Reply #403 - 05/12/25 at 03:03:13 YouTube turned me on to Dave Alvin, who has become a favorite. Later, I found out that he and his brother Phil were in The Blasters in the 80’s. This is a really great album!

Reply #404 - 06/02/25 at 21:54:44 Streaming KSFR radio today they played a track off a Bad Plus album covering Stravinksy’s Rite of Spring. I didn’t know this existed so of course I had to go back and listen to the whole album. Worth checking out if you are a Stravinsky fan, Bad Plus fan, or both… or even just a music lover.

Just received this a few days ago. Awesome mixing etc. both 2 channel and surround. We have listened to this one a LOT in just a few days through the Zen. Amazing!!

And Geno. we've had that Spirit title for years (cd version). Love it! And of course Jethro Tull!, including almost all of the book sets. Steven Wilson mixes are always incredible

MM Seasoned Member Online Posts: 524 Olympia, WA	Re: What Have You Been Listening to lately??? Reply #411 - 09/19/25 at 03:58:28 I first heard the Idles on an NPR tiny desk video years ago. They were so laughable and ridiculous that I couldn’t help watching… and catchy enough to keep my attention. Fast forward-> I really enjoy them. Another of their albums “Crawler” is good too.

MM Seasoned Member Online Posts: 524 Olympia, WA	Re: What Have You Been Listening to lately??? Reply #413 - 09/24/25 at 23:58:32 Decware amps never cease to amaze me. I haven’t listened to this for 20 years, and hearing it today like it’s the first time. First time I’m hearing every instrument tracked, settled in its own little place in space. Never would have considered this a great recording but love what I’m hearing.

I stumbled on a young musician named Hudson Freeman this week. He has some albums on Qobuz; a new album in 2025 that isn’t recorded very well but good music. I expect he will be blowing up. Very talented.

Here’s a link to a film documenting his graduation performance from music school. Much other of his music available if you do a search for it.

Reply #417 - 01/30/26 at 16:06:12 My 300b is en route for repairs and I am listening to today’s new releases on my old super hot-rodded UFO this morning, just loving what I am hearing. Enjoying Isle Peaks by Bitchin Bajas at the moment. Life is good.

I have been following some good discussions in the forums about gear but my interest is primarily in the music. Friday is one of my favorite days for listening through all the week’s new releases. Unfortunately, today is a hum-drum day for new releases. Thank goodness for radio. Santa Fe’s KSFR came to the rescue with a great set this afternoon.

Reply #420 - 02/14/26 at 03:43:36 I listened to the first few tracks on that, Lon, and it didn’t do anything for me. Just one of those days I guess. I might like it next week. I finally settled into a set of New Orleans march. The tubas were what I needed.

Reply #421 - 02/14/26 at 09:13:42 Well, I think in general we like different music. I have all her previous releases and this holds up for me. It's my kind of vibe. And the cd sounds beautiful on my system.
