It's Friday afternoon...I'm hijackin' this.

Gov't Mule - The Deep End, vol 1.

Part of a two-disc live/studio tribute they did following the death of former bassist Allen Woody...some gems on these.

Ok tonight I'm gonna start off with Steely Dan's "Gaucho" SACD. A lot of people say Aja was their best effort but to me this is a more "fun" album....and that captures my view of Steely Dan better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Next up tonight is Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" album. Yes it has a flute solo.....yes it kicks ***.

Ok last up tonight is "The Avalanche" from Sufjan Stevens. This stuff is weird but pretty genius in it's own way, I find it relaxing.

This album is like a B-side to his album "Illinois". Oddly enough he likes to use a recorder in his music, so it's a pretty good segue from the Tull album //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Pfft, this Diana Krall ish is banned in 35 countries because it's so fucking hardcore. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Get on the ball Beat, Jim is highjacking your thread.

Nah, as long as he is for real and listening to this stuff, gives people new ideas of stuff to listen to //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well work is kickin' my *** this week so I don't think I'll play my usual 3-4 albums tonight.

I'm going to start off with some Orchestral work..... The Ubiquitous "The Planets" by Holst.

This is the MoFi SACD version, there are like a billion to choose from out there, but I wanted an SACD version.

I didn't like the Susskind version //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif The recording is fine, but how it's played is just...meh.

The Charles Dutoit/Montreal Symphony Orchestra version kicks ***...the Telarc one with the Atlanta Symphony isn't bad either. But the MSO has the best version of "Mars" and "Jupiter" I've heard.

Yeah the mars version on here isn't too special, but Venus is awesome. I like the way it swells in and out.

I actually fell asleep for a few min just now lol.
