I'm enjoying listening to the human-curated radio stations (as opposed to algorithmically created ones you get on Spotify or Rdio) on Apple Music lately. I'm dong the 3-month trial. So far it seems worth it.

A lot of stuff I haven't heard is turning up the the "Classic Alternative" station. This Stone Roses album, for example, is really awesome.

Al DiMeola - Elegant Gypsy. Starts off sounding like Tangerine Dream and goes all over the place from there. Just realized he was in Toronto a couple of months ago and I missed him. Bah.

On the other hand I did manage to catch part of the Australian Pink Floyd Show down at the Molson Amphitheatre a week or so ago and they were *really* good. Sound is much better at the Amphitheatre than ACC.

I saw Rush at ACC a month or so ago and was really disappointed. Band was playing well, show was great, sound where I was sitting (not floor, basically first section up from there) was terrible. ACC definitely needs some room treatments.

EDIT - speaking of Al DiMeola, the next two albums up were Go and Go Too (Stomu Yamashta, Al DiMeola, Steve Winwood, Klaus Shulze etc...).

An evil friend of mine, OK, that's redundant, had been coercing me to check out Spotify. We speak about once a week (he lives in Utopia, TX), and he had been bringing this up for at least a month and a half. There's a reason I never did alcohol or drugs. It's the same reason I wouldn't go to Spotify.

Well, I did. It's been a very long time since I've had that big a rush of Catholic guilt. I'm sorry, I'm confusing you.

I like sweets. I have eaten myself sick in a (OK ore than one) Parisian pastry shop. I like to buy new music. Get the picture?
Great! You got the "evil" part.

Now, the guilt. You're not supposed to hear that new (found) music, whenever you like, for free. I did the "struggling band" thing. I quit when I could no longer face eating Fruitloops, generic, with water, no milk. I don't feel badly if I'm clicking on the Stones. A young band from Brooklyn's 2nd album is NOT the same thing, therefore, if I liked it enough to listen to the whole thing, or even replay just a few tracks, I owe them something. That means I go to Amazon, like a Zombie, and buy the album.

Did I write the definite article just then? Yeah, I buy "the" album---of every band I really wanted to listen to a second or third time.

Here's part of what I had no power to stop:
2 by The Weekend (No, the one from London, Ontario)
2 by New Politics, a Wolf Alice, Daylight, 5 Seconds of Summer, and a remaster of Vanilla Fudge from 1967.

I had to give away Nintendo, because it was ruining my sleep.

The place IS amazing, though; whole songs, good sound quality, monster selection, an... Crap! It's Saturday noon already! I gotta get dressed and ready to hear Confession.

Re: Peter's Post. The last thing left like the old days is to do my own hunting. If every next thing they play IS that close to what I like, I'm $unk.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Had to share something I came across last night. It's not a style I normally listen to and it totally captivated me start to finish -- over a giant pile of laundry. smile

The album is called Liberation & the Kingdom of Nri, by Industrial Revelation, a band that "merge[s] elements of jazz, hip-hop, electronica, and the simply indefinable into a glorious whole — all without hacking out an unnecessarily complicated “progressive” fusion-mishmash".

It's definitely jazz-centric, but it's all over the place yet focused at the same time. You can stream it free.

Yup. JJ when teamed up with EC made some really fine music.

JJ was of course a superb song writer...

I've bought several new albums, but I dragged my feet ripping them. Finally did that part, so now I just need to make the time to listen. Chvrches, CocoRosie, Peaches, Metric, Ben Folds.

Also, I never reported back about the new Coeur de pirate album, but, predictably, I am liking it.
