What are you listening to Part the Third

[HiWire]

Funny – I just put Supernature in the CD player and now I must buy Silver Eye.

A glass of Knappogue Castle doesn't hurt the experience, either.

Me too.  And before that, she used to work at a local pre-hipster record store called Newbury Comics.  I remember her from those days in Boston.....

[Hopstretch]

Newbury Comics! 

I still listen to 'Til Tuesday.

The new album is quite ... specific. Good (of course) but just really focused on telling a certain story in a certain mode.

[EdipisReks1]

There is a new Aimee Mann album?  Rad.

[Aura]

^The new Pallbearer is fucking fantastic. Listened earlier.

Now - Antoine Dufour - Back and Forth. Love this guy, favorite acoustic player save Michael Hedges. Seeing him and Andy Mckee play together was a real live concert highlight for me.

Edit - listen to the electronic versions on disc 2 as well... this is just great.

Newbury Comics -- I was there, many an age ago, but...pretty sure that was after 'Til Tuesday, so...no Aimee Mann...

Yeah, I really dig the new Pallbearer, too.

Will have to give Antoine Dufour a listen.  My favourite acoustical player is Tommy Emmanuel.  And I saw Michael Hedges once, live.

Soen, Lykaia -- yes, again.  Totally addicted to this, will be in my Top xx of 2017.  That sequence from Lucidity to Sister is just sublime.  Here, listen to "Opal":

Been listening to her back catalog in addition to her new album.

This is actually pretty strong as far as live albums go, IMO. Smart, hip, and chill.

Metric - Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?

Such a great album, I played it backwards and forwards.  (No, seriously, I resequenced the CD in reverse order, and burned it that way to play in my car.)  Not a duff track on it.  Right up there with Garbage's first album.  I think I'll have to pull it out tonight.

How I miss your ranting. Do you miss my all time lows?

I wish I had an SACD player, still.

Ok Computer capitol vinyl pressing

apparently its been 20 years! Pitchfork released a limited edition zine with custom artwork and some reflections and they were passing them out at a record store I stopped by in the city.

I miss the days when they were art school weirdos.

It's every other album.  This is a pop album, the next one (and previous one, if you missed it) will be (was) an art album.

[dsavitsk]

It isn't pop versus non pop. It is goofy versus non goofy. Emphasis is on the weirdos part. I miss the Supernature days.
