I met them on that tour. Max was very nice (my Brazilian Portguese stunk though). I don't listen to much Sepultura these days but when I do, it's this song, To The Wall and Stronger Than Hate. ;)

I stopped really listening to them when Max left. To The Wall is a freaking classic song!!! Troops of Doom is still one of my favorite songs by them!!!

Another awesome band that's been on rotation, not a new album, but freakin heavy nonetheless.
The organ is dope AF and a trippy album cover too!

Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso's debut, eponymous album. One of the big three of Italian progressive rock in the early seventies. A mix of classical, jazz, and rock. Takes several, attentive listens before it can become background music.

Sextet -
- Francesco Di Giacomo / lead vocals
- Marcello Todaro / electric & acoustic guitars, vocals
- Vittorio Nocenzi / organ, harpsichord, clarino (?), recorder, vocals
- Gianni Nocenzi / piano, E-flat clarinet, vocals
- Renato D'Angelo / bass
- Pier Luigi Calderoni / drums, timpani


Thanks for this, I tracked it down on Apple Music early this morning and can't quit playing it.

It's wonderful. I'd wear it out if it were vinyl.

You're welcome, I'm glad for you. :) It's a desert island album for me.

This very CD arrived in this morning's post - along with my (late) delivery of The Economist, which is normally delivered on a Monday.

Never mind.

I have just put it on, and am listening to it now, as I write. So, thank you very much for recommending it to me.

This very CD arrived in this morning's post - along with my (late) delivery of The Economist, which is normally delivered on a Monday.

I can't resist putting this note up although it's a taking your aside for a longer spin: when I still took the Economist as print, I once received my copy of an issue almost a week late and it came with coffee cup rings on a few pages in the interior! I wouldn't have thought it a particularly appealing read for the guy who was then driving my rural mail route but you just never know. After all, friends of mine drove cab while they were in grad school for assorted law or science specialties, and after a 12 hour shift they each tended to look more or less like that TV show Taxi (1978 series) character The Rev. Jim Ignatowski (Christopher Lloyd), so not especially likely to be caught reading The Economist.

Right now I'm listening to Handel's Trumpet Suite, D Major - part of the Water Music. Seems like a proper welcome back to the sun at the turning point of the winter solstice here. Can't wait for the longer days to become noticeable in January. Love the cold season but not the dark!

Personally, I cannot abide the dark, and we have serious northernly latitudes where I am - sunrise seemingly around or after 9. a.m, and sunset before 4 p.m. Ugh.

Re The Economist, I can get it online too, but my subscription allows for the delivery of the print edition, which I like to read when I am at home. A print periodical and a coffee or beer is an awful lot nicer than reading anything online.

My mother (in the days when she had her marbles) used to love reading it in bed, and my brother loves it, too.

Actually, there was a week around a year ago when it wasn't delivered at all. Anyway, I phoned them, and they apologised and immediately gave me the choice of having that edition posted (again) to me, or extending my subscription by a week.

A bit of music that is a mixed medley - a fusion - of styles that I like, - sort of Mexican influences (google suggests an admixture of "Chicano rock, Conjunto, R&B, and various Latin styles".

The group is called The Iguanas, as is the CD, and I like this kind of music.

A night of great music: Another CD that arrived recently, - in the past week or so - but which I am only now getting around to playing, granted, a bit belatedly.

This CD is called "A Place In The Sun" and it is by a group called Friends of Dean Martinez.

Lovely listening.

Antidote to the Christmas mayhem and madness…

First released on 4 LPs in the early 70s, one of the greatest recordings of the 20th Century.

Sublime.

Ah! I was wondering if it ever arrived. Hope you enjoy it… there is a whole genre waiting to be unlocked.

I would certainly welcome further recommendations, should you care to tender them.

But yes, I enjoyed this tremendously.

Actually, a periodical I keep promising myself to take out a subscription with is "Scientific American".

I have come across - perhaps a handful of editions - and found it excellent. The problem, for me, is that history and politics always seem to take priority.

@Scepticalscribe I don't know if you have ever watched the t.v. show "Taxi", but there is a scene when one of the characters is taking a drivers test and well he can't remember what a yellow light means. That scene is one of my favorite scenes in the entire show. Keep in mind the show has a ton of funny scenes, but this one always stands out to me.

Not to divert this thread much more... but here you go:

Well, actually, I have never even heard of this show, let alone ever watched it.

Actually, I rarely watch TV, so rarely that I genuinely don't know half (or, rather, three quarters, if not seven eighths) of what is broadcast.

Not only that, but on the 'current news' section, I must admit that I have never heard of the vast majority of the TV stars whose demise merits a thread, and nor have I heard of the characters or the shows they were in.

Seriously, I hardly ever watch TV: For pleasure, Foyle's War, and STNG (oh, yes, and Life on Mars - the British version) are classed as entertainment that I adored, and would make a point of not missing; Downton Abbey was enjoyable too. That is it, apart from news, current affairs, or documentaries.

And Planet Earth II this year.

But thanks for the reference and for taking the trouble to link it.
