Not another note on the door! 😲

A deep, menacing, textural bass line seemingly of the earth, poignant spoken-word vocals (Moor Mother!) over crooning angelic vocals from Arooj, delicate percussion and bell-like sounds. This track from Arooj Aftab is an instant favorite! Qobuz The whole album is a superb listen.

I drove several various iterations of that fine motor back when BMW was coordinating with the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to run the Ultimate Drive event held at various BMW dealerships. That created quite the love for BMW driving dynamics for me. But, as great as that I6 was, it was...

Oy vey! Such a tiny yet wide-reaching typo. Phone keyboards are just silly things. 😝

Nope, was s'posed to say 'new' not 'jew'. I don't even know how my phone didn't bother correcting it to a capital J.

I can read and listen to music at the same time, and have always enjoyed doing so the most. I cannot do that if it is hip-hop/rap or the vocals are a spoken-word style. Then it's like trying to listen to two conversations at once.

I'm with you! I have a hard time with short books. Lol That reminds me, I'm greatly due for another LotR read-through and I hear that Andy Serkis (Gollum himself) has been doing splendid recordings for a new audiobook release. Edit: 'new' not 'jew'. Yeesh

What a profound statement! And oh so true. Music exploration is a for ever and always endeavor. And to that effect, my recommendation is a literal definition of ALL-CAPS FUN! Sault - 5

I could not exist in a world like that. 🥵

Trees are jealous that you keep using them to make even prettier wooden objects of desire. 😃

This is a remarkable release. Two of the greatest performers to ever touch their respective instruments - Fritz Kreisler on violin & Sergei Rachmaninov on piano - both playing together through works of Beethoven, Schubert, and Grieg. Recorded in 1928 (!!!) with surprisingly fine, engaging sound...

Bingo. Beautiful plane.

I've always wanted to ride in a B17 as that is the plane my grandfather piloted for 32 missions over Germany and France. He survived all of that, came back home to Portland, opened up an ice cream shop, raised a passel of kids, and kicked people's asses playing poker, even up into his 80s...

I was actually at the distillery when he flew over, so, very close to downtown.

I don't think you're alone in that. There are any number of 'Focus' and 'Productivity' and 'Study' playlists centered around chill electronica. ⌨️ 🧠 🎶

Tell'im I LOVED IT!

Awesome! That's the one!

Uncommonly fun LP and one I picked up for $9-and-change from the Acoustic Sounds website last year. Love it when they have stock overages!

It's alright! Oregon is blessed with two awesome aviation museums. I have yet to make it up to Evergreen. And in hindsight, it very well could have been your friend's Mustang. This one had black stripes on its wings and looking at Erickson's, it doesn't have the stripes. Kudos to whoever it was...

I gotta find me a group like that. For that matter, I need a good whiskey group, too. Since my wife dislikes alcohol of all kinds (not a teetotaler, just dislikes the taste and experience) I've got no-one to share bottles with.

A benefit of having a world class heritage aircraft museum a couple of towns away is getting buzzed loudly by a P51 Mustang for Memorial Day. Nice! Erickson Aircraft Collection

I've got to find someone relatively local to me who has Final D8000 Pros to listen to. Those cans have captured my imagination like few others based on how much I love my E5000 iems. Various newer ZMF models would be fun to try, too.

Shostakovich in Jarrett's hands is good schiit indeed.

That's not how it appeared to me at all. But each of us perceives things differently for sure. For what it's worth, it makes no difference to me if Darko is liked by people or not - it's his channel, his content, his source of income, etc... But I view John as an individual who holds himself...

Sorry, I had read ACP's response earlier on and then promptly neglected it when making my statement last night. Blaming that on, well, it was late and I was tired. My bad.
