Still stuck in 1989 day, or week, or month, or whatever it was I just spun Lou Reed's New York.

In honor of 1989 day, Rolling Stones Steel Wheels. Certainly not a great Stones album, but quite a bit better than clunkers like Emotional Rescue. IMO of course..

Nice choice. I got into Ibrahim Ferrer by way of this album, and probably now listen to Ibrahim even more...

I'd like to hear more about how this DAC stacks up to others in its price range, from people who have compared a few and thus have a frame of reference...

And so what's your take on this one?

I used to listen to this one a lot, but haven't in years. Thanks for the reminder!

From the Mick Taylor era, when they were at the height of their powers and touring for nearly a year. Fantastic soundboard quality and about 3x better than any "official" live release....check out Taylor's Hendrixian leads on the 6 minute expanded version of Gimme Shelter. The extended blues jam on Midnight Rambler is another highlight. But its all good and essential for the Stones fan.

Nice session with mostly originals, including some by Wayne Shorter who is also part of the line-up.

Grilled (rare) skirt steak sliced against the grain, on a bed of mixed greens with home-made vinaigrette. Colloquially known as a "meat salad" in our home... easy to make, and very tasty!

I find their music useful for staying awake on the road. They don't get much play time at home...

On a different note, is there any love here for the Supersuckers? I just discovered these guys recently, but they have a nice body of work extending back 10-12 or more years, e.g.

I'm not much more than a dabbler in classical, but I do like some classical guitar recordings, e.g. And I do have quite a bit of Segovia. Christopher Parkening doesn't do much for me. I generally prefer solo guitar, but small groups is fine too. I haven't learned to appreciate orchestral/symphonic stuff. Are there any recordings in this genre you folks would suggest? Especially, recent ones?

That sounds really, REALLY tasty. Also like it was probably a cardiovascular nightmare..
