Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo So what are ya listening to tonight?

It's a NIN night. Listening to With Teeth in 5.1 now. Going to listen to both discs of "The Fragile" later on. There is a writeup of the story that goes along with the songs here: http://www.sickamongthepure.com/files/2002/06/ExegesisPart1/ExegesisPart1.html

They also have one for The Downward Spiral (TDS) that I have followed along with before. It makes the CD more interesting and you get a fuller understanding of how it fits together. Of course, I guess the writeup is just opinion and not officially endorsed by NIN or anything, but it does make sense (at least TDS one did).

And the wife is out of town tonight, so I can crank it up as loud as I want

Jason Mraz, Maroon 5

The ATI has been running in bridged mode for the last hour and a half running my fronts and center..................it's not even warm yet! So far so good.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band "Uncle Charlie & His Dod Teddy"

Forgot how much I love this CD.

Rainbow - The Very Best Of Rainbow

Ah yes, Octavian, great music. Ma Vlast is one of my favorites. I have six versions and the one I like as well as any is also the least expensive, the reading by Berglund. I'm tempted by the sale on Mobile Fidelity which at least cuts their outrageous $31 regular price down to a more tolerable level. Since Maestro Susskind's Ma Vlast won't be released until 8/23, I can think about that for a bit, but possibly the most attractive of the Mobile Fidelity remasterings would be the Ravel collection which I have in the original Vox boxes and includes the best performance of the exquisite Ma Mere L'oye that I've ever heard. Another of those RCA remasterings that's especially attractive is the classic Munch Daphnis et Chloe .

Did I say Dod????? I meant, & His DOG Teddy.

Tonight I'm listening to my wife tell me to get my a$$ to bed if I still plan on getting up at the crack of dawn to go fishing.

Talk to you all tomorrow

I've been listening to a lot of classical piano lately. Listened to Horowitz's 1965 Carnegie concert the last couple nights and I'm listening to Horowitz Live in Moscow tonight.

This afternoon I was enjoying Symphony No.9 "Choral" in D Minor by Beethoven. Performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra.
