WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

[David Houck]

Nice version of Local Hero.

[811952]

Jackson Browne, Running On Empty .. A bit outside of what I normally listen to, but really a just very nearly perfect album. Leland Sklar, of course, is perfect. David Lindley doesn't suck either.

Get on Board:  The Mighty O'Jays, Live at Daryl's House.  I could eat this stuff with a spoon !

Joey, that was like going to Church! 

[bigredbass]

I was so impressed, Paul.  Those guys are at a point in their career where they can do anything they want, and pass on anything they'd like to avoid, but obviously they were interested to come play with Daryl and his hot house/touring band.  And I'm always fascinated as to whether someone who's played or sung  the same catalog for years and years can still 'bring it' or if they'll just phone it in, and they and Daryl's bunch obviously had a blast.  Wonderful that they look and sound as good as ever, and that kind of 70's soul is still large in my background, that Philly stuff and all the rest.  Daryl grew up idolizing that sort of thing, and it was a hoot that he was just like a little kid singing with them, obviously got to him.  I'm sure I'd have done the same, what legends they are.

[tbrannon]

That was awesome. 

[David Houck]

Joey; that was wonderful!!!

[bigredbass]

Isn't that just a hoot, Dave?  The feeling I get watching and listening to that puts me back RIGHT THERE as to why I EVER wanted to strap one on and have at it.   That buzz that resonates right down to a cellular level in me when I watch something great like that is why I had to try, I was helpless to resist.  A feeling no drink, drug, or anything else could ever even approach replicating.  This sort of performance just makes me float across the room . . . .

Analog Music:  Great singers, great songs, great players, great charts and a take-no-prisoners performance.  The equation never has, nor ever will, change.  This is why so much of what's out there today just doesn't move me.   All this digitized, quantized, time and pitch-corrected (I just love human harmonies with no quaver at all, straight as a keyboard patch . . . . ) crap is where 'the business' is now, and I'm just an old fart cryin' in my beer about 'the old days'.  Pitiful.  I've lived too long . . . . . but glad you liked it.

Joey, thanks for that...I rarely listen to soul and don't have any in my cd collection, but love when I hear the good stuff; it just rules...and I agree on the pitch/time corrected stuff-why would you suck all the MUSIC out of something unless you were just so bad that you can't do it without that 'help'?

I just played a benefit last week and I could barely hear my vocals, Harry couldn't hear his guitar and Doug had to rely on cues from me to keep his drums in line; we were flying half-blind and it rocked! I could tell it was okay because I heard enough onstage but wasn't sure but everyone told me after that we killed it...the pics I've seen from the show even kill; we look like rock stars-old ones, but rock stars...anyway, I have nothing against electronic music but if you have to 'correct' something you probably need to work on something...Tony

Been listening to this whole album in the office today:

This has been just about the rottenest week I've had in 27 years on the job... one of those deals where you really start to question how the heck you could have gone so wrong. Anyway, this particular music has a strange, almost primal calming effect.

Especially this one:

[adriaan]

A televized live show by Beck - the earworm that is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQfwgzoiq4c&feature=youtu.be Sexx Laws.

[David Houck]

Greg; that was nice.  And I hope you get to feeling better.

[rv_bass]

Greg,  this one's for you.

[David Houck]

Very nice video of Neil!  Thanks Rob.
