Whats playing on your system today?

marty/ghost et al;
peter holsapple in particular is one of the greatest under-recognized songwriters ever; cursed, unfortunately, by bad lungs--he's a non-singer. if you can, find his "out my way", a remarkably strong set of tunes which probably sold about 75 copies (i assume marty was one of the purchasers). for the uninitiated, the dbs first two records are stone, time-capsule quality classics; among the best 80s records. goddamn.

Hi Loomis - Always value your input.  Thanks for the info about Holsapple and the dBs.  There is some Holsapple/Stamey on Spotify and also the dBs first two:  Stands for Decibels & Repercussion.  Got the cans on listening to Stands for Decibels right now.

You betcha Loomis,

I believe that I own everything that Holsapple has participated in; DB records, solo album, duet with Stamey, and Continental Drifters.  I also tried to make it a point to catch his nightly (?) shows in a little dump (can't recall the name) whenever I visited New Orleans when he lived there.  

As to his lack of pipes, I had to laugh at your observation.  He's exactly like me - he won't even try to hit a pitch.  He just kinda mumbles his way thru songs.....just like me!  It may not impress many folks, but at least it spares embarassment.

My Morning Jacket / It Still Moves
My Morning Jacket / Acoustic (Live)
My Morning Jacket / Chocolate and Ice
My Morning Jacket / Evil Urges
My Morning Jacket / Z
David Bowie / Scary Monsters

I don't typically listen to that much of the same band at one time (I actually only listened to one side of each :-), but they sounded so good tonight. Then David Bowie reminded me why I got into high end audio in the first place. I bought that album shortly after it came out and it still sounds wonderful, especially at high levels. 

Deadmau5...but my listening is all over the board...Laurie Anderson...Dire Straits...Nine Inch Nails...Martyn Bennett...Aphex Twin...Roxy Music....Nilsson...Little Feat...The Art of Noise....Randy Newman...Fred Neil...Blue Rodeo....Stabbing Westward...The Tubes...things you'd recognize...things you won't....

One hit wonders...remixes of a single selection, just for 'comparison's sake' (Sneaker Pimps' "6 Underground" is a good example)...LOUD...soft...complex...simple...

Sorry, not much in the way of 'dead white Europeans', although it's appreciated that all stands upon their shoulders.  But I/we do go to the symphony when something of interest is on the bill.  That's always better 'live', as was always intended for the form....

I like variety in my diet. ;)
