howdydude Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 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?
howdydude Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 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.

Fun band, though their music always reminded me of keg parties in the Spring.

Dusty Chalk Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 You know those songs that you can listen to at any time? And pretty much as soon as you think of it, you kind of have to? This is one of those songs.
boomana Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 You know those songs that you can listen to at any time? And pretty much as soon as you think of it, you kind of have to? This is one of those songs. Weird combination of Leonard Cohen and Jim White. Kinda like it, but having a hard time hearing it as a song on it's own. Does anybody else what I'm talking about?

feckn_eejit Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 from a hotel room (5G iPod -> Grate-oh SR325...!) in Edmonton on a brutal, busier-than-shit business trip:
Dusty Chalk Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Weird combination of Leonard Cohen and Jim White. I constantly confuse Jim White and Joseph Arthur. And now that you mention Leonard Cohen, I hear that, too. Don't know what you're talking about on the other part, though. It's not part of any album, if that's what you mean -- it was a standalone single. I'll have to hear some Mark Lanegan...
boomana Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Dusty, I meant I was having a hard time just listening to it as a song when I was busy thinking about Cohen and White instead. Guess I wasn't too clear. right now on hf2s (really beautiful):
