Hurry Up Tomorrow by The Weeknd (2025) https://album.link/pg2q2hhj4snk2 (my link including QOBUZ) Example: I like the vibes of this album and there is a lot of hooks (some directly from Michael Jackson). Is it good, yup. Is it too long, absolutely. I will have to give this another listen, but most likely in chunks. One and a half hours of songs that are very samey in my head, looses my interest a bit. But there are some things that hit hard, just hate to not care anymore when they come.

Cheers Sir Colin - Happy Birthday's -- Sad to be too far away to gather all the time.

John Field: Complete Nocturnes by Alice Sara Ott (2025) https://album.link/pg4pckdqkhgkf (I created an account - so I will start adding Qubuz to the ones when I post, this does not change the main page, it is a custom page. So I am not sure how long I will do this) Example: A lovely recording by Ott. Had me reading up on Field and his contribution to the Nocturne.

Happy Birthday Steve!! Have a yabba-dabba-doo time A dabba-doo time We'll have a gay old time Cheers --

Finishing up the 20+ hours of song by song analysis of The Wall (52 videos).

A thinly sliced Skillet potato bake. I just have to wait for it to cool down for a bit before diving in.

Cal Tjader Plays, Mary Stallings Sings by Cal Tjader (1961) https://album.link/i/1444024038 Example: Holy Poop. I am not sure why I didn't know that this existed. I get inputs from all over the place, and I just keep adding them to my queue. I work my way through, best as I can, listening. About 1 in 10 are worthy of a post. This is one of the 1 in 10.

2.3lbs of bœuf.. and a red...

A little catch-up. I listened to this last Friday at the whisky gathering. And again right now. Live At The BBC by Marianne Faithfull https://album.link/i/1444089414 Example: Just lovely.. RIP

Cheers Jeff - Happy Birthday -

For some reason I have been really enjoying Dodie tunes. I have not been listening to albums or going down a rabbit hole. They started to show up in my YouTube Feed since the new year, and I just click on them once and a while. And I enjoy them every time. The deceptively simple tunes that get layered with harmonies and ornamentation. Then there are tunes like Hot Mess and Monster that hit harder.

^ I listened to it three times since it was released, and I really like it. Maybe the album cover 'put a spell on me', but enjoyable.

Sweet Rain by Stan Getz (1967) Only Apple for Link - so here is Qobuz Example: Very Pretty Album.

^^ this

Get Up With It by Miles Davis (1974) https://album.link/i/157447301 Example: Now this is an album that I really had to pay attention to. 8 tracks, 2+ hours. But I got a lot out of it for putting in the time. Gone are the days of Bitches Brew, and we are not yet to Big Fun. Like a lot of his work, he was doing something different.

Cheers fellow Mike - Happy Birthday -

Distraction Rock 'n' Roll Animal (Live) by Lou Reed (1974) https://album.link/i/976827224 Example: I had a much different idea of Lou Reed from other works (mainly the Transformer album), but this was a killer set.

Cheers Adam - Happy Birthdays -

Based on This^ This v Secret Love Letters by Lisa Batiashvili (2022) https://album.link/i/1627513869 Example: It is a little tough when you don't know the works, and further more not even familiar with the composers (Frank, Szymanowski, Chausson). But --- captivating? yup. Well recorded? yup (it is DG) And makes me want to see her perform at some point.

Caribou by Elton John (1974) https://album.link/i/1440912739 Example: I have to say I am a little mixed. Some top tier songs on this album, mixed with some that did nothing for me. May be could have not been a double album? Just saying. But I will accept it for the highs. Eldorado by Electric Light Orchestra (1974) https://album.link/i/1054523537 Example: ^^ one of the better non-Beatles Beatles songs.. Jeff Lynn and the team doing what they do...

for reasons Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Soundtrack (1992) https://album.link/i/46734067 Example: I was not up for watching this movie, but I was up for the amazing soundtrack by Badalamenti.

Even In The Quietest Moments... by Supertramp (1977) https://album.link/i/1440868388 Example: Based on listening above, I just kept on listening to Supertramp... As I should...

Sad - I was getting ready to watch Mulholland Drive soon, I guess it will be sooner.. RIP David.

But this was the Album Cover that I grew up with. Worlds Apart by Saga (1981) https://album.link/i/1457350358 Example: Don't listen to it for 20 years, then sing along with every lyric. Yup it is an album that is ingrained.
