uuummm ... nope...

Birthday dram: Mortlach 1942/50yo 40% {book of the kells label}

Breathing Space by Hackberry (2023) https://album.link/i/1667406320 Example: New to me, a new band out of the Netherlands. Prog rock - but instrumental only. Liked the grooves, liked the solos, liked the transitions. All good.. (4 songs = 50 min)

Body Heat by Quincy Jones (1974) https://album.link/i/1443141710 Example: Bernard Purdie's voice is so sweet on this track. Discovering Quincy's transition from the Jazz side to the soul side. Of course he did it very well. Sad that it was his passing the was the spark for my discoveries, but happy to be here regardless.

Juju Jubilee by Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey & His Inter Reformers Band (1985) https://album.link/i/1565283299 Example: What I really needed.

Don't know why I needed to listen to this today... Destroyer by Kiss (1976) https://album.link/i/1440854205 Example: So there was that...

Gives me so much anxiety...

Because reasons: Sinatra At The Sands by Frank Sinatra (1966) https://album.link/i/1440842924 Example: And words for Mr. Jones RIP

Chiaroscuro by Darol Anger (1985) https://album.link/i/1201476217 Example: I came across a clip of Darol playing with Britney Haas the other day. And I was like I know Darol, I use to listen to him back in the 80's. I still have several Windom Hill LPs. So this is the stuff I listened to in the 80's along with Animotion (look that one up kids).

I would agree - It is - One of the headphones...

Written In The Stars by Bill Charlap Trio (2000) https://album.link/i/723534675 Some 2000 jazzy jazz on Blue Note? - you bet. Mastered by Ric Wilson, and yup, sounds good... Mostly standards, but has a lot of weight to the tracks.

The Haunting of Hill House (2018) I know I am late to this and it is a little on the nose for Halloween viewing - but it was also good.

And for more funny stuff. Enjoyed the following so far. Mostly just shooting the shit. Bob Odenkirk Jason Bateman Michael Cera Fred Armisen Tony Hale Jake Johnson Andy Richter Patton Oswalt Sarah Silverman

watched to this. I was intrigued, little bit of Amy Lee sound with some Tori Amos for me. With that I listened to the more recent album She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She by Chelsea Wolfe (2024) https://album.link/i/1711265605 It was not what I was expecting - more on the Trip-hop side. Not bad, just not what I was expecting coming off the hunting Tiny Desk show. Apparently, they have very diverse albums, new artist to myself. So I think I will have to check out their early works.

ah man... I had a crush on her for a while.. - RIP Teri..

https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yfbspod That's right, your favorite band sucks!

Not sure it is dangerous enough for Colin, but maybe if you also have a 12-15% grade it could get interesting.

(Who's Afraid Of) The Art Of Noise? by Art Of Noise (1984) https://album.link/i/1364593455 Example: So my friend sent me an DM this morning asking what was my favorite Art of Noise song was, with hers being the Example. So I had to think about it, and I just had to ask myself, (Who's Afraid Of) The Art Of Noise?, and listen to the album again. While Beat Box (Diversion 1) is very very good, there are two things I like a little bit more from this album, the classic - Close (To The Edit), and the just lovely - Moments in Love. But when I thought of a fav, it was not from this album, it was on the In Visible Silence (1986) album. Which I have posted here several times before. When I thought of Art of Noise, this tune was first in line. A lot of my musical influences are packed into this 4:30 minute song from my teen years.

Live at Max's Kansas City by The Velvet Underground (1972) https://album.link/i/1070716468 Example: Good recording? no.. It was after all recorded on a cassette. But a great snapshot in time..

Demon Days by Gorillaz (2005) https://album.link/i/850571319 Example: Just chilln

I still listen to Hearts turned up pretty loud. Me: Wood II Brian Bromberg (2006) https://album.link/i/339937931 Example: Good for testing and listening...

Just a bit of fun.

Happy birthday Peter. cheers

Jump Up Calypso by Harry Belafonte (1961) https://album.link/i/1087856305 Example: Did I recently watch Beetlejuice?... may be... But regardless, a really good and fun album. It has Jump in the Line, but his voice on Kingston Market is so good.
