I almost wish I didn't find out about the CD. I have a list of stuff I want to buy, but no spare money these days. Now I get to add this to the list.

Only listened to it a few times, I don't know that it's as good as some of his other stuff, but maybe it will grow on me. By far his best album is Sailing to Philadelphia - if you haven't got it I thoroughly recommend it. I get most of my music from www.slsknet.org - brilliant fast downloading and free (and just slightly illegal)!

Yes! Miles Davis is a god and Kind of Blue is probably the best jazz album in existence. I like acid jazz and nu-jazz but there is no substitute for real jazz. Went to Stockholm last year, spent a night at the famous Stampen club which was amazing, a tiny dingy club packed with old couples and beautiful young Swedes, surrounded by snow and jazz and warm mulled wine, I loved it. What a fantastic trip that was. If you can get hold of it I strongly recommend an album called The Hot Spot by Miles Davis and John Lee Hooker - it's only 30 minutes long but absolutely brilliant - true jazz at its finest.

I hear that is a kickass piece of work.

Anyone able to recommend some good tango music?

Bullitt · 11-07-2004, 09:10 PM

Some Taking Back Sunday, Cake, Bel Auburn, and Break of Day (<--local band).

With a little Frank Sinatra thrown in the mix.

Along the vein of radio paradise (which is pretty much great), there are two shoutcast stations I listen to pretty regularly: http://nugs.net and http://stumbleinthedark.com. Both are quite cool if you're into jam bands, and stumble has been known to slip in such greatness as Pedro the Lion every once in a while. Nugs is the favorite, though, as it tends to play entire live shows by different jam bands, and often offers the entire show for 128kbps mp3 download.

"I...dig....music...............I'M ON DRUGS!!!!!!!!"

edit: Also, people in Pittsburgh, Listen To More Public Radio. 91.3fm WYEP is insanely great, and they do a lot of cool stuff in the community. Not too long ago I got the chance to go down to a little theatre in, I believe, 'Sliberty (East Liberty to non-residents) and see The Beatles' "Hard Day's Night" film. Just cool, especially for a young kid who didn't get to see all this stuff when it was the big thing.

I have some kinda gypsy Franco- Argentinian- Finnish- Djangoesque accordion tango (Oscar Alleman, Cafe Accordion Orchestra, Baguette Quartet) All great!, but would also love to find some good, classic tango tipica. Ya know, forbidden dance and all. I'll let you know if I hear anything good.

Roosta · 11-09-2004, 05:05 PM

Keane- Hopes And Fears. Superb album!
