^^ another one I need to rewatch. Rounding off my afternoon listening with a slightly longer album (1:45) of goodness. My Bluegrass Heart Béla Fleck 2021 https://album.link/i/1576234810 Example - starts out with this and then just gets better: With the following lineup - it is hard to not like. It's like they have all been cooped to for too long and they just wanted to play. Banjo --- Béla Fleck, Noam Pikelny, Tony Trischka Bass --- Edgar Meyer, Mark Schatz, Paul Kowert, Royal Masat Dobro --- Jerry Douglas Fiddle --- Andy Leftwich, Billy Contreras, Michael Cleveland, Stuart Duncan Guitar --- Billy Strings, Bryan Sutton, Cody Kilby, Molly Tuttle Mandolin --- Chris Thile, David Grisman, Dominick Leslie, Sam Bush, Sierra Hull

And of course, this led me to my next Album because of this track. Ooh La La Faces 1973 https://album.link/i/1031010809 a quick 30-minute album that brings me joy.

Rushmore Various Artists 1999 https://album.link/i/1440828232 Example: Need to watch the movie again... soon

Cheers Justin .. Happy Birthday

Just listening to Tim {Henson} play some tune with friends

^^ this CLOSURE / CONTINUATION (360 Reality Audio Version) Porcupine Tree 2022 https://album.link/i/1592575933 Example: Good mix of songs as well.

Rosa Chihiro Yamanaka 2020 https://album.link/i/1517727137 Example: Unknown artist to me. I thought it was maybe classical, until I heard the first note. Oh jazz, oh look it is Blue Note. Next time take a little look before you leap Mikey. Or maybe not, I might not get to listen to some things otherwise. Anyway, a good recording of some standards and originals.

So, I was playing a game on my phone and there was a pop-up ad. I think I found an Easter egg that 'maybe' they didn't see.

Prokofiev: Piano Concertos Nos. 4 & 5 Vladimir Ashkenazy, London Symphony Orchestra, André Previn 1997 (Wrong! It is a 1976 reissue of the 1975 recordings of all 5 Concertos, stoopid TIDAL, don't you read Discogs?) https://album.link/i/1452339744 Example (from the 1975 albums): Other than wishing there was an easy feedback loop for reporting bad info to TIDAL it is a good recording.

Cheers Kerry -- Happy Birthday...

Ever since Friends.

I don't think you had to trade in Joanne, oh well 'merica! Congrats to the two of you. Happy to have you here that is for sure. Now we need to you vote, like a lot....

Madman Across The Water (Deluxe Edition) Elton John 1971 https://album.link/i/1618478418 Example (demo): I have enjoyed the demos and some other live tracks. I probably won't listen to them much, but fun that they are there. The standard album tracks are just so good.

Very not proggy Let Go (20th Anniversary Edition) Avril Lavigne 2002 https://album.link/i/1626353802 Example: She's 20 years older - not me... She could belt and there are hooks all over this album. I knew the first 5 songs off the top of my head, and I don't even listen to Avril that I can think of. Also, Top Gun: Maverick (Music From The Motion Picture) Hans Zimmer https://album.link/t/230595668 Working over old material here - but still good music. Looks like TIDAL does not have rights to Kenny Loggins yet, so that that is a Fail!

So, I follow this guy Craig Benzine on the YouTubes (aka WheezyWaiter), and he started up a podcast with Greg Benson (MediocreFilms). So naturally they start a podcast -- Two Guys Talking About Lettuce https://anchor.fm/lettuceguys It is what you would think, but also nothing that you would think. If you enjoy two comedians spending an hour just doing bits, this is for you. They started to put them on the YouTube as well. There is something about humor that does not resolve that I really enjoy.

fragments Rachika Nayar 2021 https://album.link/i/1573269210 Example: I have been listening to this (what I would call an EP - only 20 min) many times over the last two weeks. The looping and overall aesthetic is really appealing to me. I like it better than a lot of things from her breakout album "Our Hands Against the Dusk".

Congrats G Now you understand.....

Beethoven: Piano Sonatas No. 3 in C Major, Op. 2 & No. 16 in G Major, Op. 31 Olga Kopylova 2021 https://album.link/i/1576013975 Example: Nice versions

The Voice Of Love Julee Cruise 1992 https://album.link/i/358066013 Example: Haunting goodness - RIP

Nope - missed that one.

^^ I really like the acoustics on that one. Fun on headphones. I just finished listening to a couple of songbirds new to me. I Cry When I Laugh Jess Glynne 2015 https://album.link/i/1027561834 Example: Mostly dance oriented songs, that I liked, but I was I was drawn to her Adel style, and she can belt. and Innocent Eyes (Ten Year Anniversary Acoustic Edition) Delta Goodrem 2003 https://album.link/i/740210360 Example: Enjoyed her Tori Amos/Kate Bush style. I guess I like these two enough, but is it just because they sound like other singers that I love? I guess I will see if I listen to more of their stuff.
