Whats on your turntable tonight?

christmas gifts! 1) richard thompson "front parlour ballads" - stellar, stellar, stellar! 2) cat power "the covers record" - almost as mesmerising as she is in concert 3) dirty three "cinder" - quite good to my ears, i like 'em--chan marshall vocals on one track is icing on the cake 4) jack johnson "on and on" - can't recommend this one on vinyl, sounds pinched and forced (?compression). this is one that you're better off with the CD imho, sorry to say. love the music though.

Once again, Analog is the King. So beautiful and amazing:
- Kyung-Wha-Chung/ Bach/ Parita No.2 in D Minor/The Super Analogue Disc/London Sterephonic/Japanese pressing/1974 Recording.
All the 5 movement were just stunning. The string, strength, vibration of the string, every touch are there!
That's for tonight!

Tower of Power LIVE in Sacremento. One of the best live recordings I've heard.
Sultans of Swing
Mile's around The World
Michel Legrand. Excellent recording!

Happy New Year!

The Who - "Tommy" ; the version performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, et al. I sold my original copy while in College in the 70's, just purchased a new (ie used) copy complete with box, gatefold, and program. It's always been a favorite, and it's well recorded and a good vinyl pressing.

Gary Jules "Greetings from the Other Side", and "Trading Snake Oil for Wolftickets" (on cd - is it ok to discuss cd's in this thread?). I recently bought these after hearing his version of "Mad World" on an episode of "CSI". It's a haunting and beautiful song, and struck me like Jeff Buckley's "Halleluja" the first time I heard it. Both of these CD's are excellent all the way through - Songs, Performance, and sonics. . . . If you're not familiar with this guy you should check him out.

Linkoping, the Bach Parita No.2 in D Minor is sufficient to savor and enjoy for one evening. Thanks for sharing!
