What are you listening to Part the Third


Voltron

Recommended Posts

Listened to that yesterday on Tidal, and had a good first impression!

 

Anne's colleague takes her son to the same private school in Chicago as Jeff Tweedy's younger son. Says he's a really nice guy, very down to earth. I keep asking Anne when they are going to set up a small private solo acoustic concert  for us, which Jeff does for charity, on occasion. Hasn't happened yet ...

I wonder if they do that to get past a copyright sweep?  By the way, there is a dropdown box to change the playback speed, so you change it, and the track sounds like it should.  It's embedded in the settings (gear) button.  It happened to me, and I had the WTF face.  So I fiddled around and badda-bing.  In your case, play back at half speed, and all would have been well.

No no, the videos I posted are at the correct speed.  I tried speeding up the videos I found ("(full album)" type stuff -- was around 1.5 hours, IIRC), but it sounded disjointed with itself, if that makes any sense.  I'd rather not revisit -- it is the stuff of musician nightmares -- but you're welcome to do what you will.  As always.

 

I have a feeling it's a little too saccharin cloying for many repeated listenings (~100 or so), but for now (~12 or so), it is appealing to my sweet tooth.

I figured you would not post erroneous links, so I was commenting on the other ones you mentioned before.  How odd that you had no luck with the speed change.  I had no problems with the ones I encountered.  Bummer.

 

I just finished listening to Bilateral.  I like a lot of it, but nothing really grabbed me on first pass.  I'll give it more time off and on in the coming days to get a better feel for it.  I have a feeling you may be right regarding the limited replay value though.

No worries!  I suspect I am alone on a lot of things, and I am alright with that.

 

Did you ever listen to In the Nursery's Hindle Wakes -- that one just puzzles me.  I have no idea what is that appeals to me so much about that album, but it just stands out in a multiple decades long career of two brothers as far and away their best album.
