Vinyl - Record Spinning

[Dave1291]

 

Time to ride or die!  THAT was yesterday around my place.  Rode that coaster once and it's killer.  How's yer heart tough guys???  Mine was thumpin last night just like it was when I rode that thing...  60 miles north of me on the coast of Lake Erie here in Ohio.  Bring your A game & the kids.  I got the lodging covered here.  Hour north to heaven or H3ll !  lol  

 

Being the tallest roller coaster and the first to top 300 feet wasn’t the only records broken when it opened in 2000. It debuted having the longest drop and the fastest speed topping out at 93 m.p.h. Ranking as one of the world’s best steel coasters year after year since its opening, this behemoth shoots riders over hills, past lagoons and through tunnels, all at unthinkable speeds. With its silhouette illuminated in the night sky, it’s hard miss the iconic coaster on the Cedar Point skyline. 

 

About the only way I can describe last evening.  A roller coaster.   I unzipped the Dom  Martin lp's, quick eyeball and laid them here on the arm of the couch for later.  Finally figured I'd throw them on for a listen.  After I ordered them I'd heard them on youtube and thought this dude's act IS together.  Little did I know HOW together. 

 

Turned on my "aura" over the table to take a quick photo for in here and filled my shorts.  Signed?  Personalized? WTF is going on here???  I didn't buy any signed copies so I hit the site to make sure.  Nope.  How?  Why?  It was going around in my head and I was loving it.

 

So this dude tours then gets home and signs lp's for people randomly?  Who knows but I'm forever grateful and WILL be sittin front row or preferably a tour case (it's cheaper and my rear fits one) when he hits the US.  It was almost as nice when my youngest daughter walks in the door @ Christmas.  Home from Phoenix.  Just crazy!  Forever grateful for him doing that.  They'll be in Crate #2 of signed stuff.  That way I'll know where to find them in this mess of lp's stacked everywhere.  

 

 

 

 

 

Dom Martin (29) is a Belfast born award winning singer/songwriter, inspired but not constrained by the blues.
In the past 18 months he has burst onto the UK and European music scene with a unique guitar style and voice captivating the audience at every venue.
His main influences are Rory Gallagher, Tom Waits, John Martyn, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters.
With five BBC Radio live sessions prior to a first album release, Dom impressed with his 2018 debut original EP “Easy Way Out” with BBC presenter Cerys Matthews describing his work as “absolutely wonderful stuff.” His debut album “Spain to Italy” was fully released on 4th December 2019 to critical acclaim and was an IBBA “Pick Of The Month” gaining airplay on around 100 stations globally.
bluespowr.com - 'Spain to Italy is not just one of the best debut releases we’ve heard in some time but among the best albums we’ve heard from any artist this year'
makingascene.org - 'The likes of Dom’s talent only comes around once in a lifetime'
Fatea Records - 'A musician of unbridled talent and a future that is assured’
After his debut sell out “Spring ’19 UK Tour”, Blues in Britain Magazine said - "Now and again you stumble across a rare talent of such sheer genius that you actually wonder whether what you have witnessed can possibly be for real. Dom Martin is one such talent" (Last FM)

 

Sooooo, he's influenced by Jimi?  Watching this I saw that flair and thought Jimi, Mitch and Noel???  Welllll yea, but now it's on him to reach way down and perfect it.  He's on the right track imo...  Gonna be a great watch for sure.  Yea, the old curmudgeon is waitin...  Listen up.   Ready GO!  Only time will tell. 

 

 

 

 

An added bonus???  Seriously?

 

On to his latest "Buried in The Hail."

 

Just enough bump to catch ya and that Rory Gallagher twist w/an added touch of Jimi once again?  Crazy good!

 

 

First thoughts?  These two are totally KILLAH lp's.  More to follow as I kick back and take it all in.  Lyrics, his work, his band they just push all the buttons. The acoustic side?  Smooth and clean!  If ya can't catch a groove you're either deaf or dead!   😂  Get off those gold cards your sittin HARD on!  Get ya sum!

