    music of the moment & mp3 player
    Although I have no mp3 player or ipod or even a cellphone, I do have a CD player in my car. Today I was listening to the end of the Richmond Mosque show from 1977, Dave's Pick #1. Oh, and Dave, in case you see this, fantastic job on the series, I got a subscription and am real glad I did. Great choices so far; you even released the very first show I saw. That was very cool. So, just, Thanks a lot Dave! Also, I like the seaside chats you use to introduce these sets. But anyway, listening to "The Wheel," and I'm wondering: HAS the thunder ever gotten anyone? If so, please tell the story.

    at the Shade Gap Bluegrass Festival (Pa.) 8/08/69 Beautiful three and four part harmonies. A great BWV 488 is by Murray Perahia. Really articulate and warm-toned - hits the spot.

    @katky111 re: Goldberg Variations
    Check out András Schiff: Tureck (quite different and quite slower): The Gould '81 remains inspiring to me and I'll likely get it. I already own the Schiff, some of the Tureck (among a couple others: Simone Dinnerstein, Vladimir Feltsman) on tape or cd.

    After an 11 1/2 hour day, spent entirely at a desk researching and writing (0730 to 1830) without reprieve, it was wonderful to open this thread and find your posts (as well as your lovely message, Randall). Skee: I'm not familiar with GP, but as I don't own any mobile devices (gasp!), it would probably be of limited utility, though I'd love to be suddenly possessed by the demonic inspiration required to enter my collection in a printable/reviewable database. Don't I know Spring '77(?!) Like y'all (probably), I've got the commercial catalogue plus some exquisite SBDs for the run of the 7th through the 9th...as I recall, 5/15 was a forum favorite during the raging post-release debate! WTG: First off, I'm a deep shade of emerald over the mere fact you have a "local shop"; naturally, you WOULD know the proprietor's name (sigh)...such a small addition to our county commerce would make my dark corner of Appalachia oh so much nearer to thee, my Lord! The transformative power of G's GVs does not dim with time or repeated listening. Great, great, great call. I'd be curious to know what release(s) you're listening to as, in the past, I've only borrowed copies from a Judge I work with, though Sony's remaster of the vaunted '55 original recording has haunted my Amazon Wish List for a year now. http://www.amazon.com/Bach-Goldberg-Variations-Historic-Recording/dp/B0… JT: Earlier, in the 'what's yer job' thread, I explained how the opportunity to work behind closed doors w/o any public and only marginal coworker interaction played an important factor in the acceptance of my current employment, despite forfeiting $$$, professional visibility, and upward mobility had I stayed in the courtroom. Obviously, your duties of monitoring the fleet present a much greater distraction than any I face, but it also sounds like you have the opportunity for valuable quality time with your music! Keep posting your play lists. It's becoming rather (painfully) apparent that I've barely spoken with anyone since sunrise :O ...however, before signing off, let me get on point: Today, all day, I listened exclusively to a staggering array of magnificent performances courtesy of Toscanini and the NBC SO (I bought the Complete RCA Red Seal collection), to include Shostakovich's symphony 7 (brute military strength); LVB's 3rd (my favorite) and 5th; Dvorak's 9th; Brahms 1st; and a first exposure to Cherubini's symph. in D major plus various overtures./peace and out, kate

