Eros (Seduction) Spinning

Was listening to "Radio Moscow" this weekend. Psych rock band from Ohio - two young guys, guitarist Patrick Griggs also plays drums on recordings (they invite drummer for concert shows). Hands down - my favorite modern American rock band. These guys can play - even Jimi Hendrix would be pleased to hear them...
I have all their three albums on the vinyl - their 2011 release is really great.
Check them out if you are in that kind of music - you can't go wrong with either of their albums. I am surprised they are relatively unknown band - I have no doubts they will make it big one day ...

OOOooo nice choice! Radio Moscow are regulars on my spin list. Their version of "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" is a favorite. I'm currently listening to some "Brian Olive", a mellower offering from the good folks at Alive Records (ex member of the Greenhornes and the Soledad Brothers, two other great Ohio bands).

Next up on tonights list are The Wailers - The Fabulous Wailers, The Black Keys - Chulahoma and Otis Redding - Live in Europe.

Unfortunately... all of this is lacking a BH Phono pre... hoping for a Seduction to show up under the tree this year!

Anton,

Thanks, I hear Hendrix, Cream and probably the blues era of Fleetwood Mac in there.  I'm impressed.  I'll get some.
 
Was listening to Esperanza Spalding tonight - recent vinyl re-issue of her first release "Junjo". Contemporary jazz in its best. She is a great acoustic bass player and a vocalist. I strongly recommend to check her out.
I've been to couple of her shows - she is really talented.
 
Since I'm sorting through albums I came across one I don't know why it was in the giveaway pile.  Johnny Smith and Stan Getz - Moonlight In Vermont.  It is a 1952 (Mono, of course) Roost pressing.  I'm beginning to understand the attraction of a good mono recording.  I'm keeping this one.
 
Today I'm listening to the Paul Simon Live Rhymin' LP on the Denon/Dual/Denon SUT/Eros.  The soundstage is flat as a fritter but the detail is incredible.  Same as I posted above in reply 17 & 18.  I have the collected works, 5 LPs, I bought for $25.  This pressing of Live Rhymin' sounds better.  It is newer, almost unplayed.
 
Was listening to the latest release from the Black Keys (El Camino). It is not bad, but I prefer raw, bluesy sound they used to have on Rubber Factory, Magic Potion and Thickfreakness. What they doing now - sounds to me as a totally different band.
Also, it is funny, but to my shame I have to say I never listened to Black Sabbath before - I bought their first album couple weeks ago and was completely blown away. Yesterday bought their second album Paranoid and it is equally great. I just can't understand how did I managed to pass on such an epic band for all these years ))))
 
Wait until you get master of reality and vol.4, that's the stuff with Ozzy. Ozzy went out and got himself another guitarist, the almighty Randy Rhoads. Sabbath went out and got themselves another singer Ronnie James Dio. They still put out good stuff, just depends on your taste in vocalists. Most prefer Dio, but I'm more of an Oz man myself.

just to clarify... the two albums that Anton purchased feature Ozzy as well.  Black Sabbath - "Black Sabbath" is one of the most underrated rock albums of all time.  It is also the album that is credited with starting the heavy metal genre.
 
I recently scored a copy of Woody Herman's "Roadfather"... sealed, at goodwill for $1.75.  The album features some of that blistering big band jazz, w\ a latin flair and huge dynamics... i am categorizing this purchase as somewhat of a "holy grail" of sweet finds in my record hunting.  I highly recommend that you check it out.  here is a link to the first track.  Also, it finishes with one of the best renditions of Stevie Wonder's "isn't she lovely" that I have come acrossed.

My friend in Wichita sent me a bill evans trio album.  "Re: person I knew" .  It is highly involving Jazz.  There is also a really cool video of the bill evans trio on Netflix that should be checked out.  Happy Holidays.
 
I was listening to re-issue of Nina Simone debute record yesterday (little girl blue). Oh man - it is so good. It is hard to believe it was recorded in 1958  - recording quality is outstanding and Nina Simone's vocal and piano are simply great. 
 
I received Edgar Meyer Unfolding last week.  I've played it a half dozen times already.  Truly amazing stuff.  

Thanks to Paully for introducing me to this one!

And now I have the first song stuck in my brain, an ear worm.  It rolled around all last night while I slept.  It isn't as bad as it sounds, I like it.
 
Hey Grainger, 

I scored a copy of 'unfolding' on discogs after reading about it in your last post and I'll second that.. what an amazing album.  I have listened to it half a dozen times already and always seem to find myself lying on the floor in front of the speakers when the record needs flipping... I've always been a closet Bela fan, but I like the style of the edgar meyer album as much or better than the Flecktones music I've encountered.

If you enjoy the banjo aspect, you need to check out the Bela Fleck and Tony Trishka CD.  It has some furious pickin'.
 
I don't have that one. Edgar Meyer is one of my favorites. Do you have "uncommon Ritual"?

You should try Strength In Numbers, Telluride Sessions. The same core group went by Strength In Numbers.  It is available on Vinyl and CD.

I'm not familiar with Uncommon Ritual.
 
Well I am ordering an Eros today, so I guess I can chime in. For my birthday last week I received a box set, with all of Gustav Mahler's symphonies on 180g lps. Performed by Sir George Solti and the LSO, wow I am one lucky boy!

Cheers,
Shawn P.
 
Wo - another Mahler fan?!?!  ...gets lonely sometimes, doesn't it? Bernstein's read of the 3rd hooked me early on. I lucked into a nearly full mint set of Haitink's readings on Philips a few years ago...  :^)
