How deep do your headphones go into the bass 
-or how can I annoy my neighbor with a subwoofer--

My first thought, once upon a time, it might have been lighters. Now it’s a sea of cell phones…

Leonard Cohen – New Skin for the old Ceremony
This is a well recorded album. Probably the best from Cohen. I’ve been enjoying this with the Holo May into the LTA MZ3.

My musical tastes are all over the place, but these are a few of the albums I’ve listened to this week so far (I listen to A LOT of music on a daily basis).

Andras Schiff - J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations. Well recorded. Actually was listening to my wife who has been playing since she was 14, move through a few renditions.

This is a stunning recording. Schiff is a monster of technique and a fine interpreter.

Been watching the Disney film “Get Back” showing the lead up to the recording sessions for Let it Be. It’s a long film with lots of good content. Recommended. I subscribed to Disney Plus just for this, but I think I’ll also be following the Boba Fett series.

I decided to revisit these two albums as it’ll be 10 year in June since I visited Iceland.
Really like this one. Post punk kind of experimental. Not boring. I um…sort of cranked them up on my office system mid afternoon on December 30th before leaving for my 2 hour pre New Year’s Eve drive.
These two records have been on pete and re-pete non stop! Don’t even speak french and don’t even really care for EDM just dammed good.

Nell Smith and the Flaming Lips Where the Viaduct Looms
Backstory: The14 year old Nell Smith – singer and fan of the Flaming Lips --attended their concerts and grabbed their attention. They collaborated on an album of Nick Cave cover songs. The apparent logic was to have a young, fresh, innocent, and inexperienced female singer tackle adult, weary, and dark male-written lyrics. I don’t know how this idea could have come from a 14 year old, so I take it as an adult concept album and analytical exercise.
The reviews have been so-so, but I think they’ve missed the point. The Flaming Lips routinely employ heavy distortion, layering, and psychedelics – how much can adult lyrics and production methods affect an innocent singer? How much innocence and purity can remain in the face of adult strategies and manipulation?
I followed my listening sessions by digging up the original Nick Cave tracks for comparison.

I like to vibe with medasin music, specially with this EP.
Winter quarter began on Monday, it’s been raining steadily, and I wanted to see how the Elegias handled one of my favorite albums so I’ve been listening to this:
