Vendaface by Chris Zabriskie.

Very modern arty and weird but strangely addictive.

I love the Florence album
I'm just off to put it on now, haven't listened to it for a while

[cressy]

All her stuff is bloody good, never any filler on her albums.
Ceremonials is one of my very favourite albums, how big how blue how beautiful is very very close as is lungs

One of the best voices ever

I think you can get medication for that these days.

florence and the machine how big how blue how beautiful.

On the strength of that have just ordered it on vinyl.

Better be good else you're in bother.

Couple on today while I was working through my accounts for the tax year. And year end wot I should have done in November......bought a Nirvana compilation on vinyl from hmv this morning so that went on, eye in the sky again, gets better on a second listen ( and a good clean) and first level 42 album again.

Kept up the spirits while poring over the spreadsheet trying to find the error in the figures.......
Found it eventually, tbh if it hadnt pissed it down all day I would have done some other work.......
Need to update the website too forgawdsake

Note to self
Must not leave it so long between updating it......

Jo Whiley, she's playing some stonking good stuff tonite. Well I think so anyway.

(NB: loose Manchester connection re the playlist.)

Last evening we went to see the Endellion String Quartet; it's really good to hear real live music to give all the audio stuff some perspective.

It is.

We walked to a local pub last night and saw ...




Ace drums and guitar duo. I gigged with the guitarist about 16 years ago, he was good then, he's blisterin' now. A good fun night at a local pub and it was nice to catch up with him.

Aye saw a live local band "The Storm Trees" who hail from Worksop Notts. My wife's looks after an young man with autism. His mum had hired them to play at his birthday bash yesterday, which we went to for the afternoon.
Puts hi-fi into perspective as you guys say.



In comparison to the live experience, most "hi-fi" sounds like a dry brittle husk from which all the living essence has been drained; which is why IMO your system needs to put the music above all else, if you want to have any hope of long term satisfaction with it.
