Diana Krall - Cry me a river

“Going To California”, the Earls Court concert on the double DVD set that I have found again, when we cleared out old stuff from the barn... “That's the way” coming up, right now.

I am in a real bad mood... had to repair my chainsaw (first reason). Succeeded and the wretched thing makes the same darned noise in the end. I somehow managed to assemble it all and it still works!

Put a „Bardentreffen”-“Sampler” in the CD-player with songs that I had copied from all the CDs that I had bought at the „Bardentreffen” in 1998, 1999 and 2001. I do not remember 2000.

Here is the list of musicians: Laurent Quiros, Kieran Goss, Jackie Leven, Badi Assad, Klaus Lage and Bo Heart, The Collins (Rachel Collins on Bass), Gabriel Jacoup (et que c'était super!), Pippo Polina, Sue Garner.

I put on my “chainsaw-trousers” and began chainsawing... Then one of the screw nuts flew off to a yet unknown destination; then the chain itself followed... I am an informatician, I am an informatician, I am an informatician... I do vegetables and might be able to milk the occasional cow. But I will never be a lumberjack.

Some Pink Floyd:

Careful with that axe, Eugene

This song is pure poetry. It really touches me.

Genesis - live 1973

Sounds like Fat Mattress, Bowie, Led Zeppelin, The Nice and Fleetwood Mac, The Who and Jethro Tull in a Blender.., probably is.

That said
Velvet Green

Mediterranean Sundance. Listen also to “Entre Dos Aguas” by Paco de Lucia to hear some of the original phrases from Mediterranean Sundance.

I imagine that he just had to throw them in, after Al Di Meola could not resist and burst with the first tremolo on that “Friday Night”.

I am currently listening to a CBC series called "Midnight Cab" (it's in the Mystery section). It is excellent.

got myself a vinyl turntable.
something wrong with the pickup, there's not enough bass and trebles are hissy, but it's still enjoyable to finally listen to my records again...

currently:
Fellow Travellers - Things and Time
(excerpt)

That sounds like you may have a mismatch between the pickup/cartridge and your preamp. There are/were two types of systems - one is magnetic and the other magnetic. Ceramic has higher voltage output but poor fidelity and iirc a higher impedance. Magnetic has lower impedance, lower output but very linear fidelity. One type of cartridge will not operate correctly into the other preamp input due to mismatches. Insure they match, preferably by a completely magnetic system.

you mean MM (moving magnet) and MC (magnetic coil).
I'm pretty sure most off-the-shelf systems (amps, turntables, cartridges) are MM.
both the player and the amp are off-the-shelf systems from the 80s.
the cartridge is MM, but i believe now it's
a) not the original type recommended for this player
b) broken
