🎧 The Nymark Collective with Kristin Asbjørnsen, "Bessie Smith Revisited". Ummm.....Norwegian improvisational vocalist backed by a jazz quartet (also from Norway) covering Bessie Smith songs at a Jazz festival in Oslo? Sure, that's a thing. I sent an email to Kåre Nymark in 2009 asking how to get this CD in the US. He emailed me back "I'm in Seattle - I will send you one if you buy my new album." Deal!

TFW the punchline writes itself.

After 10 years staring at that bland fireplace, we finally changed it.

🎧 Steely Dan, "Aja". My SO wanted a "vinyl corner" in our living room. I abandoned vinyl 20 yrs ago but my son has accumulated quite a collection, and we had a decent Stanton turntable in storage. She wanted to go minimalist so we ordered a pair of bookshelf speakers (surprisingly good bass!) and while everyone is out I got everything set up. The console in the pic is circa 1950's and needs serious re-wiring, but looks real nice in the space. Aja is a great test record.

🎧 The Clash, “London Calling”. Released 43 yrs ago today, and its bringing back some big waves of memory. I was still finding my musical self in Dec 79. The Wall had just come out but I couldn’t get into it. Then, the “record store guy” handed me this album. It was like “I think you’re ready for The Clash now”. This record helped me find a lot of new friends in junior high and a lot of new music too. And after 43 years, damn does it sound good.

Sounds legit.

It's metal, it weighs a ton, and it's awesome....

🎧 The Beatles, "The Decca Tapes". In honor of John, I decided to get WAAAAY back! The first official recording of "The Beatles", made on Jan 1 1962, as they auditioned for Decca Records, who famously passed saying "guitar groups were on their way out". They ran through an unprecedented 15-song set, recorded by a hungover producer named Mike Smith. If you want to hear what a Beatles live set sounded like before the screaming started, this is a good place to start.

🎧 Steely Dan, "Sony Studios/Jan 28-29 2000". Recorded in early 2000 during the Two Against Nature era, the rejuvenated Dan and a crack band navigate some of the new stuff and a dream set list of older songs. I recorded this off the PBS broadcast direct to high speed VHS (audio only) and then burned to CD. HMU if you want to add this to your collection. Track list in next post.

🎧 RUSH, "Red Stars (Playlist)". After talking with my fellow RUSH fans @Mfieck @BarnabasCollins earlier this week, I am going off-book for a bit and rocking one of my three RUSH playlists. Comprised mostly of latter day tracks, these songs still hit me in the musical and emotional feels. Peart was one my musical heroes, and I studied Geddy's bass lines for endless hours. I will never not have RUSH in my life.

This is a weird one but it happens about half the time. I am trying to post the text pictured below but everytime I hit the post button it doesn't take and the post button goes back to its blue state. Any ideas?
