Fantastic set by Martina

Pretenders - Talk Of The Town. This paean to an old toyboy of Chrissie's is a masterpiece, as far as I'm concerned.

I love Aaliyah's music and R&B hits. We miss her. Are you a fan of her music?

 

[Populuxe]

Jean Stanback - If I Ever Needed Love

 

[Chris30]

Michael Jackson- "Dangerous"

 

[UKMikey]

Monty Alexander - Fungii Mama (Bubba's Jazz Restaurant, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, August 6th, 1982)


For what it's worth, I only listened to this track four or five times in a row.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Monty Alexander.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Monty Alexander.

I'd start with Ernest Ranglin's Below The Bassline on which he's a prominent sideman if you're interested.



Still on a classical kick. My SD card's beginning to burst at the seams.

 

[Chris30]

I'm listening to Aaliyah's song, "U Got Nerve"

 

[Chris30]

Pink- "Some Girls"

 

[Imbissbrunto]

The greatest Southern hip hop album of all time imo, just flawless!

Sergei Rachmaninoff - Chopin/Lizst: Polish Songs (Op. 74), No. 1: The Maiden's Wish. This record has an interesting history.

After fleeing Russia following the 1917 revolution Rachmaninoff was forced to become a concert pianist in order to support his family. He recorded several of his performances as paper rolls which were recently digitised and corrected for physical timing discrepancies by ex-NASA JPL scientist Wayne Stahnke and played on a Bosendorfer electronic reproducing piano to create this CD.

Strange song, been listening to it for 8 months now.

Finally got to hear The Smiths' eponymous debut album. The band didn't think it was ready to release but label boss Geoff Travis insisted on putting it out as he'd spent £6,000 of 1984 money on two producers. Unlike the Velvet Underground's White Light, this time the band was right and it's decidedly lacking in jangle compared with the contemporary radio sessions of the time.

I think it's probably best to pretend that their Hatful Of Hollow compilation which contains most of those BBC Peel and Jensen session versions of the same tunes is their "real" first album. Fortunately subsequent discs have a brighter sound thanks to the enlistment of Stephen Street on engineering duties.

Currently listening to their sophomore release Meat Is Murder which has aged a lot more gracefully.
