Listening to my buddies brother's band, Alvvays. How did they get their name? Is it the German pronunciation for "always"? ![grin grin](/boards/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif)

Listening to my buddies brother's band, Alvvays. While I'm impressed, it's a bit too generic into the indie pop sound for me. However, they are getting a lot of recognition and have developed a big following in Europe as well as Canada. I noticed thier new tour includes the U.S. so our hotdog toting friends can enjoy them too. Alvvays apearring on Q I still prefer Molly's celtic sound instead. It seems more natural for her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Foi6_kVhwA

For those who like harder Alternative music, I just got the new Seether CD, Isolate and Medicate. This one rocks... Might be their best yet.

Of course there is the obvious play on the word "Always" using the 2 "v"s to make a "w" but I don't know if there is anything more deep than that. I'll ask the drummer's brother here at work when I get a chance.

Curved Air's new album -- North Star. Current albums from 60s and 70s bands have generally seemed pretty tired to me, but this one is like they just picked up where they left off 40 years ago, with all the good bits intact. Kirby Gregory is back on guitar which is great -- I believe he only played on Air Cut but between Kirby and Eddie Jobson that ended up as one of my favorite albums.
The second track sounded like it was recorded during Return To Forever's studio time for Romantic Warrior, but with violin. Strange but good.
Of course if you didn't like Curved Air before you might not like this one either.

My son is on the cross country/track team at his high school and after meets, the team gathers at one of the runners houses for a relaxing bonfire later that evening. Well two weeks ago he got home from one such event, having brought his guitar to play for the group, and his girlfriend iPhone recorded not only him, but another runner on the team who picked up his guitar and started playing and singing. For an iPhone recording, it was amazingly good. Turns out she's an up and coming country singer/songwriter! THIS was recorded two years ago (at age 14). "Mustang Island" was written when she was 12(!) and easily brings back memories of going to the beach.

So this is probably boring to most people this day and age but to each their own. Yesterday, was working on the final details of the backsplash I put up in the Kitchen and heard for the first time Mozart - Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, K. 331 - I. Andante grazioso. In my youth I played several different instruments but not piano, was always envious of those who could. This piece of music was such a joy to hear, my suggestion for those whom may be interested, this Piano Sonata is well worth having a copy of. Just my 2 cents. /Jeff
