What are you listening to right now?

[Dandolin]

Haha--Tacocat--made me smile. And Chank Spent the rest of the afternoon listening to Mamaleek, cementing them in "where have you been all this time" status. Not surprisingly, I tend to gravitate to the later stuff, but I can dig the roots--that Scrapple was another moment....
Thank you!

Be interested to hear what you think about Cleric--the connection was more personal-timeline than musical; they're definitely more on a prog tip and nowhere near the in extremis eclecticism of Mamaleek, but I have been enjoying them as well....

Also, I'm about this speed right now:

@dandolin - Cleric album was very cool. Production was a tad too polished for me but I enjoyed the concepts and melodies behind it.
I’m a HUGE OH SEES fan so I’m also very excited to hear the new single.

Per Ugly Nora’s thread that I have re-appropriated, I am re-visiting the entire SKULL DISCO catalogue. Wasn’t THAT long ago and the world was such a different place.

Noice! I agree with you about the production. I'm personally trying to resist the pull of polished production in my music, such as it is--one of the perils of liking jazzy/proggy/"complex" music styles is having to endure heavily processed production which tends to make music which is already a step away from the atavistic/elemental sound even less "human" and, for me, relatable....

Love that movie.

Love that movie.

Yeah so good. Such positive memories watching that on TV. It throws you off when you see how big a part Stephen Colbert was in it.

You know, the more I think about this album though, the more I like it. The testamate of an engaging album for me is if I want to re-listen to it while I mow the lawn. I will be listening to this this week

I need to get my lawn-mowing earbud sitch in order. Any recs?

:lol: I need to get my lawn-mowing earbud sitch in order. Any recs?

I've been using DT-770s for years (literally years now). I have two pairs now. One for home use, and one for mowing lawns, outdoor work, travel. Mine are 32ohm cause (while I have a portable head phone amp), I find headphone amps cumbersome.

I "think" the advent of blu tooth headphone drove down the value of other head phones. The first time I bought DT-770s I paid $220. The second time $180. I noticed that those Sony headphones everybody loves went down from $150 to like $80 to (which is a steal).

EDIT/FOOTNOTE: That said, I've had AKGs and Audio Technicas.... I love both brands. The DT''s are just the panzerfaust of headphones for me. I would probably still use this one Audio Technica model but the wire broke, and I didn't know better at the time, and I wanted to try something new so I got the DT's. I have a backup pair of AKGs somewhere (this isn't like my pedal collection, I only have three pairs of head phones ). My only beef with them is my own fault. I bought an Open design instead of Isolated. They're wonderful though, and should use them more.
