An album that goes by the name of "The South American Harp of Alfredo Rolando Ortiz Vol. 2". Gentle, elegant, accomplished music.

Yes, of course. "Can't touch us now" is on par with their more recent work "Oui Oui ..." and "Norton Folgate".
No instant classics but definitely good stuff. "Grandslam" and "Another Version of Me" seem to get the most play from me.
I also need to pick up the latest from Pink Martini.

Ah, great, thanks: It got pretty good reviews, and I have long loved both Madness (and yes, Pink Martini).
Apt, or apposite, in the circumstances and setting, I should imagine.
Listening to what is described as "Valle Dasmash" - Albanian (Kosovar) folk - wedding music; stunning.
all week long. last week too. 30th anniversary and all..
Green Yeti - "The Yeti has landed"
Awesome album and artwork.
Thick and heavy just like my lisp.
Freakin' Greece man, they're bringing it...

Granted, it's not for everyone, but is super heavy and just what I like.
This is just part of a broader spectrum on my current playlist.
i did listen to a good bit of it. might grow on me.
Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (40th Anniversary Celebration)" caught my eye on Amazon Music. Seems like a good soundtrack for the morning's work.
Has been a while since I listened to that album as a whole. And yes this is a 1974/2014 release.
Still, lots of great stuff on this album.

Needed a double dose of some brutal music this morning. Seems only fitting:
First up:
White Chapel - Possibilities of an Impossible Existence
And
Chimaira - The Venom Inside

Since it's his birthday, I've been listening to the master himself, Eric Clapton. So many good songs over the decades and so many that bring back good memories.

Good idea, have him playing in the background.
Revisiting the Sixties: Heard a few tracks from the wonderful White Album ("While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is still fantastic), earlier today while I was having coffee in an excellent coffee shop; just now, I am listening to a few from The Move, "Goodbye Blackberry Way", and "Flowers In The Rain", and some more from the Psychedelic Vaults shall follow in due course.

Today was a prog rock day. Started off with King Crimson.
Well, a few more from the Psychedelic Vaults that date from the Sixties: The haunting (and musically elegant) Simon Dupree & The Big Sound "Kites", and "Castle In The Sky", followed by "Hey Bulldog" (The Gods), "No Milk Today" (Herman's Hermits), "10,000 Years Behind My Mind" (Focus 3), "Mr Armageddon" (The Locomotive), "Bus Stop" (The Hollies), "World Spinning Sadly" (Parking Lot), "Tin Soldier" (Small Faces), and "For Your Love" (The Yardbirds).
Listening to 'Electric Ladyland' by Jimi Hendrix.
Usually jazz night on Fridays for me, but a switch to classical tonight:
Dmitri Shostakovitch, Symphony 5 (and other works). Andris Nelson conducting Boston Symphony Orchestra (Deutsche Grammophon May 2016). These guys knocked this one out of the park for me. BSO is so meticulous here in "all the little things" that lend a spacious architecture its dimensions in performance.

I find this type of music inspiring. It makes me want to drive fast, jump from a plane, take a chance... Live!
