[Black Swan]

cool!

 

[Johannes]

Yes, I like it too. At first I thought this has some major hipster-alert on it, but it's a really smooth cover I think.

 

[Black Swan]

a little of this ...

Damn, they are not bad. Four sisters. There appears to be some talent in the family.

Very sad news about the death of Andy Fraser in March, this following Jack Bruce's death October last year, two fantastic bassists/songwriters
R.I.P.

21st century ragamuffin style!

When I heard the first LL Cool J record a million years ago I thought, "Damn, this guy has more lyrics in one song than most people have on an entire album." Which is kind of the same thing I thought when I heard this track from Stephen Marley's son (Bob's grandson) Jo Mersa.

And this.

Wtf? :D

 

[hoochmonkey9]

I suddenly like Metallica.

I'm sure the guitar player gets most of the attention (perhaps deservedly so) but that drummer is seriously solid.

By 100 miles, the drummer is the musician in that band and the bass player will have carpal tunnel in her right wrist by the time she's 15 with that technique.

One of my great finds from Record Store Day

 

[PhillyDave]

Going to see the Waterboys tonight at an old venue with great acoustics, The Keswick Theatre. First a few beers & a bacon burger at the tavern across the way. Always a real good time. [This video is unavailable.]

What it's really like to work in a music store.

 

[Johannes]

I discovered this composer just recently. He only got 20 (!) years old. Wrote this stuff at 17. He got compared to Mozart a lot. Incredible harmonies and melodies, imho.

 

[mjp]

Not entirely sure what to make of this. Other than there was a lot of cocaine in Hollywood in 1977...

[This video is unavailable.]

 

[PhillyDave]

maybe that explains what happened to Michael's nose.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Forgive the pops and clicks, this is the only version of this one I could find.

Edited to add: And there are skips near the end. Bugger.

 

[mjp]

Forgive the pops and clicks [...] skips near the end.

I think you meant, "Forgive the warmth."

 

[Purple Stickpin]

I am in the process of ugrading my turntable. I am in for a world of hurt, but I'm going to do it nonetheless. Let me go on record as stating that I am doing this because I want to give it a go, not because I am in the camp of "vinyl is better," or any other nonsense.

 

[mjp]

Well, you have a lot of options, anyway. They still make good turntables, and the older ones will all do the job too. Thanks to the resurgence in vinyl it's a lot easier to buy a good turntable these days than a good CD player.

If you favor the older stuff (and you don't mind watching and waiting for a month or two), this guy sells good refurbished equipment. A lot of things can go wrong with a turntable, so if you buy an older used one it's best to get one that's been gone over and tuned up.
