What are you listening to Part the Third


Voltron

Recommended Posts

New Sister Machine Gun EP -- I really love this kind of music, "hard pop" I call it, but there's more to it than that -- the combination of electric guitars and synthesizers is just my cup of tea.  And the production has to be of a sort.  Stabbing Westward, God Lives Underwater, Curve, Garbage, Gravity Kills, etc.  And this one doesn't suck.

 

Also, a 24/96 of Steven Wilson's Hand. Cannot. Erase. -- this is sublime, I really think his songcraft is at an all time peak, and I can really feel the inspiration that he got from the story, because it feels like he wants to convey something that's not his, putting it before himself.  Even the solos seem perfectly placed, in service to the song over just wankynoodlecraft.

ripped cd layer from the Weezer Blue MFSL SACD that arrived today.

 

on the one hand, i think it's quieter.  on the other, it may be brighter.

 

some of the miked string picking sounded wonky, but now i can't remember if it's always been like that.  doubt it though, since it stood out.

Punch Brothers -- The Phosphorescent Blues

Good stuff. The banjo player, Noam, is the son of my wife's former colleague at Cook County Hospital Ambulatory Care. He's a nice, though slightly neurotic and obsessive Jewish guy who used to drive his son across town to the Chicago Old Town School of Folk Music for banjo lessons. He would also drive him all over the state while his son won all kinds of banjo playing contests and awards. Some say he's the best banjo player in the world. Edited by jvlgato

^^^ Have it but haven't yet listened, will need to do so soon.

 

I've been on female vox/poppy kick recently:

 

The Vespers - Sisters And Brothers

Susanne Sundfor - 10 Love Songs

Kirsty MacColl - All I Ever Wanted (still mourn her loss every time I hear a song by her!)
