Going through Reds oldies thread at the moment, currently on Amy Winehouse' 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow'

That little Brit had some pipes and some soul

New releases I'm on this week:

On his new album Tree of Forgiveness , John Prine shows that despite not releasing new music in 13 years and now being 71 years of age, he is still a national treasure. Just a fantastic album of excellent songwriting.

After reading Reaper's posts about it for a long time, I finally decided to delve into the world of modern metal. Now, I'm still not a metal head by any means, but a few bands have stuck with me. One of those is Panopticon. I've loved pretty much every album he's released (it's a one man studio project, and he plays all instruments). The latest release, The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness, is no exception. There's just something about the folk music and natural elements that are woven throughout this music that makes it really beautiful and emotional. Yes, beautiful and emotional, metal.

I know people shit on rap these days, and there is a lot to shit on. Between mumble rap and soundcloud rap, the genre has some pretty wack shit happening. That being said, there are some great, great artists out there currently. One of them is Chicago's Saba. His new album CARE FOR ME, details his relationship with his uncle/friend/mentor who was tragically stabbed and killed on a Chicago subway over a silly altercation over a coat. The album is equal parts sad, angry, and joyful and well worth listening to.

Finally, the new Cardi B isn't crappy. It's actually pretty damned good.

Actually, as I type this, I've been capturing a bunch of brother's old records for him and converting them to MP3, so I've actually been "spinning" tunes. So far I've done two Book Of Love albums, Moev, Die Juz, Xmal Deutschland, a Ministry 12", and a band called Moral Crux, which was a not very good punk band from Ephrata, WA.

Right now, I'm doing a Man Or Astroman? album. It's a pretty cool purple vinyl.

All my metal like usual.

Lately a lot of Miss May I, Like Moths to Flames, Wage War, Polaris, Killswitch Engage

Band-Maid - World Domination - CD

Here is whats spinning at this very moment

Remember when rock was fun and had swagger?

Ab

So

Freaking

Lutely :rockon:

Some major American act needs to sign them up as openers for a US run, that was outstanding... I'm sincerely always amazed at just how much Japan took to American culture

I guess if Americans cant put the swag back in rock n roll, then 4 Japanese women can

Actually 5. That is their only song that is completely in English but they are very talented. They have played two shows in America. One in Seattle and one in San Francisco. Plus a show in Mexico. They have been to Europe a time or two. Mostly they play around Tokyo. They aren't actually that big yet with their biggest show that they headlined drawing about 4,000 people.

Ya it’s called nu-metal/metalcore now.

Thats a damn shame, because if those gals can deliver several dozen more scorchers like that in front of US audiences this summer... they're gonna blow the **** up

Hot Japanese girls + legit hard rock = total cash cow

In all sincerity I'm not the most up to date guy on national hard rock acts these days... but I sure as hell love Greta Van Fleet, they're getting back to the roots bless their hearts

Its no wonder they're opening for GNR over in Europe for a few gigs

This doesnt belong in the oldies thread for sure, got to meet Tracii Guns and he is the humblest mfer ever... me and and a buddy wanted to smoke a doob with him, but he passed us off to Steve Riley the drummer instead

His guitar work speaks for itself here...

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/F0kVyg73diE" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

If you are interested you can grab their newest album, World Domination, off of Amazon. I think iTunes has some of their catalog as well.

Youtube videos:

Real Existence (what really launched their following in the West it went viral)
Dice
Domination
The Non-Fiction Days
Thrill
Secret My Lips
Don't You Tell Me

I do all mine to 24/96 WAV, convert those to level 8 FLAC via TLH and make mp3s out of the FLACs if a friend wants mp3...but you may as well go all in if your already making your own needledrops ;)I need to get that - I love that guy.
Yeah I'm just getting into her. I want Back To Black on LP.

Tracii is awesome, I'm a fan. Dig Mötley as well, so I've got a Brides of Destruction CD around, by proxy.

