Tunes lately

I've been really enjoying my stereo (latest upgrade the center channel) so much so, it's brought life back to music.....I've dusted off a few albums and I'm so impressed. I've been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd lately (dark side of the moon) and a few concert dvd's: Roger Waters and David Gilmour live performances - both are excellent. Also Diana Krall, U2, Radiohead, Eric Clapton, ...

My dad has crates and crates of vinyl. When I was younger, I never liked "his" music, but he always said - one day you'll appreciate this music. A few years back on my b-day all we listened to was my dads vinyl collection - he has so many vinyl gems..... I couldn't believe that I had never truly listened to them before. Now I know....

I'm currently listening to Mars Volta (have always enjoyed the Mars), but now I truly appreciate their talent, complexity, simplicity and versatility. Its not quite the music for everyone - Sus doesn't fuss for them much - but for me, every time I listen to their albums, I feel like its taking me somewhere else - always discovering something new and their albums are almost the only albums I've never been bored of. All three albums are amazing:

De-loused in the Comatorium
Frances the mute
Amputechture

Pick them up - you won't be disappointed.

I've put some pictures up of my stereo (not that it matters), its similar to any toy - once you have something you always want something better / bigger / stronger / louder / cleaner / etc.... but I am content at the moment!
