Hey Steve,

Glad to hear you had a good vacation.

What music are you keeping your eye out for now?

my wife bought a pat benatar record on vinyl also, she listens to it from time to time.

looking at all the cds out there that are chaulked full of dynamic compression, it makes me want to buy older catelog albums from the 80-90s and more vinyl.

right now my daughters have a friend spending the night, and so Im stuck watching the worst movie I think has been made in the past 5 yrs, breaking dawn pt1..... I wish I had music playing right now.

older cds and some vinyl, maybe some Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Beastie Boys, older Metallica, maybe some more foo fighters on vinyl.

One that Im really after is the new Jack White album, its supposedly recorded in analog and imploys no DRC unless its naturally in the music, so I really will keep my eyes open for that one.

I've had to endure part of that movie once before and I agree with your assement. How many times have you seen it?

That's the next cd I've got my eye on. Take a listen to Slash's new album, he's put together a pretty good band.

supposedly the album sounds really good, so Im excited to pick that one up, who knows maybe Ill do it tomorrow.... Not sure I can wait. I was also thinking of getting some clapton or something like that. slowhand has always been a good album, or unplugged, not sure.

sandman922 07-06-2012 04:46 AM

i have the hybird sacd of dsotm, but that is the only pink floyd I have. I like some rush, never a huge fan of them tho. I do think that Neal Peart is a phenominal drummer and song writer tho. Id love some zeppelin but I can never find it on vinyl unless its the mothership album, and thats $50-60, and Im not willing to spend that much on it. I do have a Hendrix album that I like a lot, maybe if I can find more of him.

The mother ship album has been released on cd as well and it's much cheaper. I also have a couple of Hendrix lp's, Electric Ladyland and Are You Experienced, both are very good. Nirvana's Bleached is another good one on vinyl.

TheFactor 07-06-2012 05:08 AM

LOL all this talk of new cd's and records is making me want to take a trip to my used cd/record store this weekend to :D

Ill look for mothership on cd, if I find it Id jump on it.

Rhett sent me some cds today, and they were eurythmics, doobie brothers and nina simone. all are well recorded, but not sure how much sweet dream are made of these I can take... hahaha lol. but to be honest, I have never heard the full cd, their other songs might be awesome. Ill see later. the other two are pretty cool tho.

Hopefully she finds it for you, I'm going to pick it up next time I'm at BB or FS. New bd releases are slim this month but we've got a few we would like to get in August. I'd like to get,

1.Sons of Anarchy
2.Dexter
3.Jaws
and the wife wants Vampire Diaries.

Any bd's your looking forward to?

She found it, said they only had 2 copies, so far it sounds very good. Ive only listened to 2 tracks so far.

I still need to buy MI:4, There isnt a ton of blus I want to buy. I might look at making a blu-ray round up on the 16th, buy like 3-4, not sure what exactly Id want yet tho.

It has to be one of the lesser compressed albums I have heard in a long time. I just flipped over to dr.loudness-war.info website, and it looks like the album gets a fairly clean bill of health, compared to what you get on most cds, and it sounds like.

Overall its a little more laidback then what Jack White has done in the past, but it sounds very good. I like this album so far.

yeah, its a pretty good album, its rock, but its a little tamer then what you would get with with white stripes or Racontours, he uses pianos, stand up bass, and other instruments, its more closely resembles a modern SRV like style.

You would probably like John Mayer Where The Light Is and Taken is a good bd to watch. The Police Certifiable is an awesome sounding bd, The Police aren't my favorite though. Michael Jackson This Is It is better than you would expect it to be, another really good sounding bd with some slammin bass.

I have John Mayer Where the Light Is on cd. I play it frequently enough. I did like Taken, so that would be a possibility. Police Certifiable would be cool, I have their collection album on Vinyl, Every Breath You Take, I do like the Police, they are a chill and cool band. Michael Jackson might work with the wife, I know that she likes him. I have one of the greatest hits albums, even those have some good bass in them.

thanks for the suggestions, Ive been going thru the recent releases here on bd.com seeing what is out there.

so whats the plan for the weekend?

Here's another two suggestions,

David Glimour Live at Royal Albert Hall
Adele Live at Royal Albert Hall

I have David Glimour and it's excellent, they really get the ambience right with the sound mix, your really able to hear all the reverb and such in the surrounds. Would like to get Adele as it's supposed to be excellent as well, it's one I always forget about when shopping for bd's though.

My son has a birthday party that I have to take him to on Sunday and tomorrow I need to work for a few hours and then the wife has a list of jobs to be done around the house. After that I plan to do as little as possible or we might try to get a baby sitter and see a movie Saturday night. I'd like to see Ted, don't remember if it's in theaters yet.

What about you?

sorry bud, i fell asleep pretty quickly last night

David Gilmore is one that I keep forgetting about. I remember seeing it at big daddy's house, we watched a few songs before moving to something else. Ill have to look that one up. Ill have to sneak adelle in the house, my wife cant stand her... idk why either.

today we are going to the beach, tomorrow we will probably just chill out after church, clean up the house, and such. I want to BBQ something tomorrow, so maybe some ribs or steak... we'll see what they have. A steak with some grilled veggies and rice pilaf... sounds great to me.... but if the steaks are too expensive, perhaps theyll have some back ribs on sale still and we can make my homemade polynesian bbq sauce.
