What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

Before i start cleaning this rig and setting cart up, If i had another tt i could set up in the spare room my albums are in. Hook up a old marantz receiver with the little nht 1s. The nhts are so tiny but great sounding , just roll off some lows so they arent struggling, they stay tight and clean. Love these little speakers. Seems like most of us usually have some overachieving small hifi items we are fond of.

My friends saw him a few nights ago in Saratoga, unlike many new country artist , Stapleton knows how to use the country cliche lyrics, and not sound shallow or over rehersed. He is believable like early country.

I'm pretty much with you on your feelings towards rap/hiphop, but I do own one cd that's considered rap. It's called THE BEST OF GRANDMASTER FLASH, MELLE MEL and THE FURIOUS FIVE. They were an early incarnation of rap 1976-. Although all the songs on this comp are good, the 2 that stand out are THE MESSAGE and WHITE LINES(DON'T DON'T DO IT.)

I took a listen on spotify and it is indeed a lot more listenable than what the genre passes off as music today. Not something I would spend much effort on. Just not for me.

I picked these up on CD last night. I didn't have "Natty Dread" on plastic (only LP). Hadn't heard it in a long time; on my fourth listen now(!). The other three were also played on the interstate trip yesterday:









List of new-to-me LPs will be long...

During the same period the BEATLES had their fantastic run of releases, I believe THE KINKS were their equal, imho.

IMHO, the Kinks are the most underrated group of the British Invasion. They have always been a favorite of mine.

As good as The Kinks were in the 60's, I've always wondered how much better they might have been if they'd been blessed with George Martin as their producer instead of Shel Talmy, who was more of a hindrance than a help when he worked with Ray.

Ya know, back in the late 60s, early 70s we called music like this folk. Now its alt country. This belongs on the same shelf with Robert Earl Keen and Steve Earle.