Not necessarily - I like rock music that is fun and has swagger, but more like the Stones and AC/DC. Stuff with a groove...

now spinning newest Steepwater Band release "Shake Your Faith", 2LP set, well worth the $30 :

Now it's Southern Culture On the Skids. This time it's a picture disk.

"I've got too much pork for just one fork"

This is as good a place as any

I typically listen to this once a day. It resonates with me.

If anyone is interested, I grabbed it for $15 shipped w/Amazon Prime :

https://www.amazon.com/How-West-Rema...A9K80PRXZ7ATFN

Most of what I'm currently listening to revolves around some of the spring/summer concert shows I'm interested in.

The new Harm's Whey Way (metallic hardcore) is growing on me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlgbEZS1jys

Hoods (hardcore) are playing here in 2 weeks. Incredibly excited.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79alWZqMy10

Power Trip (crossover/thrash) in May.

REZN is an up and coming stoner band from Chicago with a unique enough take on a style that's beyond oversaturated with shit. They're on Bongripper's new album release show in July. Check em out.

New Jack City Sdtrk LP
EPMD Strictly Business LP

Been hitting underground hip hop for a while now.

https://youtu.be/3UxNNjdKacY

Heck yeah, y'all! Great stuff, some I've never heard of, which is awesome.

I'm hooking up my new Dynaudio Excite X36s right now, so spinning Fleetwood Mac 'Say You Will' CD on the book shelf system as we smoke and rearrange/hookup components/spring clean all at once.

REZN seems like something I'd like to own on vinyl - the have any vinyl/link?

Nice list.

Gonna get back to hooking this up so I can spin some Brown Acid - and if you all haven't picked these up - DO IT.

https://ridingeasyrecords.bandcamp.c...and=3790865819

It's a bit spendy but you can buy it straight from them through their bandcamp site.

https://rezzzn.bandcamp.com/releases

$25? That's cheap - gonna order this coming Fri

In relation to the $12-20 new vinyl I typically buy, it’s a bit expensive. Especially since there’s no middle man and was mastered at a buddy’s hobby studio. It’s completely worth it though.

I buy $25-$35 IR/MFSL pressings fairly regularly, but u get what you're saying.

Check out them Brown Acid comps.

Back in the day, I would spend a whole day at Peach's records. Just listening to anything and everything. Compared to today going through youtube, takes all of the feeling out of the music. Letting your imagination interpret the music any way you feel. IMO

If you live in Kansas City, 7th Heaven has a pretty bitching vinyl department.

I grew up in KC, spent a lot time there too. In the early 80's Peach's was the biggest for vinyl. It wasn't until '85 or '86 they started selling cassettes, I still keep all my old stuff in the Peach's wooden creates.

Very nice, my mom has a couple of peaches crates.

I've been on a Sons Of Anarchy soundtracks kick lately cd's on shuffle

I'm into The Verve right now.

Great band

Very under rated, one of my favs!

They go well with cocaine ingestion...

Anyone catch the "As the Crow Flies" Webcast last night?

Record Store Day is this Saturday. It's usually too big of a shit show for me to mess with in person, but here's the release list if it hasn't already been posted.

https://www.recordstoreday.com/SpecialReleases

EDIT: I'd be up for that Kreator picture disc and Too $hort release.

In for the Floyd/Piper mono and the Fleetwood Mac "Alternate Tango", maybe the Back In Black cassette if it's cheap enough.

Had a credit at HD Tracks that I burned on Back To Black, good stuff.

These guys are really good, this new 'stoner doom' or whatever its being called these days genre speaks to me... atmospheric, heavy, gloomy, its cool

Liked the video for Wake shot in Bachelors Grove, supposedly the most haunted spot in all of Chicago... very appropriate for that band

New album by SLEEP drops tomorrow :

http://http://loudwire.com/sleep-the-sciences-420/

Welp, looks like I better head out and get in line. Fortunately its supposed to be 50F today.

There were about 15 people in line this morning for the limited edition Sleep record. My store only got a handful, others even less. Can't wait to play it.