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

You're living in your own private Idaho

Living in your own private Idaho (oh)

Underground like a wild potato

Don't go on the patio

Beware of the pool, blue bottomless pool

It leads you straight right through the gate that opens on the pool

You're living in your own private Idaho

You're living in your own private Idaho

Keep off the path, beware of the gate (your own private Idaho)

Watch out for signs that say "hidden driveways" (your own private Idaho)

Don't let the chlorine in your eyes (woah, woah)

Blind you to the awful surprise (woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah)

That awaits for you at the bottom of the bottomless blue, blue, blue pool

You're livin' in your own private Idaho, Idaho

You're out of control, the rivers that roll

You fell into the water and down to Idaho

Get out of the state, get out of the state you're in

You better beware

You're living in your own private Idaho

You're living in your own private Idaho

Keep off the patio (your own private Idaho)

Keep off the path (your own private Idaho)

The lawn may be green, but you better not be seen (woah, woah)

Walkin' through the gate that leads you down (woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah)

Down to a pool fraught with danger, it's a pool full of strangers

Hey! You're living in your own private Idaho

Where do I go from here to a better state than this?

Well, don't be blind to the big surprise

Swimming 'round and 'round like the deadly hand of a radium clock

At the bottom of the pool

I-I-Idaho, I-I-Idaho

Woah-oh, woah, woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Get out of the state (ah-ah-ah-ah)

Get out of the state (ah-ah-ah-ah)

You're living in your own private Idaho

Livin' in your own private Idaho

Good evening friends, wasn´t here for while as I have seriouse online issues here . The district where I´m living gets a brand new fiberoptic cable net for internet applications. So far there isn´t anyone online here , except the users having a mobile hotspot on their smartphone . That´s my connection I´m using that at the moment to be online . It isn´t that fast and threads take a lot of time to be loaded . Takes a while till all works are finished here .

 

Today I was in the mood to spin some records ....

 

Jimmy Page & Robert Plant " No Quarter " recorded in Marakech and London in 1994, didn´t spun that for a couple of years

 

 

than Queen II

 

 

  followed by Pink Floyd " Animals "

 

 

finally Manfred Manns Earth Band " Solar Fire "

 

[MicroMara]

These workers here ...too funny

 

[Dave1291]

@MicroMara Ours around here is pretty much done and they are taking some of the over-priced cable market customers.  Cya when we cya brother!  We're suffering but not very much.  hahahaha  HAD TO!  You're missed and ya know it!  Soon.

Crisis situation with a friend at work this week. He bent the cantilever on his Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge. It's not fixable 😬. All is not lost though. He picked up a new Sumiko MC cartridge 😄. I gave him a hug and said my prayers are with you!

Sparecantilever with needle for the Virtuoso are available here w/out any problems for 256 € Performer Needle grind , or 440€ for the Artist Needle grind. I´m suprised that Clearaudio as german manufacturer is known worldwide

His last good album IMHO, before switching to "saving the world god-mode"... 

Was it 1988? We saw him here in Berlin, infront of the Reichstag. Paul Young sang as warm-up, but people were impatient to see Michael and booed all the time... Poor Paul, it was undeserved.

1988 Elektra reissue 

 

Exceptional sound on this Elektra reissue. Defined, rich with supreme clarity and smooth delivery. Super punchy, realistic drums you can feel and beautiful midrange tones make the guitar work really cut through. Vocals are lush and intimate and the bass is profound. I’m very impressed with the sound on this 80s reissue. Quite a stellar pressing, no flaws to speak of. I definitely recommend this pressing.

 

Comment from Discogs so well described this pressing I had to copy it.

Had that 80s or 90s record.

If it had been the Jackson Five up there I bet you would have stayed. Their Motown sound was fantastic!!

[Abomb]

Something I haven't listened to in much too long. So glad that I took the time today.
