:T
Great album. bright orange cover.

[drsiebling]

Great album. bright orange cover.

Indeed! It also makes one hell of a disc to test out equipment. Lots of highs and lows to really run things through their paces!

[badboyspack]

Buzzsaw on Sirius, jammin.

Got to love it.

[Burke Strickland]

At allmost midnight, I'm involuntarily listening to my neighbor's incredibly loud outdoor rock fest.... not only is it preventing sleep, but its particular boom-boom pattern creates a compelling reason to take Excedrin.

Got to hate it.

Burke

[Burke Strickland]

OK, since they won't be quiet and sleep is impossible, I'm playing Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced?". I tried a classical string quartet, but it is no competition for the neighbor's cacaphony. :>) Janis Joplin is up next in surround sound.

[Race Car Driver]

Currently listening to Audioslave.
And no, im not your neighbor

[Race Car Driver]

And im now listening to Jackson Brown (found it under the seat of a Toyota MR2 I bought last year)


Quite an interesting album... feel.... like.... I should be smoking somthing.... or something? :lol:


But here I sit with my Captain Coke.

[David Meek]

I'm listening to a compilation CD of the songs from the Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV show. The artists include Allison Krause, Sundays, Superfine, Black Lamb, etc.

[Burke Strickland]

But here I sit with my Captain Coke.

Is that as in "a-Cola" or should we not ask? :>)

Burke

[Chris D]

Ah, the Captain and Coke. Still one of my all-time favorites. Matter of fact, I'm going to go make one.

Now, when I get promoted to Major in a few months, does that mean I can't drink the Captain anymore?

[Burke Strickland]

Now, when I get promoted to Major in a few months, does that mean I can't drink the Captain anymore?

As long as you can still pronunce it (to order it), you can still drink it. Then you can try the "Major" drink also known as "Glasgow Cocktail #2" (see below) . A few of those and you may not be able to pronouce either one (that's a good sign that it's time to call it a night). :>) Be sure to have a designated driver if this is happening at the Officer's Club or other location away from home while celebrating your promotion (congrats in advance!!!!).

MAJOR Drink Recipe
3/4 oz Scotch Whisky
1/4 oz Dry Vermouth
1 dash Bitters
1 dash Pastis
Lemon Peel (twist garnish)

Enjoy!

[Burke Strickland]

Meanwhile, I'm drinking Kroger bottled water and enjoying an EMI Classics CD -- Baroque, Vol. 18/Purcell: Instrumental Works. Earlier this evening I listened to Disk 2 from The Essential Bob Dylan.

Burke

[Race Car Driver]

Is that as in "a-Cola" or should we not ask? :>)

Burke

Sure is, im usually lazy and just order a "Cap'n Coke"
Two syllables vs Captain and coke (a cola :W ) four.

MMM drinks..
As I drink my glass of skim milk with my grill cheeze and tomato soup.. :lol:
Back on topic, just picked up the new Pearl Jam disc, so thats playing now, next up.... Thinking Queensryche Empire DVD-A.

[Chris D]

I'll give that drink a try, Burke, thanks! From the mixers, I'm guessing it's not going to be quite as smooth as the Captain.

[George Bellefontaine]

Now, when I get promoted to Major in a few months

Congratulations, Chris. :T

[Race Car Driver]

Tool. 10,000 Days, GREAT CD...
Cool case too.

[Chris D]

Thanks, thanks.

Man, I am REALLY liking some of David Beegle's work. He's got a song that he did with Fourth Estate called "Kara Kum" that just ROCKS. It's kind of Indian-sounding electric guitar. Good stuff.

[dyazdani]

I got my first 3 titles on DVD-A within the last week or so - playing around with them and a headphone amp I have on demo.

Too bad my pre-pro doesn't have multichannel analog inputs, have to resort to the stereo tracks (which still sound excellent).

[David Meek]

A Major Chris?

Hey! Congratulations, sir! ;x(

[Chris D]

For now, you can still call me THE CAPTAIN, though.

[George Bellefontaine]

For now, you can still call me THE CAPTAIN, though.

You got it, Captain. :T

String Cheese Incident-On the Road OKC '02

[Lotus 78]

Race Car Driver,

Keep meaning to pick up a Tool CD. I have always heard good things about them. I guess I’m going have to catch up to the 21st century and start using those online audio clips to sample music.

Listening to right now… unfortunately on an ipod:

Too Early—Son Volt

[Race Car Driver]

I must say, it is currently my favorite album.. and the majority of that has to do with the good 2ch system at home. I find my self turning it up louder then most of my other cds.

