....

Gianluigi ? are you out there, somewhere ?

Did you read Gianluigi last thread here.

I was feeling blue bfore reading Gianluigi's Thread. I had already got Ella out to play, and now I am just at My Funny Valentine, which always gets me, as I never was another's. Bloody hell life is a bitch and then you die.

Good night dear Friends, from Fredrik
