_Sweet Willie_ Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 OK, the Mrs. Grundy CD is finally off repeat. (See earlier post.) I have replaced it with The Roots' new joint, The Tipping Point. I haven't listened to this one enough to give suitable critique, but my general impression is that it's another quality CD from the boyz from Philly w/ Leonard "Hub" Hubbard on bass. There are a couple of sweet tracks in the middle w/ righteous ol' skool hip-hop flava. I love that. Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars.

dcr Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I am such an old fart. At work this week, Jefferson Airplane. "2400 Fulton St.," disc 2. (Makes me want to run out & buy Levi's.) At home, Supertramp, "Breakfast in America." Yes, again, because (a) I dig that album and (b) I'm learning all the songs, because Thompson's style & timing are impeccable.

BenLoy Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I've been listening to this CD: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0001XAMS6.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg Unbelievably amazing. Edgar is a freak of nature...his arco technique is simply unparalleled...and his sound is so sonorous. He can bow an open harmonic and it'll make you cry. Bela's no slouch either. There's a great bonus DVD that chronicles their time on the road together, revolving mostly around their efforts to rehearse this extremely difficult canon that Edgar wrote right before the tour started. They finally play it all the way through without screwing up by the final concert of the tour...and man, it's HARD! I'll be gittin' my own copy of the mastered version of Mrs. Grundy's #3 With a Mullet tomorrow...I'll tease you guys with the details then...

Steve Force Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Notes to self: 1. Pick up the new Edgar Meyer and Bela Fleck CD, 2. Pester BenLoy enough so that he gets so tired of me he drop-ships a copy of " Mrs. Grundy's #3 With a Mullet to me just to get me off of his back!

BenLoy Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Easy there, sweet fella...the band still has to listen to the mastering and decide if we like it. I think it's safe to say the record will probably be out by the end of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butcherNburn Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 .. Man I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes Pocket Full of Kryptonite by Spin Doctors Although their first hit got on my nerves after a while, the whole album is great. But who listens to hits anyway? I always considered them one of my dirty little secrets. I also like to listen to this guy yodel and snore. http://www.wagenschenke.ch/HomeRun.swf If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing!

Basshappi Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Rastus Kain and the Blame - Guitar Fool I used to run sound for this guy when he would come to town. He's a smokin' blues slide guitarist out of Fla. His childhood friend is a local bassplayer and I met them through a drummer friend of mine. Great cats but the drummer moved away and I haven't heard from them for a while. I just picked up the new Van Halen "Best Of" double CD but I haven't gotten to really give it much of a listen. Will be picking up the Bela Fleck CD this weekend. Bunch of different stuff for building set lists. Oh, and I've always dug the Spin Doctors. Cleopatra's Favorite Cat is one of my faves.

John W. Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 "Darker than Blue: Soul from Jamdown"--an awesome compilation of late 60's-early 70's reggae covers of US soul hits. Roy Hardgrove, "RH Groove", with Reggie Washingtom, Pino and Me'Shell playing bass. Two more great compilations--"Texas Funk" and "Midwest Funk." Donny Hathaway's first album, "Everything is Everything" (with great bass playing by Louis Satterfield and Phil Upchurch), and "Donny Hathaway Live", with Willie Weeks, are never far away. Bobi Cespedes "Rezos" and Pancho Quinto "Rumba sin Fronteras", both with the very groovin' ex-BayArea-ite Rahsaan Fredericks providing the low end. John Scofield's "EnRoute" (Steve Swallow), and "Up All Night" (Andy Hess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Lately I've been on a ridiculous Led Zeppelin kick. My truck has an MP3 disc that I made of every officially released studio album plus the BBC sessions. At home, the disc changer has How The West Was Won on random/repeat. I'm dyin' for a mastered version of the new Grundy disc. I've heard most of it in one stage or another and it owns much, much real estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Sweet Willie_ Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 Originally posted by Bumpcity: I'm dyin' for a mastered version of the new Grundy disc.Moi aussi. I also want some quality cover art and a CD label that looks really cool when it spins super-fast in the CD player. But I'd settle for just the mastered disc. Originally posted by Bumpcity: I've heard most of it in one stage or another and it owns much, much real estate.Huge tracts of land. Mos def. Back to the topic at hand -- recently Starfish, the late '80s CD from The Church, has been seeing some playing time after a lengthy hiatus away from the CD player. Additionally I pulled out my Cottonmouth D.N. Dopecore CD, which is really a lovely album. Peace. --sweet'n'low spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars.
