Whats on your turntable tonight?

On the wives subject we had  a lot of the same interests growing up with the music from 60’s and 70’s that she still likes but her tastes now lean more towards top 40 stuff like Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars that she primarily listens to with ear buds at the gym. When I’m listening to music she will come into the room and sit down for maybe 15 minutes but that’s usually about it. She has other interests which is fine. We had dinner with a few friends this weekend and after dinner we will usually head to a music room for conversation and good music. I was playing Natalie Merchant’s Ophelia and mentioned that we had seen her in a small venue on her Leave Your Sleep tour and what a great show it was. My wife’s comment was that we had to sit on folding chairs. As Steve Earle would say. Nuff said.

@tgilb my wife and i both adore Natalie, her birthday we caught her in San Fran at the Warfield….freaking awesome

hope they play Bleezers Ice Cream at my funeral…. from Leave Your Sleep….

ya man 

Natalie is definitely one of my favorites and I would love to see her again if she were to tour.

Tim, did you get the Domino re-release of "m b v" or the original self release version from 2013?

I rather accidentally ended up with an original 2013 version in a gatefold jacket which contained the vinyl plus the CD. 

The interesting thing is, in the liner notes, Kevin Shields went to the trouble of listing both the mastering engineers, vinyl and digital.

Kevin's intent with this version appears to demonstrate the difference in sound when the original 2" 24 track analog master tape (they recorded on a Studer A827) was mixed down then mastered separately for analog vinyl and digital CD. 

Listening to the 2 versions of the same material is quite educational.
