What Are You Listening To?

CUrrently, this is what I'm listening to:

Cheap Trick

At Budokan:  The Complete Concert

From All Music Guide:

At Budokan was the pivotal album for Cheap Trick, the one that made them stars. The louder, harder-rocking versions of such Rick Nielsen classics as "I Want You to Want Me" and "Come On, Come On" connected with a wide audience in a way the studio recordings didn't, and the record consequently became a smash. Given its enduring popularity, it wasn't surprising that Epic and Cheap Trick celebrated its 20th anniversary by releasing The Complete Concert, a double-disc set that contains all of the 19 songs the band had performed. Much of this material was released on Budokan II, but this set restores all the music to its original running order, making it an entirely unique album in its own right. There's no question that the music is terrific and it certainly is interesting to hear all of this the way it was actually performed, but The Complete Concert doesn't have the punch of the original album, which hit hard at only ten tracks. The length of this set might make it frustrating for some fans, but any hardcore Trick fan will need this comprehensive, detailed document of the band's most celebrated concert.

Keeping the spring theme going -

Lee Ritenour - Banded Together. Definitely a warm weather album.

-Hey Brick!  Okaeri!  That is quite the coincidence!

-Yeah, it's 60F & cloudy here, but it's supposed to be hitting around 70 the rest of the week-  not turning back now, sporing has definitely arrived- my favorite time of the year.  I'll be back in shorts in a matter of days now!

-Yeah, last night, it rained like you wouldn't believe for a while.  So hard, I thought it was static coming over my stereo before I realized what it was.  Asian rain-  like you see in pictures of monsoons.  it was very elemental and spring-like, so I started to think of The Four Seasons, and thought of it again first thing when I got up.

-This one's out of print now, but it is a good one, with healthy doses of Handel, Mozart, and Vivaldi.  It follows so well after The Four Seasons, in fact, that it seemed like I was listening the the "Fifth" and "Sixth" seasons.

-Hope you had a good time with your daughter, BTW!

Hey, Brick, DF!

Per my usual MO these days, I'm up far later than I ought to be (however, I'm going to remedy that situation very shortly.)

I'm capping off my all-80's weekend with A-HA, Hunting High and Low.  I loved it when Grosse Pointe Blank came out a several years ago and featured Take On Me.  And tonight, I felt the need to revisit the Take On Me music video.  (Youtube totally rocks!)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUod3jGQt0U  Always loved that one.

Have a great night/day!

Ta.

-Have a good night, Cat!

-Good to hear you had a good time with your young one, Brick. 

-Well, the missus & I are now going cleaning crazy..  Weird cleaning music, perhaps, but then I make no claims to being "normal"

Cleaning. Not my favorite chore.
