    Default Which artist and album are you currently listening to?

    I bought Eric Gales' "That's What I Am" and I'm diggin' it a lot. His version of Foxy Lady just smokes!!

    What's "spinning on your turntable" these days?

    I have been listening to obscure 80s mix on my iPod. And actually right now (while at work), I have been listening to KPLU.org public radio jazz on the internet radio. Kind of classic and bluesy jazz mix mostly.

    I'm listening to a tape of Jeff Beck's Truth on an all-analog stereo. If you want to enjoy your music, its gotta be in analog, digital just doesn't cut it.

    Listening to a lot of Tom Waits these days [more so than usual even]. Mostly the "Bone Machine", "Mule Variations" and "Rain Dogs" albums. Also getting a lot of play is a live Pink Floyd performance from 72 {a full run thru a still unfinished DSOTM}

    Danzig - "Danzig"

    &

    George Straight - "Ocean Front Property" with the really cool "All my exes live in Texas"
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Let's see...at this very moment I'm listening to Rory Gallagher's "Irish Tour '74".
    This weekend I bought "Boss Guitar" by Wes Montgomery and "The Kansas City Sessions" by Lester Young (its got Freddie Green guitar playing on it). Some other recent purchases I've been listening to a lot are "The Weirdness", which is Iggy Pop's reunion of the Stooges , Southern Culture on the Skids "Doublewide & Live", and The Best of Freddie King.

    But overall since this spring, the band I've been into the most has been the Small Faces. Other than "ItchyKoo Park" I had never heard any of this band's stuff, and let me just say if you are into the British Invasion, you will love this band. Seriously, I think they were right up there with the Kinks, the Zombies and the Who during the few years they were together. Steve Marriott wasn't a spectacular guitarist, but his songwriting and singing made up for it (plus, the rest of the band was really good).

    Okay, Rory Gallagher just ended and I put on King Sunny Ade, "The Best of His Classic Years"
    Electrics: Epiphone Les Paul Standard (w/S.D. pups - JB-4/bridge, SH-'59 neck), Fender Fat Strat (Mexican), Squier Fat Tele, Squier '51, Agile Valkyrie III, Ibanez Artcore AF75, Washburn OS OE30 Delta King, Dean Vendetta XM (w/ Dimarzios, D-Sonic/bridge, Air Norton/neck), Silvertone archtop (late 60s/early 70s), Titan EG-1 strat, Gibson G-3 bass, Fullerton strat

    Acoustics: Sigma DM-5 (Japanese), Silvertone archtop (early 50s), Yamaha FG-110 (Korean), Alvarez RD20 12 string, Silvertone (60s)

    Amps: Alamo Capri (early 60s tube), Alamo Challenger (late 60s tube) Epiphone Valve Jr. Head (w/Peavey 1x10 cab & Realistic 2x6 cab), Fender Yale Reverb, Vox Pathfinder 15R, Marshall Lead 12, Behringer G110 V-Tone, Marshall MG15CD, Vox DA-5, Pignose 7-100, Marshall Bass 12

    That is SO COOL that you are listening to Jeff Beck's "Truth" Pieman! I bought that album 30 years ago when I was in high school and its been one of my favorites ever since...its great to know that high school students (at least one anyway!) are still digging it.

    P.S. Analog systems with tube amp speakers especially sound good....

    Aren't those at either end of the spectrum? You certainly are an adventurer outside of the convention of normalization. Party on Garth.

    thanks a lot, I find his playing style more passionate and unique than today's "virtuosos" who go all speed.

    P.S. Its solid state, sadly, but we do have some all tube preamps for our turntables, my father has a good pioneer and I have a cheap akai, they both have magnetic cards though.
