The Dark Side of the Moon Redux.

I know, he's an arsehole who does himself no favours. And yet.

Mason Williams' Classical Gas played by John O'Connell - one of the few videos I've seen of it where it's played at the right tempo.

I followed that link and got sucked in to Ring Out Solstice Bells by Jethro Tull https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qcPS-J0HTg , first time this Christmas (season). What joy!

Sungazer and snarky puppy.
#1 son's drum teacher recommended as good drum tunes, he does like him some jazz though.

"Melodic terrorists" Snuff have released an acoustic album called Come And Have A Go If You Think You're Rachmaninoff.

Although this surprising venture proves they can play (fans already knew that) the original thrash recordings often have more pathos. Anyway, I still want the loud version of Take Me Home (Piss Off) at my funeral, because it's one of only two songs that can make me cry.

Had Bill Bruford's “One Of A Kind” album from 1979 played at us at dinner time. Jazz-rock arse. Not recommended.

New Peter Gabriel album. Better than I expected.

Goddaughter asked me where to start listening to Bowie. Talk about Sophie's choice!
Currently listening to BTWN (no, I suggested Scary Monsters or Heathen).

Brand new vinyl Metallica - Metallica (Also known as the Black Album).
Love the other singles and a couple of the also rans, but... "Nothing Else Matters" just totally blew me away. The quality of this track, on this album, is amazing. To me it compares equally to Stairway to Heaven.

Star Resistant - no fewer than thirty tracks of yummy stoner goodness from grizzled desert rock veterans Dali's Llama.

Blew the cobwebs away this morning with three classics, streamed:

Stairway to Heaven (coincidental given JefOs mention above)
Paint It, Black
The House of the Rising Sun (The Animals version)

I had a couple of new-to-me CDs to give their first listen:

Who Killed The Zutons by The Zutons
The Vaccines by The Vaccines

Those were both lively and enjoyable.
Now lunchtime has finally arrived, I figured it's about time the phono stage on the new receiver was tested. Broken Machine by Nothing But Thieves is a good a test as any.

No More Heroes - The Stranglers
Stand By Me - Ben E King
Come Together - The Beatles
Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes
The Chain - Fleetwood Mac
Enter Sandman - Metallica
Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
Another One Bites The Dust - Queen
All Day and all of the Night - The Kinks

All the above played in my head while knocking the strings about a bit on my bass guitar, and trying to make sense of the bits of paper.

Today I are mostly not listening to “just one more song before going off to Do Stuffs” because the next one DJ Random has cued up is the 27-minute version of Dazed And Confused off “The Song Remains The Same”.

rogerzilla · « **Reply #5816 on:** 21 December, 2023, 09:21:59 am »

Similar to Mr Larrington, I'm listening to Physical Graffiti. The first half is rifftastic. Not a big fan of the whimsical second half, except "Sick Again".
