Once again: what are you listening to now?

[Alex2507]

I need to pick up Kick on CD or something. I only have it on vinyl and don't currently have a turntable.

If you get a chance to ever compare the vinyl to CD please get back to me with your thoughts. Like I said, I don't always find it to be the case but on vinyl Mystify just does something to me. In particular the key strikes of the piano, the echoey finger snaps, and even the vocals have this crisp towel snap there and gone quality that I have no idea how to describe. I think it's the lack of compression but that's just a guess.

The whole TT thing has been my pleasure but this borders on being so wildly excellent that I can't really begin to explain it without sounding ridiculous. Never Tear Us Apart is probably the bigger hit ... great sax and back up vocals on that if you pay attention. I gotta take this album to a friend's place so I can crank the snot out of it. Being a condo dweller with a conscience is murdering my spirit. F^%&!

Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall

Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall (live) on CD.

This is a must have for any jazz fan. Apparently this was just sitting in a box since recorded in 1957 until an employee of the Library of Congress found it in 2005.
Well worth the wait.

Another CD that plays with imaging.

Buddy Guy

Buddy Guy - Living Proof on CD.

At 74 years young, Buddy Guy is still killing it. This is a great CD. The Cd just rocks. At a minute 1.32 in this video, Buddy shows why he is truly the one of the greatest blues guitarists ever.

This is so unlike anything Nick Cave has done. It's a double CD called White Lunar, music from several movies including the downest movie ever made that was worth seeing, The Road. The music from The Road is completely different from Cave's punk derived music either with the Bad Seeds or Grinderman. Music from The Road is quite, slow, somber chamber-like music. The Road is a movie that takes root in your nightmares, haunts you and when you hear the music, it comes back.

I always thought they were a little too poppy for me, but nevertheless, I can't claim that I don't like them.

I agree. I like Blue October better. But, there are some good tracks on the new MCR CD.