    They tell me to so I must
    I have taken my vast collection of Dead shows and uploaded them to Google Play. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Google Play I highly recommend it. They allow you to upload 15,000 songs for free. That is an insane amount of music. I have spent the better part of the last year uploaded darn near everything I have into the cloud and I am at around 9500 songs. 3250 of those are Dead tracks which include studio albums. Now I have access to my entire library basically anywhere I go. I am fortunate in that I am able to stuff by buds into my ears at work and listen to music all day long. You have to love the world we live in from a technology perspective. I digress. All of my live Dead stuff is broken down by date. Take the latest Dave’s Picks 11 for instance. I have split those out into their 2 respective dates. Some of these are incomplete shows and some are just 1 or 2 songs from a show. Anyway, I have 180 shows in my spreadsheet. Random.org does the rest. It spits out a number and that is the show I go with. The caveat being that at least 3 months needs to have passed since the last listening. The magical computer beings tell me what to listen to. Who am I to argue? Today the beings have instructed me to transport myself to St Louis Arena 1977-05-15. This show is of course part of the May 1977 box set. Looking at the playlist the biggest thing that separates this show from the other 4 in this set is that neither “Fire On The Mountain” or “Terrapin Station” are part of this show. The other 4 shows contain at least one of these two songs. I have not yet been through this entire show. I have heard parts of it but am looking forward to hearing it from beginning to end. That was pretty long-winded but I like to hear myself read. See y’all when I get back from St Louie. 1. Bertha 2. Good Lovin’ 3. Row Jimmy 4. Minglewood 5. Tennessee Jed 6. Lazy Lightning 7. Supplication 8. Jack-A-Roe 9. Passenger 10. Brown-Eyed Women 11. Dancing in the Street 12. Estimated Prophet 13. Eyes of the World 14. Drums 15. Samson & Delilah 16. Ship of Fools 17. St Stephen 18. Iko Iko 19. Not Fade Away 20. Sugar Magnolia 21. Uncle John’s Band

    For the record...
    ...I'll talk to Billy at my local shop. ;-)P.S. I was actually considering doing that with the Gould - Goldberg which is actually moving the earth for me right now. And, I don't have it in any format. (except youtube - which by the way is splendid - as are the toccatas (again, only on tape, cd) I do have 2 copies of the Schubert song cycle though, so it's priorities I guess... P.S.S. I enjoy reading your posts, too. I must say you have the ability with your vocabulary to turn my brain into a pretzel that I must untwist. Great! The other day you actually used 'queer' in its now outmoded (?) context. I try using it sometimes and after I ask myself, "Should I feel strange for doing that?" And, your brightness shines my day... A lass after my own heart. I tend to love words as music and you are quite swell at it. Keep it up!

    katky... I didn't see your comments until after I had listened to the show. I am definitely with the community consensus on this one. The first set is raucous, raw and up-tempo. The second set continues as the first left off until Cross-Eyed morphs into Spanish Jam and then everything changes. Spanish is a wonderful journey in and of itself. Alligator-Caution-Feedback continues the trend and then they polish everything off with Midnight Hour which ends in a fantastic jam. Solid from start to end. The more I hear the very early stuff the more I appreciate it. It is fun to hear them just starting to work on what we know follows in the years to come.

Stacked Deck and Too Stuffed to Jump on the same disc. One-hit wonders with "Third Rate Romance," these guys deserved better. Country/soul/blues, not a clunker on either of these albums. More than a couple of songs here would have sounded great covered by Ray Charles...or Willie Nelson, for that matter. And any song that mentions Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee ("Little Italy Rag") is alright with me...

Superstition My 40th High School reunion is coming up next summer, and I've been posting a "40 years ago" song on our class's Facebook page each Friday morning. This is today's entry...Stevie was 22 years old when he released Talking Book, not an amazing fact until you consider that his first album came out 10 years earlier. My, he was a youngin'... The Europe '72 40th anniversary release date is just around the corner, what to post from that, what to post?

yes, 'El Baile Alemán' is great, trebortuh. Uwe Schmidt is a delightful artist.his releases under the Atom™ and Atom Heart aliases are rather splendid and well worth a cock of your ear. a good documentary uploaded to youtube called 'Kraftwerk and the Electronic Revolution' worth a cock of your eyes. and ears.

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/taperrob Phil and Friends My gratitude immense and smile resting perfectly above my jaw. Deep into a free flowing Eyes I was reminded about the one set in the sand. I'm exhausted and knew karma had to have something at the end of this very difficult day. Ahhh, thanks-all, yeah thanks to each and every of the all. Thanks for shering the stream, too I am letting go and will care of those things that are harmful later. It's just all good - right now. XO

Been listening to the Frank Black compilation "93-03." The iTunes/digital version is far superior to the CD version thanks to 12 extra live tracks on the second disc. Personally, I prefer Frank Black/Black Francis's work with the Pixies, his last couple solo albums haven't been all that great, and that Grand Duchy album was pretty bad, but his work between '93 and '03--both as a solo artist and with the Catholics--was really quite good.
