Might as well finish off the rest of this week's listening list. Should have been contributing to this thread much earlier. For the past 18 months or so I've been obtaining loads and loads of CDs from the libraries and that's what I have concentrated on. I grab abot 10 CDs and listen to them during the week before going to the next batch. Besides what I already mentioned the rest for this week include (and its always a real mixed bag)
Electric Light Orchestra- El Dorado-1974-The one with Boy Blue and Can't Get It Out Of My Head
Echo And The Bunnymen-Self titled album with bonus tracks-1987
Duke Ellington At Newport-1956 2CDS
Eminem-The Eminem Show-2002
Donna Summers-Bad Girls Deluxe Edition 2nd CD-This disc contains her greatest hits but as the original 12" extended versions

All of this now: Nice! I came across their music a few years ago when I was listening to Pandora Radio and they randomly came on. Love It! @coldwater I bet that surprises you considering all the music you tried recommending to me!  |

I am not shocked, though, Florence is quite good!♡ |

I've been on a Elvis Costello kick lately. So... You have no idea how quickly I wore out that record when it was first released |

So, when it gets to "E", I can easily play an entire day's worth of Elvis Costello if I let it play through. His remastered/re-releases of most of his early albums have a TON of either live versions, b-sides, or bonus songs. They're great. |

Whoa. A friend linked me to this lovely lady's music last night, and now I need all her music.

As I listen to this 47 year old Hendrix song. I am awestruck on how it has remained a unique, unclassified composition. Rock, funk, psychedelic, jazz-it has elements of all but stands alone. Beside's Hendrix and his phenomenal guitar work (which does not overwhelm the song). Noel Redding's bass line is spectacular and Mitch Mitchell's drum fills are simply marvelous. And then Hendrix grabs a recorder, like the one you played in public school, and goes crazy with it at the finish. Of all the untimely deaths I've witnessed during the course of my life, I think Hendrix's was the most heartbreaking because he was still young and evolving and a true originator
YouTube has plenty of videos of other artists covering this song as well as a nifty behind-the-scenes video of how the song was recorded but this was the only video of the full studio version I could find.

Attention Coldwater. Calling Coldwater
Went to the library this afternoon to pick up a stack of CDs to download and thought to myself, "Self, you know, within your big collection, you do not own a single disc of the music of Tom Waits". Well now I do for I brought home the following
Bone Machine
Real Gone
Mule Variations
Heart Of Saturday Night
Rain Dogs
Big Time
Orphans-a 3 disc set
Now it's going to take a long time before I get to listen because I'm going through my acquisitions of the past 18 months in performer alphabetical order and I'm currently in-between the letters D and E . So it won't be this year, maybe next. But what do you think? These were from the main library on Queens and the big branches in Manhattan probably have others

So it won't be this year, maybe next. But what do you think? These were from the main library on Queens and the big branches in Manhattan probably have others Out of those I have: Bone Machine Mule Variations Heart of Saturday Night Rain Dogs You really should (whenever you make it back to your library) see if they have Blue Valentine, Swordfish Trombones, Small Change, Foreign Affairs, and Blood Money. Rain Dogs was my introduction to Tom Waits. I am glad I started there because it really shows him, basically, dead center of his sound. Heart of Saturday Night probably is the most "pleasant" sounding Tom Waits, as far as vocals are concerned. It's his "smoothest" out of all of those. I think it was either his first or second album. Mule Variations is one of my favorite Tom albums. It has "Eyeball Kid" and "Cold Water" on it.  Bone Machine is great, great, too, and is probably "poppier" for Tom Waits, but don't be discouraged by that because it's NOT a pop record. Trust me. For me, though, Blue Valentine is the heart of Tom Waits. oooh weee. To the title track (somewhat) "Blue Valentines", "Kentucky Ave.", and "Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis", these are must hears. |
