Daniel Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Every song I play is new for the little guy. I don't have to worry about playing anything tired or repetitive. A few nights ago we listened to Voodoo Child. I told him, most guitar is downhill from this point. Tonight we just hung out and listened to music all night. Started with some Mozart for an hour while making dinner. Then, Revolver on vinyl. Then, we listened to several Nina albums: live at Carnagie Hall, Pastel Blues, Here Comes the Sun, live at the village gate. Figured it was time for him to hear Wooden Ships, then some Van Morrison. He told me he never heard, Into the mystic. He went nuts during the 4 part harmony of helplessly hoping. He was rather pooped after all the excitement. Then he actually pooped. Nina's 22nd century on here comes the sun, was especially great tonight as was wooden ships. That song is so good. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Daniel, I think you'll find repetition is highly valued--for the next eight years, or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 The History of Township Music, a collection of urban black South African music from the 1930s through the late 1970s. I'm going through N's SA music collection while she's not here. I guess the next CD I listen to will have to be something in Afrikaans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Snowday mix. Robert Wyatt, Earth (drone metal), DJ Spoko, Marianne Faithfull, Sigur Ros. Played some Ejecta, so I might as well play Tinashe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The Cub is really liking Belle and Sebastian right now. He was giggling and having a generally good time listening to the new album today (he doesn't have nearly as highbrow taste as Daniel's boy). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The new Bjork. Kind of like the old Bjorks. Which doesn't mean it's bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Beethoven's Sonata No. 14 "Moonlight." I literally played it - sat down at the piano and worked my through part of it. My sight reading skills are rusty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 21 & 22 (Casadesus//Szell/Members of the Cleveland Orchestra/Columbia Symphony Orchestra) Blitzstein: Regina (Ciensinski/Ramey/Reaux//Mauceri/Scottish Opera Orchestra & Chorus) Martinu: Overture/Rhapsody/Sinfonia Concertante for Two Orchestras/Concerto Grosso for Chamber Orchestra/The Parables (Belohlavek/Czech Philharmonic) (an amazingly good record) Kalmar/Oregon Symphony: Music for a Time of War (Orchestral Pieces by Ives/Adams/Britten/Vaughan Williams) (another amazingly good record) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 "Pithecanthropus Erectus." I literally played it. Well some of the drum part. On the couch cushions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Planet by Young Ejecta is actually pretty good, once you get past the singer's smutty photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I've actually liked Joel Ford's prior work, all of which involved wearing clothes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 He doesn't sing on this, fortunately. I should now go back and listen to Neon Indian, I guess, previously just a name to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
