What Are You Listening To?

Parliament -Tear the Roof Off 1974-1980





A 3 lp Simply Vinyl set of their best stuff, including live versions. Great sound quality, very quiet and a good transfer, IMO. I always use "Aqua Boogie" as one of the songs I'll play for people who haven't heard SDA's.

How's that Tori Amos album? I've been thinking about picking it up.

Darla, it’s typical Tori Amos with the same type of piano sound and the same cadence in her voice. It’s a bit less spastic than some of her other releases. Some have said the production is a bit stripped down and sparse, I would agree (a good thing). It’s certainly a bit more upbeat and aggressive than her last release “The Bee Keeper”. In the grand scheme of Tori, you can’t mistake it for being her but at the same time it’s a bit gentler than earlier angst driven stuff.

If you are a casual fan or hardcore fan I recommend it. A solid 3.5 out of 5 IMO.

Spoon Gimme Fiction

Looking forward to getting their new album.

Pink Floyd, "Wish You Were Here;" LP Columbia, JC 33453

Simply breathtaking and definitely an SDA showcase. . . now onto Animals!:D

[hearingimpared]

Pink Floyd, "Animals;" LP Columbia JC 34474

It's amazing how on a lesser rig or the radio, the dogs sound like dogs. On a better rig you realize the dogs sounds are instruments and electronically done.

Another great SDA showcase.

[hearingimpared]

Spirit: "The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus"; LP
Epic Records 1970 PE 30267 Really good recording.


This is one of my all time favorite LPs, it is a complete album. It has a little bit of everything in it and tells a story.

Awesome SDA showcase.

[hearingimpared]

Pink Floyd, "The Wall;" Double LP Columbia PE2 36183

I heard detail tonight I never heard clearly before such as, at the end of "Nobody Home" side 3, I clearly heard Gomer Pyle yelling, "surprise, surprise, surprise.":D

Listening to this while watching my White Sox blow another damn lead.

just opened a sealed pressing of The Lonesome Jubilee by John Mellencamp

Ooooo I never had this on CD... but a friend gave me this sealed vinyl and i'm digging it hard. Wow.. this has got to be his at least 2nd or 3rd top album. It really rocks and captures him at the height of his career.

most excellent recording.

vinyl lovers, get yourself a sealed copy and sit back and rock out and enjoy.

Wilco Sky Blue Sky

Listening again and this is quite a piece of work. Not everyones cup of tea, but certainly a bunch of artsy musicians.

Varied sound quality also. Some sound like a studio production and others sound like a basement production, but I guess that is the artsy cool thing to do.

Sinead O'Connor - The Lion & The Cobra



Rummaging thru the audio closet and I uncovered this gem. Can't believe I overlooked this cd for so many years. Great stuff!

Sugarcubes - Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week



Another blast from the past. Bjork in her early days. I saw them once in concert and it was quite.....er.....ummm...weird!

Cool. I really like Tori. Thanks:)

Electric Light Orchestra; "Greatest Hits," LP

I can't get enough ELO!

[hearingimpared]

Talking Heads; "Sand in the Vaseline, Popular Favorites" Box set CD

If you like one song by THs then this collection of 33 songs is a must. Great notes too for a CD. Very well engineered.

[danger boy]

there isn't really anything else to say about this great album, but that it's even better on DVD-Audio. The extra space afforded on a dvd format really helps the dynamics to open up and sound's excellent.

Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage Acts I,II&III

[W WALDECKER]

Tori Amos-A PIANO the collection.a great five disc boxed set of excellent recordings.

Billy Joel Glass Houses LP

[heiney9]

Sinead Lohan - No Mermaid

There are some catchy tunes on here. A slight cross between Sinead O'connor and Dolores O'Riordan from the Cranberries. Nothing in particular stands out, but some great beats and nice pop sensibility. Sounds good on SDA's and while the recording isn't stellar there's enough quality to make it enjoyable. The drums are electronic. Sort of reminds of late "80s new wave music.

Melissa Ferrick is touring with Ani Difranco so I wanted to get familiar with her stuff.

This is an amazing CD:

[candyliquor35m]

Bob James - Foxie - 1983 on vinyl. Not the best album but I liked the album art and for $.50 it was worth it.

The Righteous Bothers Go Ahead and Cry LP

[JimBRICK]

after the goldrush, neil young

all time favourites



If you dont own these 2 cd's you really should get them

I was just listening to Henry Rollins... Under the Bridge. I have heard of drums not being life like in speakers. I used to agree. I just had the crap scared out of me. I had it at a moderate level, and the drummer hit the snare with a technique where the stick hits the rim, and the snare at the same time. It made me jump! Did I mention I am so Happy! Is jazz at the Pawn shop similar to this? If it is I must have.
