What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Finally got the chance to sit down for a listen (10/10/13). Started with Prefuse 73/Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives. Not for the uninitiated, but really fun if you like this Blip Hop type stuff.

Moved onto Blonde Redhead/Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons. Not sure how to label this band but they are indeed an alternative to the radio and a fun listen. This one is recorded quite well too.

Next up was The Dirty Projectors/The Gettysburg Address. This is not for the faint of heart but for those that like a little something different, it is a real gem. It is a themed piece that is a bit comedic in its tongue-n-cheek delivery.

Ended this listening session with The Flaming Lips/The Soft Report. This is a gigantic achievement for this band and is well worth a listen. For those who are not familiar with the Lips, this is a good way to check them out.

Had time for a two discs today. They were Blue Sky Black Death/Noir and Grizzly Bear/Veckatimest. I bought both of these three or four years ago. The BSBD disc is fun but after nearly finishing it I think it’s time to let it go. That’s how I felt about the GB release too. I guess I can’t make every purchasing decision a keeper. Oh well. Hopefully tomorrow s listening session will be more fruitful.

On Willie Nelson, I have really enjoyed seeing him play solo on cable TV with just his well-used guitar. He has a real knack for that style. Don’t know if there is an album of that stuff, but if there is and somebody can clue me in, I’d love to check it out. The studio albums I’ve heard were too produced and I just didn’t enjoy them. Anyway, thanks for any comments on Willie. The minority report rocks!
