Whats on your turntable tonight?

There has been for many years a Great Blue Heron print in our listening room and most years a nesting Heron in the big Fir just outside - I always wonder IF my music bothers them….

Only when you play that Spyro Gyra…

Or Phish 

Stopped into my favorite LRS today to find about 8 boxes of recently acquired  vinyl just inside the back door:

 “Mike I know you haven’t had a chance to sort through these yet, but do you mind if I take a look?”

“Sure, if you see anything that I need to get on the floor right away just pull it out and I’ll price it. Anything you want just make me an offer.”

Can’t remember the last time I left there with more than a half dozen records, but I did today.

Just to name a few. Currently listening to Woody Guthrie Bound for Glory

Today...

P.J. Harvey  'To Bring You My Love'  Coincidental that the comment on distortion sounding undistorted came after I had played that album today.  It's really amazing how the overmodulation on the microphone, which is highly distorted (only intended so, and only on some of the songs) can sound so darn good.

Triumvirat  'Illusions On A Double Dimple'  Has any of you ever heard of this group?  I bought this shortly after acquiring my first audio system, in 1973.  A year later I bought their second album, titled "Spartacus".  They really play on the Emerson Lake & Palmer sound/style.  Not as good as ELP, but fun nonetheless.  It sounds very dated, and the SQ is just so so, but it brought back some cool memories of my first year in college.

Camel  "The Snow Goose'  A few others have posted recently on this band, Camel.  So, I thought to break out the one that I have, give it a clean, and spin it.  A nice listen, no doubt.

Steely Dan  'Gaucho'  Darn good album.  Can't get enough of the Dan.
