Last night my 13 year old son picked Bob Dylan's "Down in the Groove." When I asked him why, he said it looked cool. 1400 LPs to choose from and he ends up with that one!?! Of course I told him no CDs prior to the Dylan choice. I enjoyed it, but I can't get over the process.

Linkoping....Nice choices....some of my favorite stuff.

Sir John -Tumbleweed Connection on Uni

Rush, have you heard any of the Decca recordings of Wagner with Solti conducting? For many years his recording of the Ring (and the annual visitation from the Met) were in many ways a penultimate audio experience for me. It took me years to finally locate originals...

Tonight is Arvo Part's Tabula Rasa. Not ECM's best recording, but the performance is spooky.

Musique Arabo-Andalouse - harmonia mundi (France) - who else?? but the Atrium Musicae - nothing else need be said.

and for some chillage- A Strangly Isolated Place by Urlich Schnauss
