What are you listening to? (Music)

I always operated the assumption that REM made a couple interesting records in the 80s then turned into whiny sellout beyatches. The other day I saw their record "New Adventures in Hifi" recommended over and over in a 90s music thread on another forum.

Gotta say...it's pretty damn good. Been listening to it ever since.

REM is one of all time favorite bands, but after Monster, I just could not get into their following albums as much.

Just spun my vinyl copy of Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced? It's the new UHQR pressing, limited to 20,000 copies worldwide. Very impressive -- awesome dynamics, extremely quiet (not one pop or click). Pricey but likely to retain/increase in value considering what past UHQR pressings from Acoustic Sounds are going for.

That takes me back - I carried around hundreds of records for years, but finally had to sell them to a used record/cd shop. I think I got about .25/record.

This afternoon more slack key guitar:

Nice samplers, perfect for a beautiful spring afternoon.

I am really loving this one.

Agreed! this is terrific, Bill Frisell: East/West. So much music, so little time.

Recently received my order of new vinyls (was just waiting on the last to release)...plan on listening over the next few days after I clean them.
* Jazz Sabbath - Vol 2
* Samson - Survivors
* Samson - Head On (first album with Bruce Dickinson on vocals)
* Prince - 1999

The two Samson albums are limited editions (only 2000 worldwide).

Brownout presents Brown Sabbath Vol II on vinyl....Latin-flavored Black Sabbath. Really nice pressing and great selection of Sabbath covers (Supernaut, Snowblind, Symptom of the Universe, Fairies Wear Boots, Children of the Grave, Electric Funeral, Sweet Leaf, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath).
