There is just nothing better than a choir, particularly one which is a bit dirty and sexy. Admittedly, I have been known to seek them out in church just to feel my heart still beating.

Enjoy the music.

Iced Earth. Pretty amazing this Album never made it into the charts.

After that I´ll listen to "Painkiller", which is the best, in my opinion, by good ol Judas Priest...

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Odessa, by Golem. Get your Eastern Bloc party hats out.

 

[valentius borealis]

Jeffrey Lewis - Back when I was 4

I remember seeing him live when he was supporting Darren Hanlon down here a few years ago. The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane has since been a favourite of mine.

Here's what I'll be doing at Easter. I have some decisions to make.

[Dazed and Confused]

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers with his 'Damn The Torpedoes' album from '79.

A fine American rock musician with a solid album.

Good quality stream.

 

[achenk01]

of course music with a fast beats

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown's compilation album 'pressure cooker' from '85. A bunch of recordings from the '70s I believe. Quite a few things are in play here, just as Mr Brown wanted it, hell I even think he would somehow accept some people streaming his music. Anyway a marvelous musician and a multi instrumentalist with some strong opinions. A rough vinyl version here, but the stream is in good quality.

Early B doing "One Wheel Wheelie"....if you listen closely
at about 0:14 and 3:24 he gives a nod to Jamaican track
cyclists "David Weller and Xavier Miranda" for their
"Olympic Bronze and Commonwealth Silver."

Don't know why...... but I've had this song stuck in my head lately:

Lightning Seeds - Three Lions (Football's Coming Home)

Also listened today to

Fatboy Slim - The Joker (he was into kittens way before anyone had ever thought of kittens becoming viral on the internet)

 

[Christian]

Oh, and remember this one?? Fifa '97 FTW!!!

Fatboy Slim - Rockafeller Skank (Check it out NOW)

I actually had the chance to see him live last year.... and went home after Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchetra (which were great)

One day, baby.... when I'll have money, I'll buy a vinyl record player. Who here has one??

 

[King Boonen]

Well... Me...!


I personally don't buy the "vinyl sounds better" line many people spout. I've A/B'd vinyl with FLAC files and can't hear a difference on some pretty expensive gear, my Dad is an audiophile, my gear is low end in comparison. If you want to improve the sound of your music a decent amp, good speakers and a good external DAC system are all you really need. Or decent headphones.

I like vinyl because of the product, gate-fold albums with artwork that you actually want to sit and look at, and because they force you to listen to the album the way the artist intended, with tracks in the order intended. I like having music on my phone, it's great, but I like to be able to sit back and properly listen to music. Vinyl is more of an event

You can get a decent turntable pretty cheap these days, Pro-Ject and Rega are worth a look. Remember you'll probably need a phono-stage.
