Having a listen. Having a pleasant time. Not quite fun. You?

6:05 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Wally
I am!

6:06 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Steve Kirkland (host)
Howdy Benoît! Pleasant works.

6:07 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Steve Kirkland (host)
Glad to hear it Wally!

Momma Said's pretty rocky. Nice.

Steve Kirkland (host)
The Stephen Malkmus ep has 3 live covers... that's one of them Benoît.

Never heard of Sloche before but enjoying this. Music discovery is always fun.

6:17 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Steve Kirkland (host)
Wally, Sloche were a mid-70s two-album prog-rock band from Québec.

timely start out of the block, I heard malkmus 1st, you and everyone else beat me there, where's jeb ?

6:25 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Steve Kirkland (host)
Love the juxtaposition of the trumpet (Willy Waldman) with Satriani's guitar noodling on Cortez the Killer.

I don't love the crackle on the "new" Jaimie Branch LP. Built-in hazard with new releases, I find... this one isn't even on coloured vinyl, often the culprit.

6:26 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Benoît
Wally, you triggered me to look it up. The history of Sloche is interesting, and I'm putting it here, mostly because it seems they were MUCH noticed -- in Québec. (The English version is a little "translationny". http://progquebec.com/sloche.html

Thanks for sharing these details B!

Thanks Benoit :)

"But Steve, he said in a voice dripping with snark, isn't that part of the *charm* of vinyl?" (I still buy CDs, when they exist. I think 33-1/3 rippems are soooo romantic...)

6:33 PM, September 23rd, 2023
B
Never heard this live "25" before. Chicago!

6:35 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Wally
Some cool artwork on thos Sloshe albums. And I still buy CD'S also as I listen to a lot of music in the car and my old car still has a CD player

6:39 PM, September 23rd, 2023

Incidentally, Sloche did begin in Québec City -- to wit the name of the song (and of their 2nd album) Stadaconé, the name of the Iroquois village that stood where the City now is, when Jacques Cartier came in.

Enjoying this instrumental "So Many Pies" and I do like many different kind of pies :))

Benoît going back to your comment on the charm of noisy vinyl, I agree in the case of well-played, repeatedly listened-to records with crackles that have that "warmth -- like this Roy Young LP... but when I pay 30 to 40 bucks for a new record I expect it to be in pristine condition. Too often with new LPs (especially coloured vinyl) there is surface noise on first listen. Bah to that.

7:14 PM, September 23rd, 2023
B
Steve: yeah, understood. I'm just amused by the second vinylisation of records.

7:41 PM, September 23rd, 2023

I really like The Sea Urchins and the band they morphed into Delta - I need to find that cassette.

7:54 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Wally
I guess I won't be buying any Summershine cassettes as thos one is selling for over $600 https://www.discogs.com/release/7683003-The-Sea-Urchins-Untitled

7:58 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Wally
I mean Sea Urchins cassette

7:59 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Steve Kirkland (host)
I don't have the cassette either Wally. Unilikely ever to see it. No matter, the compilation "Stardust" has it and all their Sarah singles...

8:04 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Steve Kirkland (host)
Thanks for listening... and the commentary.

8:05 PM, September 23rd, 2023
Wally
Thanks Steve!
