Hi all and happy holidays I guess I'm a oldbie and I mean that in every way I've been around emo for just a couple years since I brought my ERC-1. It went out on me last year around Thanksgiving. I had it a little over a year then, and Emo fixed it and I'm happy to say it's been better than fine since. I check in now and then to see whats going on at the forum but I don't comment unless I think there's something I can add to the conversation. Well I guess I'm in the mood to reach out tonight. I just downloaded some music from my past that Iv'e listened to many many times but not like this for a long time. I first got introduced to Traffic's "The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys" at Kappa Karnival at Southern Illinois University back in 1972 or so. It was a experience I'll never forget I was just 17 with my big brother who pleged Kappa. Over the years Iv'e listened to this album first on vinal then CD both high, real high, and sober, so many times i can't count. Iv'e lost it one way or another I'm sure at least 4 or 5 times over the corse of about 40 years. Well today as I mentioned eariler I got it yet again and my little system that I currently enjoy has presented it with more detail than have heard since the record days. I know I have heard this music on at least 6 or 7 different systems. And I'm amazed at the information the ERC 1 delivers, it is the best CD player I have ever owned. If you havn't heard of Traffic's Low Spark of High Heeled Boys give it a listen It's the only Traffic music I've ever owned but I keep going back.

Real Christmas music (i.e., no "Jingle Bells Rock" or "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"), beautifully sung: beautiful voice. beautiful eyes

Guided by Voices - Bears for Lunch - 2012 This is a new album by the reunited GbV band and was really good. I thought it might be a new compilation as it has 19 songs but this is new fresh stuff. First track is King Arthur the Red and is consistent with the rest of the material. For Contrast

Ed Tullett - Never Joy - December 2012 This is melancholy folk like Bon Iver with occassional supporting female vocals from a young UK artist. Very easy vibe when you are in that mood.

Elbow - Dead in the Boot - 2012 This is a collection of B sides the band deems their favorite over their 20 year period. I do hope this is not the swan-song as this is one of my top bands. I might post a youtube later but I am doing my bills now enjoying our company wide shut down for a couple of weeks. Yeah, I kind of figured this would happen. I know a few of you Djohn in particular are familiar with this band but if not you should check them out. This cut never made it to an album and it has a low key canned heat vibe with some great steel guitar. This album is highly recommended as far as my recommendations go. This is another example a one minute sample of a longer song of a striking tune. I only recognize a couple of cuts from other albums but the recording is unique to this disk. I hope you all do not mind as I do not post everything I listen to and limit repeat listens to periods of 6 months or more but I see this thread as a prime venue to share new findings and musical pieces that are above the norm. I do not see anyone posting pop mainstream music so I sense we are all in the same journey here across a broad spectrum of choices.