Pick it up, the cover is case is CRAZY. You will enjoy it on your home system, the ipod doesnt do it justice.

[Lotus 78]

The ipod does not really do much justice to anything….but with work and a new baby at home my quality time with home audio is very limited.

Also my better half counted the 31 unopened CDs that I have not gotten a round to yet. So I got the “you don’t have time to listen to the ones you have” lecture

[Race Car Driver]

Haha...

I love my Ipod, use it all the time, (actually have creed playing right now on it at work) but the home stereo is a whole different experience.

Send those 31 CDs my way, then you wont have to worry about it.

[Lotus 78]

I love my ipod also. I use it every day at work. (The Necromancer by Rush at the moment)

Yea this work thing has gotten me way behind in my music listening (and drinking)

[wkhanna]

Miles Davis & Gil Evans - The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings- discs two & three

[Burke Strickland]

Jean-Baptiste Lully "Symphonies, Overtures and Airs" on an AliaVox SACD

[KeithM]

Advance and Vanquish- 3 Inches of Blood
I usually don't like screamo, but this just has it backup, which actually sounds decent.

[Burke Strickland]

Beethoven 5th Symphony and 7th Symphony -- Carlos Kleiber and the Vienna Philharmonic on SACD

This follows the first of the two Alison Kraus and Union Station "Live" discs on SACD

[David Meek]

Burke, how was the Alison Kraus set? The Redbook CDs are two of the better sounding ones in my collection.

[Race Car Driver]

Nine Inch Nails, some live 2 disc DVD, pretty damn good to.

[Chris D]

I've been listening to David Beegle's solo work "A Year Closer", a phenomenal acoustical guitar album with many eclectic styles. Just found out when I pulled it out of my player that it's a HDCD disk, which as far as I know could be my first CD encoded as such. I'm going to go try it in my theater to see if it sounds different on my Denon player capable of HDCD.



On a semi-related note, just saw that LAGQ is releasing a new album on hybrid SACD.



And on the other end of the spectrum a new Gold CD recording of Megadeth's "Countdown to Extinction". I can't get enough of "Symphony of Destruction".

[Race Car Driver]

I have one of the Creed discs playing right now.
I should go to bed.

[Alaric]

Black Sabbath-Born Again , to be followed by Tommy James and the Shondells.

[Burke Strickland]

...how was the Alison Kraus set? The Redbook CDs are two of the better sounding ones in my collection.

The Redbook CDs are, indeed, an excellent sounding set. The SACDs are even more excellent. Thankfully, the SACD engineers did not play cute tricks with the placement of instruments. The surround channels are used for hall ambiance and crowd noise. So the surround SACD adds a spatial illusion with the crowd all around and the band up front that makes it seem more like you are in the concert hall. The resolution is not night-and-day different, but enough better to make the voices and instruments seem even more palpably real.

Burke

PS -- the Beethoven SACD is pretty darned good, too.

[Audiophiliac]

Liszt - 11 - Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 in C sharp minor - [Hightech Piano - 1990] - [8:57] FLAC

[bigburner]

B.L.T./Truce by Robin Trower & Jack Bruce.

This is a remastered reissue on one CD of the two albums that Robin Trower did with Jack Bruce - 'B.L.T.' in 1981 and 'Truce' in 1982. Trower is a very underrated guitarist. Next on my list is Trower's 1974 album 'Bridge of Sighs'.

[David Meek]

Okay BB, you've just given me my musician for tomorrow at work. Robin Trower is one of the best rock/blues guitarists IMO.

[bigburner]

'Around The Next Dream' by BBM, recorded in 1994. I'm on my second hearing and track 6 has just started.

BBM are Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker & Gary Moore.

[bigburner]

'Around The Next Dream' was excellent.

I'm now onto 'Songs for a Tailor' - Jack Bruce's first solo album recorded in 1969.

Jack Bruce is such a complete musician. I can see myself working through all of his albums. I suppose it will keep me off the streets...

[bigburner]

Tonight it's "Performance: Rockin' the Fillmore" by Humble Pie. Steve Marriot and Peter Frampton.

Very heavy, very Humble.

Okay BB, you've just given me my musician for tomorrow at work. Robin Trower is one of the best rock/blues guitarists IMO.

So what album did you end up listening to David?

Nigel.

[bigburner]

This evening it's "9th Ward Pickin' Parlor" by Shawn Mullins. I'm on the last track of my second hearing. I'll definitely play this album again. It's ideal for late night listening.
