The Now Playing Thread

[sunvalleylaw]

Marnold, I suffer the same lack of buying options. The only place around here to buy CD's is Starbucks. What a laugh! And if I drive to Twin Falls, an hour and a half away, I have only Target and Walmart type options pretty much. I tried to find "The Wall" down there, and couldn't! So I guess I have to Amazon it, or wait until our vacation to the Seattle area. The question I face with Amazon is am I going to download (from there or iTunes depending), or do I order the CD so I can get the stuff that goes with it. I do love album art, liner notes, etc.

Oh yeah, right now I am listening to Jeff Beck, She's A Woman, on Pandora. P.S. I wouldn't mind a new thread on this BigG. I find it interesting.

Thanks, svl! Being as hi-tech illiterate as I am, if you can tell me how to re-post this as a new Thread, I'm glad to do it!

Sure BG, when I get off on a tangent, and want to take it to a new thread, I generally hit the quote button on my post, then cut or copy the quote, then migrate over and start the new thread and paste the quote in, generally with an explanation, and start the new thread. If I have more than one post to bring over, I use the quote and edit features and copy and paste away. I often, but not always, use two browser windows to do this. Whether I delete the original post depends on how badly I diverted the thread. In a case like this, I am not sure it is necessary. It is only a coupla posts and we are moving on to a new thread.

I was going to PM you this, but thought other members might get some benefit out of seeing it too. See you over in your new thread, I am quite interested in the discussion, but a while later. I have to go do some work now.

It is done, SVL, mucho thanks! :beer:

I view The Final Cut more as Roger's first solo album than I do a Pink Floyd album. That's not really a criticism as I quite like Roger's solo work. It just sounds much more like what he did after than much that he did with the Floyd.

NP:

Pixies - Surfer Rosa

I would post the album cover but it has bare **** and this is a family friendly forum. If you want to see the cover (and the ****age), Google Image Search for it.

It'd be easy to dismiss Fozzy as a Chris Jericho vanity project, but "All That Remains" is actually a really good hard rock/metal album. My only complaint is that the mix sounds over-compressed like Metallica's "Death Magnetic."

I would agree with that assessment. Gilmour sounds awesome on this album as always, but at the same there is a slight feeling that he was just phoning it in. By this time Gilmour and Waters hated each other, right?

I believe that's correct. I've read that Gilmour wasn't particularly thrilled with the touring for the Wall because the stage show was so orchestrated that it required the band to play the songs more or less the same way every night so the timing of the show would match up. This meant Gilmour had very little freedom in his soloing. His work on The Final Cut is still great because he's the consummate professional. He gave Roger what he wanted but it seemed he was more of a hired hand than a true collaborator at that point.

A little viking death metal for your consideration:

The Band
Live July 17, 1976

If there was a tighter live band than this, I haven't heard them.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to Beatles covers, but I think they did a good job with almost all of these.

Theatre of Tragedy: Aegis

Been listening to this the last week or so. Some brilliant guitar parts in it, complicated but sound really easy. A lot of the songs have a very similar sound to Fields of the Nephilim, particularly "Angélique".

Listening to the Pixies' Surfer Rosa again to celebrate Kim Deal's birthday. Probably Pixies in heavy rotation today.
