So, what music are you listening to now?
 

David Crosby- If I Could Only Remember My Name. Favorite track is Cowboy Movie.
Next up is The Band-Last Waltz- Up on Cripple Creek

I don't know what it is. It's the radio and I'm half concious.

Dave

NPR, some kind of cool jazz.

Chas

Oh, you Commie pinko, listening to the "government run radio"....Woooooooo.....:p

Seriously, we have two NPR stations here, on Classical and one Jazz. It's all I ever listen to anymore. The rest is junk.

Dave

Here's my latest for the morning.

Great Northern Remind Me Where The Light Is 2009
Lady Antebellum ST 2008
The Mountain Goats Get Lonely 2006
Nils Lofgren Cry Tough 1976
The Mountain Goats Tallahasse 2002

I think I'm in a Classical mood for the evening.

Same for me, other I can pull in three or four more depending on the weather conditions.

The one I listen to won college station of the year, last year I think. University of Missouri is the classical one, only they pretty much play NPR news and some bullshit I call "Kitchen Klatter for Liberals" over and over all day. I don't mind hearing the liberal side of things, but I don't want to listen to reruns of it five times a day.

If it wasn't such a pain in the ass, I'd extend the mast on my Weinguard omni and pull some new shielded cable to my receiver.

Chas

Five disc changer?

Chas

BB King in concert with Dave Brubeck
Soul Coughing
Dixie Dregs
Ben Harper
Sobriquet

I've been running a Magnum Dynalab ST1 on the roof for years. Think it might be time for an ST2. Or maybe the Highly regarded Fanfare model? I also think I need to raise the mast another section or two.

How do you like the Weingard?

Dave

I've been listening to some new(er) music lately.

The Decemberists - The King is Dead
The Civil Wars - Barton Hollow
Gillian Welch - The Harrow and the Harvest
Vampire Weekend - S/T (my son's album. Catchy stuff.)

I have all of those except for Vampire Weekend. Thanks for a new band to follow. Catchy sums up Vampire nicely. There is quite a bit of little nuances happening in their songs.

Just five big discs. :D I use a dedicated computer to serve my flac files. I've thought of going back to vinyl, but I gave all my records away years ago and I'm too impatient to deal with a turntable.

It's pretty good for a cheap omni, will pull a couple of stations 70 miles out. I've got it mounted pretty low.

Remember years ago I had one of those round dial Pioneer super tuner AM/FM's in my truck. Depending on how I parked and weather conditions, I could pull Kansas City & St. Louis in with it. Either one is well over 100 miles in a straight line.

Actually, the best tuner I currently have is the one in my 1000A. It's only a three gang, and the sound quality isn't quite as good as my 717, but it pulls in an incredible amount of stations. It's been recalibrated and I replaced the nuvistors.

Bad thing is, unless I go with a directional and a rotor there still isn't shit to listen to, or perhaps I should say there's nothing to listen to but shit.

Chas

I still like the old rekkerd player. It's a game for cranks.

Chas

I have five of the dang things. I need to start thinning the herd, though.

Dave

Solveig's Song - Grieg. Fired up the CR-3020 and it is locked onto WBJC.

Van Morrison - Too Late to Stop Now - really makes me wish for an opportunity to see him live.

Regards,

D-Ray

Their music is an interesting combination of Indie Rock and the Soweto sound (made famous by Paul Simon's Graceland). Their second album, Contra, emphasizes the Soweto sound even more than the first.

I guess I am at an advantage as I live in the city. Some of the stations I listen to are only a few miles away. Unfortunately, it also means I have a greater selection of absolute crap to listen to.

Dave

This mornin' a little high energy blues!
Walter Trout- Unspoiled by Progress. BLUES with attitude!
The first track is 'The Working Class!' ,followed by Goin' Down........
He's huge in Europe and Britain and a local grown Bluesbreaker from Huntington Beach. His former bassist Jimmy Trapp was a good friend and fellow fishin' nut. Too bad ole Mongo was taken from us way too early. I miss him.

Did you manage to get your ewaves together before the knife attack? If so, how do you like them?

Aha, that's likely why I like them. I'll now need to buy Contra.

Nope. Still picking at them. BTW, the longer I play around with them, the less "E" they get. The last bit was $40 worth of African Mahogany....

Dave

So tonight I was listening to live rock 'n roll. The boy called at 7:00 and said they had a gig lined up tonight at the Roxy over here in the OP. They keep adding a couple of new songs each show. Even of they never get signed, this is a fun ride.

Regards,

D-Ray

Nothing like live! Listening to Hitsville USA volume 1. Detroits finest!

Been a Motown kid all my life! Ain't too Proud To Beg is on now!

How about Living Colour's 'Cult Of Personality'? Also a killer rendition of Hendrix's "Burning of the Midnight Lamp' on this one.:D

Robin Trower-"For Earth Below"

Joe Williams: great jazz/blues singer.

Lorez Alexandria: Beautiful female jazz stylist.

Steely Dan ~ "Pretzel Logic"

I thought the only people who listened to Robin Trower were junkies and downer freaks.

Chas

Maybe so. But, Trowers guitar playing, back in the day, was spectacular.

Dave

Ian Matthews The Essential Collection 1997

Nice, relaxing, soothing, acoustic music. I am; however, getting ready for Telarc's 1979 1812.

That seems about normal and is one of the reasons I have not built them. I screwed up and passed on an empty set perfect of JBL L65 cabinets for $45.00. They were gone the next day. I was going to use them for either an ewave or a pair of passive subs. Now that I have a Quad or Accoustat want, I may put my ewave plan on hold. I wonder how you'll like your ewaves compared to your VOTs?

We shall see. But, I'm guessing I'll like the e-waves better. The A7s were way big for the living room----surprise, surprise. My sister is supposed to be around today to take me to the local electronics store. (Yep, we still have one of those here.) But, I haven't heard from her yet.

Dave

I was making a subtle suggestion that perhaps the happy pills Dr. Feelgood is prescribing you were changing your musical tastes.

Chas

I like this wiki quotation:
One of the very few English guitaris that have mastered bends and wobbles.

Sounds like a description of an overweight stripper.:D

You used to drink at the Cat Patch too???

I threw away my stash and a some hemostats whenever I thought the cops were raiding the place. Turns out they were only there to pick up the bag.

Chas

No, Ten Years After was that band Charlie.:pTrower was for Acid freaks!:rolleyes:

Lowell George- Thanks I'll Eat It Here
