Yeah, I haven't played Ten in a little bit over 3 years. I'm relearning what the music sounds like now on the new speakers. Everything is different. Side 1 of Ten works but Side 2 is going to take some more listening to. Vs. is being re released on 45 rpm vinyl in a couple of weeks so Ten was a bit of a warm up for that.
I'm digging into stuff I haven't played in ages just to see what it sounds like again and see what still works and even what makes me go Wow ! after all these years. What is finished and what needs more attention. Albums and album sides are a whole different listening experience than doing a playlist of songs. Just sitting, TV off, listening and looking over at the wife now and then and seeing when her head is bopping and she's singing along, making notes for the future. We're doing 2 to 3 of these 4 hour plus sessions every week now. Lot's of experimenting seeing what plays nicely with others. Dire Straits and Supertramp which is playing now, did not do so well after what came before. I'm hoping I Robot is a nice finish. I associate I Robot with the old Laserium days. A Laser light show set to music while you sat back in planetarium recliner chairs looking up at the lights.

i went to a bunch of laser light shows at the planetarium in high school. they did dark side of the moon, they did zeppelin - but not any certain album, sort of a mix up to in through the out door. it was fantastic. i think there was another one, but those two i went back to see over and over again. it was really something. like being high with no drugs or alcohol. i really dug it.
you know how i feel about genesis thanks for the reminder, i'm going to revisit those two, and maybe even in one whole sitting i'll do a lamb lies down on broadway. we'll see.
i wasn't a big fan of supertramp growing up, but i have become one in the last 2 years. i'm not sure what made this happen. that album in particular. i'm going to listen to it all the way through sometime soon on your prompting.
i really like your idea of your 2 - 3 4 hr+ sessions a week. i may take your lead on this too! sounds right up my alley.
i think i'm going to start with The Royal Scam and/or Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. we'll see.
i'm going to visit N4KU and aligator this weekend. i bet i could interest them in a session idea like this.
Pearl Jam - Ten Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed
i just revisited Ten a couple of weeks ago for the first time in 10+ years. i associate it with fall and a certain time in my "youth." forgot how 'different' it sounded to me when i got ahold of it the week it came out - loved it. still think it's great.

You mean 5 cent scoops of rocky road vs whites only at the lunch counter?
"Every day I have to play this playlist on loop in a dark room for my chickens so that they will calm down. No other music stops their cries like this one, but it has come to the point where this is the only playlist of department store music they'll ever listen to. Thank you"
At the cabin in the mountains, the wind in the trees is the equivalent ocean. The crows, the Flickers, the snorting deer. The drop off into the valley where the coyotes sing.

BTW, I love listening to the wind. It is a good preference to have if you live in a semi-arid place between mountains.

Should be. Beautiful, amazing scenery. Friendly, âupâ people. Right now, eating at restaurants is noticeably cheaper than in the States. Weâre driving anti-clockwise around the southern island (did the northern one 4 yrs ago), starting in ChristChurch and now at the northernmost portion, near Nelson.

Glad you enjoyed it! Ira Wolf is definitely my favourite 'New Country' discovery in quite some time.
Would love to get Ira Wolf up to this corner of British Columbia to perform live. Might offer to the local Unitea Cafe & Lounge owner to bankroll her performance.
definitely talented
i'd probably go out of my way to see her perform
wow, quite good
making my day at my desk a bit more enjoyable
thx!
