Been wallpapering the ceiling in the entrance hall this afternoon. Needed something stirring to help us along so popped in this most excellent CD, "Marches I've Missed."
@noelekal There're some great Frederick Fennel recordings on the Mercury Living Presence label; I think my favorite is the one of Wagnerian stuff by the Eastman Wind Symphony. This new album by The Mavericks arrived Friday and I'm quite enjoying it. It's more of their unique Latin country lounge sound.
Just bought my first turntable (rega RSD 2017 SE) so I'm currently working my way through my late parents record collections. So far it's mostly crap! The only new vinyl I have bought since the TT are Bonnie Prince Billy BBC sessions and Nils Fram Solo.
Stunned to hear of the suicide of Soundgarden's Chris Cornell today. One of my favourite all time rock voices
Ditto. Cornell. Live acoustic. And his amazing rendition of Prince's Nothing Compares to You.. He'll be sadly missed.
New podcast called S-Town, from the producers of Serial and This American Life. Pretty engrossing, check it out.
The Kinks - with a glass of wine, and the washing up... Waterloo Sunset - makes me think of old girlfriends and being young...
Big influence for many musicians from Bowie to Hip Hop through to Detroit Techno. Their influence For this was The Beach Boys
