Just received my Psychedelic Furs Original Album Classics 5 CD set in the mail. All the original tracks of their first 5 albums, plus some bonus tracks. Nice pick-up for $17. I really haven't listened to these guys for years (my copies were all on vinyl). It's so much fun re-living the 80's (well, sometimes).


Loved the first couple of albums. Great songs like Into You Like a Train and Imitation of Christ. They went downhill after that imho.

I agree that they sounded like an entirely different group by the time Mirror Moves came out. They went from 6 in the original group, down to 3 with overdubs and "helpers", lost the sax, and lost the edginess.

The first three albums were definitely my favorites. Even so, I still enjoy the last 2 albums for what they are.

Paganini's Caprices. I have to remind myself the hissing noise I hear when i listen to this is the sound made by my brain cells popping... As an intermediate violinist, I cannot think of how passages of this are techniclly possible to play (like in the 1st one, for instance). A more succinct dispay of musical virtuosity i may never know. If anyone knows of any other recording, of any instrument, in the league of this, let me know and i'll buy it. This recording by Perlman.

Funny, I've really been into Floyd lately...even moreso than usual. Must be something in the air.

I'm assuming you'll be firing up Rattle & Hum on St. Patty's day? It's kind of a tradition now! Cool

It would only be fitting to play some U2 on St. Pattys!

Gig and I decided that it would be appropriate to only bring Irish wine:

I know a lot of people that were present at this one. If you haven't seen the dvd, you should. Athens is one of my favorite places in the world.

Were they waving at the caremas?!?! I'll put it on the list, thx, J-

Just got tickets yesterday to a Johnny Cash tribute concert here in April - Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, Ray LaMontagne, Kris Kristofferson, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, and many others. BIG Johnny Cash fan and with this lineup can't wait.


Nice, enjoy the show...I met Willie once; the guy is a head...!

What happened to act 1?


Not my favorite.

I tend to listen only to the acts I enjoy the most. Smile


Funny. I have a recording conducted by Carlos Kleiber and it has this funny footnote:

Warning: In the beginning of the second CD the first ten bars of Act III have been omitted since they were completely drowned out by the noise of an argument which had broken out among the audience.

I wondered whether you had a recording where a whole act was wiped out.

Paco de Lucia


I have to admit I'm not familiar with his music, however there is an amazing theater here that hosts him a couple times a year and in speaking with the owner I keep hearing how amazing he is. Need to catch the show next time...


VB, do not miss him next time.

I'm a huge fan on music from Spain and Argentina... check it out when you have a chance.

I need to get your T-Sip butt out of your comfort zone. Razz

Haydn, Op. 76, string quartets 4, 5 & 6


I was listening to the Op 33 quartets yesterday. I keep thinking about getting all the haydn quartets. Seems worthwhile.


It does, but like a complete set of mozart piano concertos, its hard to find time to listen to the whole thing, let alone remeber your favorite pieces without 'tasting notes.' But your right, after listening to the 'sunrise,' and being a lover of chamber music, I should have some more of his quartets and trios.

Wow - you listen to stuff with distorted electric guitars? Razz


Yeah, it's my favorite zeppelin record I think. I typically listen to rock in my car and classical at home. I forgot I had this on CD though and when I noticed it I decided to put it on.

Paco is amazing...its that throat-clearing, chain-smoking, banshee howl that ruins flamenco for me. After living in the south of Spain for a couple of years, i am nostalgic for Sevilliana, with Feria season getting underway. Alas, we have forsaken our Feria trip this year....Frown

Next up is Some Fleet Foxes I think.


Bon Iver

Check those out.




I love Andrew Bird (I saw him and the Decemberists at the Hollywood Bowl about five years ago now and it’s still one of my favourite concerts) and like what I’ve heard of Bon Iver. Thanks for the other recco’s though!

That is epic. You may still be able to purchase..it is a dick's pick's (dead.net. If sold out, its possible to find a dead download site, but it will most likely be from the tapers section, adn thus low quality.

Bach's cello suite by yo yo ma...this last week in the car for the commute, with my youngest. Since i have transcriptions for the prelude of # 1 for both violin and viola to learn, i was interested in what it looked like on the 'cello, so i pulled it up on youtube. When i did, my boy immediately bee-lined for the lap top, amazed, and so was i to see the power of what he had been listening to.

The only choice my lil' ball of clay will have is which instrument...I'm going to grab my Taylor and strum a few for him for more inspiration.

Classic.


Sheer greatness!


They just announced a summer date in one of the premier southeast outdoor venues. Normally, I don't fall for "the latest incarnation" but the Allmans lineup now is pretty amazing.

What Duane would have done had lived longer...an amazing talent. Did they let dickey back into the bad yet?
