Hey, how about Tom Waits - Swordfish Trombone.

That's on the iPod, along with Frank's Wild Years and Mule Variations.  More music to listen to straight through.

In the disk changer most of the weekend.

Alan Parsons: Tales of Mystery and Imagination.
Engineer boy makes good on his first endevor.
There's more sound on this disk than most two disks combined.

Deep Purple: Machine Head
DVD Audio version has extreme dynamic range.  I don't know why Smoke on the water became so popular, Highway Star, Lazy, Maybe I'm a Leo all rock much better ...good stuff here even if they use more than three chords.

Chicago: Night and Day
Big band redux.  You can tell it's the Chicago horn section, otherwise, you wouldn't know who the group was.  Amazing guitar solo on Blues in the Night.

Little Feat: Waiting for Columus
One of the best damn sounding live albums.
Why did they edit out "Don't Bogart that Joint" on the CD?

Elton John: SACD Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
There's an outtake of Candle in the Wind that's "unplugged" and it'll send chills down yer neck.

tom doesn't listen to the radio anymore

Anything by this man:

2nd and 3rds on that one.  I only got to see him live once-incredible.

And since winter is coming don't forget "Don't eat the yellow snow"

[Evan Kirkendall]

Man a bunch of old people talking about old music.

This is nice.      

Funny thing is, my dad has most of the records mentioned and, yes Ive listened to them.

I know oldies. I mix them often.


Have a day.

With rare exception they stopped making good music after about '78.  

I take that back somewhat.  It ain't like it used to be.  
And some older dude will argue it was '68.
But I think that's what Andy was getting at.

Good to hear you listened to some of this stuff.
Being open minded and young is a rare advantage.

My kids listen to my stuff like they got a choice.

It may appear diluted because there's more channels blowing
poop 24x7 nowadays, but there's still good new stuff... maybe
not the ones lip syncing on SNL but they're out there.

The old stuff is special to us old farts because we weren't always
old...

The band is actually here tonight and they sound good so I'm throwing in to the pile these two albums -

Jethro Tull - Aqualung;  Thick As A Brick

Anything by this man:

Damn straight. It's strangely reassuring that there are still plenty of "Valley Girls" around...

Seriously though, my listening this past week has stretched from Puccini, through several Alison Krauss CDs, and all the way out to Mr Bungle.

I love them all.