You can get the 10k press on green from Third Man.

https://thirdmanstore.com/the-scienc...ng-green-vinyl

New one from one of my all time favorite bands.

Listening now, pretty damn awesome.

I was listening to some Scorpions, Dio, Dokken, Akira Yamaoka and Sade this morning.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zx-r8M6hMbk" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Thats so perfect, not sure who Akira is... but the rest of it, balanced out by some Sade is a legit music experience

All Vinyl:

The Weeknd - House of Balloons
CCR - Anthology
Depeche Mode - Violator
Kanye West - Beautiful Dark Fantasy
Elton John - Greatest Hits I
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Sam Smith - Lonely Hour (Deluxe Edition)
Incubus - Make Yourself

I've considered getting a turntable to dick around with but have always been skeptical if the sound quality will be noticable on my system. The novelty of playing LPs of Dark Side of the Moon and Wish you Were Here has some appeal.

do it. Come to the dark side of the force...

Currently spinning RSD mono Piper at the Gates...first time around the block with this bad boy, holy HELL, that album has bass!

Luzzz me some SCOTS!

Good man, Clyde Frog.

How is that Back to Black pressing? Any info in the deadwax about where it was pressed? Been mulling over pulling the trigger.

I hope Princess Prissy Pants has been well...

I’d the latest Rega low end model enough?

It's incredible. Well worth the $20-30. I don't remember the price point but I'm pretty sure I bought it from Amoeba and not Amazon so it was more likely the higher one. I'll take a look at the deadwax next time I pull it out if the bin.

Polly Prissy Pants? Lol. I think she died a few season back.

Vinyl for B2B is $15+change shipped from WalMart.com.

Hate WalMart, but...at that price, may have to pull the trigger...

EdP1; it's OK but the issue with the p1-p3 models is that they often run a bit fast.

I'd get the pro-ject Debut Carbon or Music Hall 2.3 (they're the same thing) - way better for the same basic price point...and the ability to upgrade specific parts (like stylus/cartridge, platter, speed box) make it a better long term investment.

Oh, I was a licensed Rega dealer for 3 years, and I have a Music Hall 2.2 w/Ortofon 2m Blue + acrylic platter + speed box...and it ROCKS.

Billay’s mom.

His sister ain't half bad, either.

Probably should be on the shame list because it is an idol group, though completely independent, and all the sleaze that may go with that. Seriously catchy Darkwave and a gambit of metal styles though.

Went with digital since I wasn't going to pay the import prices.

Necronomidol - Deathless - Digital
Necronomidol - Dawnslayer - Digital

Akira Yamaoka is the dude who made all the music for the Silent Hill games.

Dayum!

Is that a good dayum or just a suprised dayum?

Both! Wasn't expecting that!

Been listening to the latest Tesseract album "Sonder".

Example:

Want to but not often enough I sit in front of my system to seriously listen. Also worried that vinyl would cascaded into me spending a lot to upgrading my already decent setup.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FpLrhsoMP1U" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Came home to see the Sleep 10k pressing of The Sciences waiting for me in the mail that I ordered from Third Man. I'll use that one to play while I take pics of my 1k press to post on social media. Just kidding, sort of.

I also have an old timer in my family sending me their collection of 45's in batches. Yesterday I got a bunch of Capitol box sets and Decca Records releases from the 1940-50's. Mostly mood/background music like Jackie Gleason - Music For PIIHB and Harry Owens - Songs Of Hawaii. Pretty excited to go through them this weekend.

I was back in KC last weekend and went to an impromptu Pamper the Madman show. They weren't my thing around KC at the time (mid-90's), but gat damn if they don't set it off live. They had that right mix of funk and 90s rock and Theresa is easily in the top 10 frontmen/women I've ever seen live. She's incredible, to this day. The youtube vids don't come close to doing them justice.

And damn this video is pretty amazing!!

I picked up the soundtrack for Private Lessons from 1981.

Nice!

I wound up with a sweet Patsy Cline repress from AP, it sounds AMAZING!
