For the drive to work this morning: My CD of Apocalyptica plays Metallica. Fits the mood during these momentous pandemic days.

I have a large amount of Tangerine Dream from roughly 1974, when they first got hold of a Moog sequencer, to 1987, when Chris Franke left the band and they went Muzak. During this period, they could do practically no wrong. I've got pretty much all their CDs from this time, plus numerous concert bootlegs from the Tangerine Tree project. I've started listening to everything chronologically and am currently up to April 1977.

Man, when mrp mentioned George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic collective in a post on the book notes thread, it reminded me that it's been way too long since I last listened to this masterpiece album by Funkadelic:

Fans of mid-70s Parliament-Funkadelic might be interested to know that I went to high school with Glenn Goins. I didn't know him; he was two years older. His brother Kevin, also a guitarist, was in my class but I didn't know him either. And George Clinton, before he was able to support himself doing music, managed a barbershop in my home town. He left the year before my family moved there.

I am listening to the new Nightwish album. I don't particularly like Nightwish or symphonic tinged rock, but it showed up on my "new releases for you" section on Spotify, and it's hitting the spot right now. They are simpler, cleaner, and more poppy/polished than what I've been listening to lately, and it's a welcome shift.
Slick, clean, bright and groovy with enough edge and dirt to not be boring, and symphony elements and slightly operatic singing lets me pretend I'm being higher brow than I am. Pinkies out while you rock out? Bougie pop metal.

'Now' as in earlier today; doing a bunch of yardwork over the weekend, and decided to listen to some stuff I hadn't played in a while. First up was a compilation of Fela Kuti's more jazzy stuff. Here's a sample:
Then the Super Taranta album by Gogol Bordello - damn, these guys are so friggin' awesome. Here's the title track:

I am thinking about tackling the 6 disc 'Basement Tapes'. I listened to some random stuff the other day; from Jesamine by The Casuals to an unreleased Television instro to Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield to If We Never Meet Again by Wreckless Sleepers. I have a load of MP3s loaded on an SD card and listening through the tv I just pick one track after another to amuse myself, mostly a lot of stray stuff that isn't filed with a full album.

Ella Fitzgerald - Ella Sings Gershwin (1950).
She's accompanied by just piano on this one, an arrangement I mostly prefer to some of the later songbooks with the full orchestra and way too much emphasis on the brass section, to my taste.

Ella's voice is warmth for the soul. so nice. I am currently listening to Trivium's "In Waves" album. Nothing like some slick light death metal to ease into the work week.

I should probably post this in the general music thread, but ayway, I'm not up on metal at all after Ozzy-era Black Sabbath. Even what I think of as the second wave that followed Sabbath and other early 70s metal acts I haven't listened to that much, though I think I would probably like a lot of those bands if I ever got around to investigating - I'm thnking of things like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc.

Talking about music and specifically metal is probably my favorite hobby these days. There is even some recent discussion on this very topic in the most recent few pages. Hop on over.
