Whats on your turntable tonight?

Finished "Still". Not sure why Jeff and Richard chose to work together other than maybe mutual admiration, but it's the standard, great RT record.

Glen Hansard "Between Two Shores" again. My pressing has this irritating scratchy noise on the last track of side two that I never took the time to address. Decided to today. Deep steam clean then long US clean. My feeling is it's the vinyl and not something that can be cleaned. Well, it's up next. Great album though!

I’ve never been obsessed with the Grateful Dead letting my mind go post toastee like a lot of my friends did, and I don’t think their musicianship triumphed over their drug use until those couple of albums they did in the mid-80s, but who cares - the songs are fun to listen to and sometimes really really cool with iconic instrumentation. Nothing like the sound of Garcia’s lead guitar, Weir could really get it on with that slide. And the songs.
Philosophically, well, I used to pride myself on my tie died ethics during the years on Wall Street when I had to wear a suit. But really they were nice songs. That kind of Americana.

I might agree with someone who thinks the rhythm section wasn’t the greatest. But again who cares, it wasn’t about virtuosity.

@spiritofradio,

I looked up the definition of paradiddle.

I learned something today! Thank you, now it’s up to me to retain it.

You were a Wall Streeter? Never would have known it brother.

I know.  The worst.  

The GH record has never sounded better as far as the "soul" it conveys. I give the Hydra 8 the props.
