What are you spinning now? Mark 27

Faithless - To All New Arrivals, the just released RSD copy, first time reissued on wax since original release in 2006 and original copies were now up to around £500 for a clean copy. NM copies also rarely come up for sale, there have been two NM copies sold in the last 3 1/4 years.

I had to buy this on the flipper market so paid about £20 over what it’s worth, but just very happy to have a copy.

Right now another of the new releases from Resonance Records, Joe Henderson “Consonance: Live at the Jazz Showcase” 2 cd set, disc 1

Anjunadeep Volume 16 Sampler

Love Sierra Hull. We’ve seen her several times, most recently with The Milk Carton Kids.

I rarely post what I am listening to, either I’m way behind on the thread or just plain not thinking about that, but this is one I like and one that raised an issue with gapless playback. It is Julius Eastman “Feminine”.

I classify it as modern/contemporary classical, but it has aspects of jazz. The issue for me is it is a continuous piece, but with 10 “tracks”. The 2-3 second breaks mess with the flow of the music. With the DS Mk II there is an annoying pause between tracks that as far as I know cannot be fixed. I’m hoping someone will tell me the PMG DAC fixes this. I’m using JRiver 30 and this is 44/16 wav file.

just manuvered through the rabbit hole of SACD ripping thanks to Hifihaven.org and forum members there, and it sounds better off my Innuos Zen Mk3 HD as DSD64 than from my rigged bluray player… old dog new tricks

"Molly Rose Tuttle is an American vocalist, songwriter, guitarist, banjo player, recording artist, and teacher in the bluegrass tradition. She is noted for her flatpicking, clawhammer, and crosspicking guitar prowess. She has cited Laurie Lewis, Kathy Kallick, Alison Krauss, and Hazel Dickens as role models. " Wikipedia

She appeared from California onto the bluegrass scene and appeared free a few times at

Museum of Appalachia and also there with Ketch Secor (who became her partner).

She was certainly ready!

assembled a great band: Golden Highway

song “Crooked Tree” became a sort of “anthem” for those who don’t fit the usual mode.

and 2025 solo album

This latter cover shows off Molly’s variety of wigs with the center one showing

her alopecia condition (since 3 years old).

She brought/brings fresh energy to the genre; in my opinion, perhaps second only to Billy Strings

(who took off into the stratosphere).
