Second City
Well, out here in the second city ... it's actually pretty nice. It actually could just be that I am in the environmentally controlled A/C environment ... but be that as it may, this place doesn't seem so bad ... compared to how built out the rest of this island is
Some tidbits ...
Well, Tristan Prettyman's album is out ... I only plucked STW from it, and noticed a reined in arrangement to it as opposed to live. I had heard LLL earlier, and thought that that song was also quite good. Haven't bought it, just have those two tracks
Another thing I noticed this week was that three singles from the Stones new album are of course available for dl from iT ... what can you say, it's like buying new AC ... nothing really changes stylewise
From the Morning Becomes ... obsession, I thought the session with M. Ward was really cool ... if you like stripped down music that has similarities to Tom W. or some Bruce S. efforts, you'll probably like his sound. Earlier this morning, got to listen to the Ry Cooder quasi-interview about his new album and some of the meanings behind this concept album
And if you like the emotional, ethereal, evocative female vox over ambiance music, the Devics sound pretty interesting ... although admittedly, it doesn't really move the genre forward, it's a solid effort for this style of music
