2 outta 3.
My record store's weekly emails of new releases no longer include cd releases, it's vinyl only. I drove over there today, expecting to see Millennial fashion accessory gotta- haves where the cd's once were. All was well, for now.
Brought 'em about 30 cd's for $1-2 ea. They took 20 for $30.
Picked up for free, 2015 remaster of "Man Who Sold the World." Nice job. Odd that they redid Ziggy Stardust first, when this record was the one that immediately preceded it.
Perennial faves of mine, Collective Soul, have a 2015 release I was unaware of. On second listen, but SFSG.
Third was a daaaaawg! Sweet's greatest hits re-recorded in 1994. I figured it could be better than the original, like Vanilla Fudge, or at least interesting, like Jeff Lynne re-doing ELO's greatest hits alone a few years ago. Wrong!Everything about it is bad---recording is terrible and the performances are worse. At least it was the $5 one.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Win's bro Will Butler has an album called policy. Sounds like good B-sides from an Arcade Fire record. A good listen. Mixed bag of styles for sure.

She's a beautiful freak. From her website: Spanning over 14 tracks, the new album features collaborations with Janelle Monáe and newcomer, Taiwanese rapper Aristophanes. It was recorded primarily in her home studio in Los Angeles, CA, where she relocated to in 2014. Like all of her previous albums, ‘Art Angels’ was written and recorded entirely as a solo endeavor. The new album features more live instrumentation than ever before on a Grimes record. She plays piano, guitar and violin, continuing her evolution as a musician and a producer for her most ambitious album to date. I'm sure the pressure was on to have outside producers working on her stuff, so I'm happy to see she's keeping it personal.

Grimes already shared another new track, this one featuring Taiwanese rapper, Aristophanes, who I wasn't cool enough to know beforehand. Grimes - "SCREAM" (ft. Aristophanes)Some very satisfying bass in this one.

Also, I don't love the release as a whole, but I enjoyed this track from Natasha Khan's collaboration with Toy, Sexwitch. Sexwitch - "Kassidat El Hakka"

Now you've done it CV. Here's the track I've heard on the radio several times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIi57zhDl78Here's one I'm glad is included on the upcoming release. Her youtube description still says it isn't https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9XKLqGqwLAI think I will have to pick up the new album. Thanks!

I figured it was probably that one. I still need to track down the less produced version, assuming it's out there. I remember Grimes being quoted as saying she was less satisfied with the final version, about something being lost in production. And I hadn't looked at the track listing closely enough to realize she decided to include "REALiTi." I like that one.

Got home from work , found new CD's in the mail, So for the next couple of days will have Bernhard Grusells "Clarinet Concertos" and Jean - Marie LeClairs "Complete Sonatas for Two Violins" loaded in the player. Here's hoping they're worthwhile. Jeff
