Whats on your turntable tonight?

RFS, obviously you 'get it' about the Lips, and might enjoy checking out the thread I mentioned, and I'd be glad if you felt moved to contribute, it's been dormant for a while now. I've been waiting for AWWTM to sink in for a while longer before I commented there -- slowly I've been easing up some in my opinion of it lately. Not that I thought it was terrible or anything, or very surprising either -- no one can be expected to climb forever at the heights these guys had been scaling recently.

Pink Floyd's Animals, Joy Divisions Substansce, and Budgie's Never turn your back on a friend.

james gang "Rides Again"

Chet and Lester, Lionel Johnson+ Big Joe Williams w/ Bob Dylan playing harmonica+ Spivey and..., The Animals, Miles, Seven Come Elleven

I pulled out my old copy of Jade Warrior "Floating Worlds". I don't think I've played it in 20 years. It's got surprising dynamics and a really deep soundstage. Some nice melodies and rythms too.

I also scored 3 albums from Modern Jazz Quartet on ebay last week - 3 albums for $8 including shipping. They're all mint and sound great - "Under the Jasmine Tree", "Best of MJQ"; "Live at the Lighthouse". what a deal.

Finally Bert Jansch "Rosemary Lane" also an excellent recording, and great music all through.
