Whats on your turntable tonight?

Finally, some great shared music while driving experience…one very memorable..coming out of Canada after a long week of fishing together ( with no music ), the Indy College radio station in Bellingham was playing a Train album straight thru….. First time we had heard Train…..hooked us both…..

almost forgot…we also in a very mutual way support musical arts by hosting a house concert most years and a recording studio / production company - great couple, great artists and they have a very high plowback ratio, Engineer sound guy has helped produce pro bono something like 6 - 10 albums during COVID. Patreon is a good thing…..

Now, a question for the group. How much does your spouse/significant other appreciate what you listen to? Me, well, my wife isn't very impressed with things like Reagan Youth or Dead Kennedys or even Boards of Canada. But most classical and especially flamenco gets her attention.

My girlfriend loves music, but her tastes are a little more "mainstream" than mine, mostly west coast 60's and 70's rock.  She likes the way my system sounds, but doesn't really care about the details.  I know what she likes to listen to and it overlaps what I enjoy, so I usually stick to things that we both enjoy.  I don't bust out Excision or Cecil Taylor when she comes over.

Polly Jean Harvey - To Bring You My Love - Demos

Good discussion regarding the wife. She tolerates my hobby and often encourages/accompanies me to our LRS. She will look at vintage(read hippie) clothing, while I peruse records. Her ears perk up to Joni Mitchell, CSNY, or Neil Young, but her interests do not wander far from the stuff we both liked when we met in the 70's. She will watch TV if I wander off the reservation.(which is most of the time). My excitement over a bargain bin find, or sonic excellence is met with "meh". In light of that, tonight:

Neil Young
Harvest
Reprise 1972
Original release. My copy might qualify as a white hot stamper.despite hundreds of plays. And yes, she is grooving to it.
