Old Man Riva Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 XTC. This is a BBC session of a track from the Oranges & Lemons LP. Colin Moulding on vocals and (wonderful) Wal bass. I really dig this version as I think it sounds more airy than the album version, and the overall band performances feel slightly looser… That said, both are fabulous! 2 Quote

Dad3353 Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Clarinet Concerto -Elliot Carter... A rather difficult listen, being unfamiliar with the Carter concepts. It may (but only may...) help by seeing the actual performance, which apparently involves the clarinet soloist moving from place to place within the disposition of the unusual-formed orchestra. Wanting to open my ears to more contemporary classical music, I'm not sure just how far from my current bases I'm prepared to venture. Life is short; the jury is out. 1 Quote
paul_5 Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Revisiting Macy Gray’s superb ‘on how life is’ album. Every track is killer! Also, it helps to drown out the navvies execrations - they’re digging up the road again. Edited October 19, 2023 by paul_5 1 Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 A vid I made for my occasional band... Quote
Dad3353 Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Just an extract; how to sing like a bird whilst lying on the floor. More than a duet; there's tons of musicality in the score... Quote
smithy Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 To be honest- after 60 years on this planet I just happened to discover these guys. Blues rock at its best- addictive. I´m virtually blown away. 1 Quote
Dad3353 Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 Received a new (to me...) Yamaha A-520 amp today. Connected it up to my Electro-Voice Interface Series II speakers, so hearing a new (to me...) rendition of Schubert's Ninth. It's glorious, to hear it this way. My previous amp (Teac AG-H300...) is good, but the Yamaha puts out the wattage needed to drive these speakers as they require. Full-fat trombones..! What's not to like..? (No, s'not just a case of phonic volume; it's the whole musical spectrum that comes alive, at all listening levels ...). 1 Quote
lemonstar Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 Orwell's 1984 audiobook read by Peter Capaldi - he's a good choice what with his great diction, gravitas and a mix of panic, menace and barely contained resentment in his voice. Quote
lemonstar Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 I'm not going to draw any firm conclusions about the new Blur album after only a couple of days listening. Most of the tracks feel to me like tracks at the back end of an album AFTER you've heard the best 5-6 tracks - more like the embers of a late night camp fire on a beach... no graffiti aerosol cans exploding in the fire. Like new shoes - takes a while to wear them in. Quote
