Whats playing on your system today?

The Ides of March  "Vehicle".  I cannot recommend this lp highly enough! If you like Chicago or Blood Sweat & Tears, and on one song, "Factory Band" there's even a John Fogerty vibe.....  you need to search this one out. Jim Peterik has one of the great rock voices! A great cover of "Wooden Ships" as well. It would make a great record show find. Actually, that's where I found my copy over 20 years ago.

arcam88,

Just listened to Wishbone Ash "Live Dates/Vol II". I could not be more pleased! Not only with the music but the SQ and the set list.

Mahler 7th symphony, Barenboim cond. Great performance. Gives it much more coherence than other versions I've heard. Also Bruno Walter cond. Bruckner 9th. very mellow. For a bonus, a mix I made of adagios from Beethoven string quartets. 
God bless the great composers and performers. And thanks to the folks who make the systems we listen to.

Anyone who appreciates progressive rock should enjoy this!😎

Listen with headphones if possible

@reubent  - "Tuned in" Rado Paradise for a little bit last night.  Immediately hearing some different stuff (e.g., Shearwater) and not the same tired old classic rock.  You are right about Bill G having a great voice for radio.  Thanks again for the recommendation.  Will be revisiting the station soon.

@ghosthouse - Radio Paradise doesn't really have on-air personalities or much commentary. It does have the owners - Bill and Rebecca Goldsmith, who personally curate the music and provide a bit of commentary.Bill was a radio DJ for many years, and a radio station manager. He has a great voice for radio and a very soothing delivery.

What it does offer is an eclectic mix of rock, folk, singer/songwriter, alt-country, Americana, pop, jazz and classical music. They do an excellent job of transitioning from one song, to the next. Sometimes the music flows for hours on end.

I too miss the great radio stations of the past. Radio Paradise fills the void. And then some......

Hey arcam88 - A big AMEN to that!  (tried to @ ya but it wasn't working).

@reubent - Don't know Radio Paradise but certainly interested in checking it out.  The Aries Mini provides access to internet radio.  It's unexplored territory for me.  Have to say I do miss the great FM stations from when I lived on the east coast.  Does RP have DJ's...i.e. radio personalities with some reasonably intelligent commentary?  Either way, thanks for the recommendation

ghosthouse,
In my opinion Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Lovin'You" is one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded and definitely one of my favorites.
It will always sound fresh!😎

I’m listening to Radio Paradise (again!) tonight. Honestly, if broadcast radio was this good, I’d have to get a tuner again. Do you guys listen to RP internet radio? It’s friggin’ awesome IMHO. I have my little Raspberry Pi music streamer/renderer playing it at low volume 24X7 in my basement listing room. I’ll drop in at 7am, lunch, after work and late at night just to hear what they are playing. I absolutely love their eclectic mix.

BTW, playing right now of RP - THE classic screamin’ guitar jam - "Big Country".

@ghosthouse , I thought this was folk music. But anyway, I liked the music. Wiki page indicates that it is Lucinda Williams on this album. Will check out other albums by Allen and see if I like them.

Hey @milpai - found that Human Remains on the Spot. Pretty fussy about the country I listen to but his songs are strong. Guy is kinda John Prine & Kris Kristofferson with a little Randy Newman thrown in. Can’t be a bad thing. Do I hear Lucinda Williams doing harmony vocals? Pretty sure I do. Another good thing.

Interesting guy as per the bio in Wikipedia...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Allen_(artist)

Led Zeppelin III - "Since I've Been Loving You". Sounds great and still fresh 47 years down the road.

Spinning Jennies - "Full Volume: The Best of....".  Crank it UP.

Terry Allen- Human Remains
I am hearing this on Spotify through my Bluetooth receiver, and it is so musical. On Song 6 right now and this CD has been ordered from Amazon.

+1 for Montrose, Jump On It. Great Albumn, and what a cover.

nutty & reubent,
Yes I remember the "Wild Man's theme song!
And yes "Blow Your Face Out" is a great live album!😎

nutty,

I put on the Thiumph lp,  half way through the first song... I felt I was listening to rock only for rock's sake. Not good!

I put on Montrose "Jump On It".

What a difference an lp makes!

I remember thinking 3 decades ago, how I thought that this lp was sort of "out there".

I was wrong. DAMN GOOD!

Happy listening.

Cueing up The National "Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers"! (lp)

Have a great on all..........

arcam88,
Wildman Walker, one our local WEBN DJ's spent 61 day camping on a billboard protesting until the Cincinnati Bengals won a game. Without showering! He is currently on a different station but still uses that song as his intro into his sports segment. I always loved this song, https://youtu.be/gW0hxbrmFhM
(It contains the live intro)

slaw,
Triumph has a ton of great media. Along with Allied Forces -Rock & Roll Machine, Just a Game and Progressions of Power are all fantastic. And lets not forget the 1976 S/T that included such great songs as "Street Fighting Man" and "Blinding Light Show" https://youtu.be/YPrBdXASlMI
Enjoy the vinyl! It’s golden.

..and speaking of Triumph...

nutty,
I just cleaned my lp copy of "Allied Forces", will put it on today.

Happy listening.

reubent,

I tip my hat to you sir... finding a clean/nice copy of that (lp) is a major triumph!...maybe I'll get one of mine out today. hum???

Nutty, Arcam88,

Funny you should mention J Geils Band. Last week I just received a really nice copy of the double live LP "Blow Your Face Out". Great stuff. House Rockin......

toddverrone,

yes it is. I have her debut album too and it is good too. Completely different than Memories are now though. Its funny because I bought it while looking through the record store and the cover had a quoye from Tom Waits on it about her style.....so I bought it.

Turns out she was Tom Waits kids nanny......he surely has an influence on her :-) I like the way she sings and writes.

@photodusty I heard that is an amazing album.. I'll have to check!

Jesca Hoop - Memories are now.

Really good at the moment :-)
