Alice in Chains - Dirt
Remembering Layne Staley today (14 years gone) with imho the definitive early-90s Seattle album that was the quintessence of the “grunge” genre with the definitive front-man from that era. While there have been some excellent rock vocalists along the way, not since Jim Morrison did these ears hear such a true original pushing the envelope in a way such that many rock vocalists tried (and still try) to imitate him both lyrically and sonically.

You may have thought you scored in that timeframe with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Tad, etc., but to me this album (late 1992 release) was well beyond efforts from those bands when it came to the Seattle sound. I know the Melvins, Andy Wood, Green River, etc. were working hard in the same scene (albeit slightly earlier), but nothing imho captured the sound and tortured lifestyle like “Dirt” and no-one could tell the tale like Layne.

Give it a listen and hear a moment in time when rock music was still kicking.

Oh yeah, in typical Seattle style, it did indeed rain when he died.
 
How bout this one especially for you Northstar..... I do play/own a piano btw. But I listen to well .... anything. over 10k LPs. I didn't even know Watch the Duck was techno. In the show Banshee they play Girlfriend, but only the first 90 seconds or so of it. I was cranking it, boy was I in for a surprise, lol.

You can call me Bob. Classical Music is number one spiritually for me, and Blues is in my heart and soul. ...Jazz? I'm big, very big.
I play guitars, flutes and harmonicas myself, and can improvise on the piano and sax and trumpet and acoustic bass.
Roughly 5K LPs, but I'm big on digital, more than analog now. ...Easier to maintain.

I'll make sure to check your selections. ...There is a lot of good to discover in people by the music they listen to.
Music is truly words in silent pictures.
 
Batik ; the Old Man and the Sea

Sound Liaison was so kind as to send me a mail announcing this brand new studio master download.
Just got through listening, I it is a fantastic sounding piece of music. Somehow it brings Pink Floyd to mind although the music is more of an ECM type Jazz.
Listen to track 4; "the Bird" with the gorgeous Bass Guitar introduction; BATIK (WAV)
You know what I mean?

Type O Negative - "Bloody Kisses"

Remembering Peter Steele tonight (already gone 4 years, sigh). To a brilliantly sarcastic, satirical, musician and gentle giant….Stay Negative.
 
Bob Schneider's version of "Running on Empty" from "Looking into You: A Tribute to Jackson Browne" in 24Bit 96Khz courtesy of HDTracks. Boy, this song never sounded better. I grew up with this stuff, wasn't a major fan. It was always on the radio back then. Bob Schneider's version is truly a tribute. The sound quality of this recording is amazing, plus the vocals and cymbals are visceral they're so good. If you haven't heard this, I definitely recommend it.
