No music yesterday morning, went on a great mountain bike ride instead. Once I got back home and was in "recovery" mode (read nice fat chubby carnitas burrito and some killer margaritas), I was in an old school mode. Some of the recent threads here got me pulling out the Genesis and Alan Parsons vinyl. "Trick of the Tail" and "Then There Were Three" by the former and "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" and "Turn of a Friendly Card" by the latter. Good stuff all around!

Some time ago you were sitting inches away from this stuff... such a pity we did not have the time to pull it out and spin it

Next time my friend - we will make more time to spend just relaxing about Villa Radu! That would be great!

This AM it's the gym class heroes-as cruel as school children. I have gotten hooked on this one!

Been a Sonny Rollins kind of Fathers Day this morning - "Our Man In Jazz" and my personal favorite "The Bridge", both on Classic 45 reissues. Nice!

Today it was two new albums on vinyl for me. Wilco - "Sky Blue Sky", which I think is their best yet. This was a half-speed mastered vinyl. Then, for something totally different I spun Patricia Barber - "Live A Fortnight in France", another incredible album from Blue Note Records. It's nice to listen to stellar performances on audiophile quality media. - Steve

If you haven't heard this, check it out

Title / Chants, Hymns and Dances.

Artists are Anja Lechner / violincello and Vassilis Tsabropoulos / piano. Music by Gurdjieff and Tsabropoulos.

ECM New Series 1888 / B0003036-02.

Absolutely engaging in a very simplistic but yet complex and mellow way. It's one of those magical CD's that you can listen to time and time again. Wonderful interplay between violincello and piano. Melodic and mesmerizing.

One of my "I need to listen to something that sooths the soul" CD's.

Very highly recommended.
