Cool Whistler, thank you. 40 years ago July, I was not so much into Pink Floyd. In Oct/71, I arrived in Korea. Heard all sorts of cool music in that barracks and the clubs... Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull are still amongst my top 100 bands. Now on to Thick as a Brick....
OK, as usual, I'm listening to "East Tennessee's Own" WDVX- a listener supported public radio station (NOT an NPR station BTW)- bluegrass, americana, real country (NOT Nashville pop country), some roots rock... they are the BEST radio station I've ever known.
OTOH, what I listened to last nite on the local NPR station was some new jazz- they do good jazz programs most of the evening- I was absolutely stopped in my tracks listening to Brian Carter's "Enchantment"... that IS on my "MUST buy" list... Wow!
I used to get my jazz fix on by blowing an afternoon and some $$$ at my fave independent record store- really should get back into the habit...
Hah- as I type this, "Two Wheels On The Highway" by Van Eaton is playing on WDVX...
Here's todays offering, Paul Weller. We went to some markets the weekend before last and there was a guy selling vinyl. I don't collect records, but I was tempted to buy a Style Council 12" remix...
Graham check these guys/girl out. One of my buddy's used to play drums for them. they are pretty good. Yeah yeah yeah, I'm diggin' them. I really like stuff with alternating dirty and clean vocals. I just watched a few of their vids on youtube, some *really* nice bass playing on one of the more mellow tunes:
Gojira sound really interesting, could be great riding music. Have you told me about them before?
