I like the order, but one of the first two things before dinner.
Beer (cold) after is a must.

@hhh, very impressed by your memory. Take whatever supplement to keep it going. I completely forgot the song was featured heavily in Fast Times. How very cool, Guess I'll have to watch the movie again, been a while.

@Zepher, it's used in one scene... it's flipping Phoebe Cates taking her top off coming out the swimming pool. I assumed that scene was etched on the brains of every person who's seen the film!

Otis Redding, The Mamas & The Papas. I guess I'm feeling nostalgic.

Marvin Gaye -Abraham, Martin & John... Ya know if there was ever a masculine voice to Aretha Louise Franklin's femininity, it was Marvin Gaye. Miss this icon. He's actually responsible in no small part as I woo'ed the gal I married.

Great song!

Re: What are you listening to right now?

I can't find a single high-def audio/video of early 70s Mahavishnu Orchestra live, so here' the album 'Birds of Fire'  (1973)...

Re: What are you listening to right now?

^ I had to stop at about the 30 minute mark, it's brilliant musicianship but so damn frenetic.

Clapton's last Billboard Top 40 was in '98, I love the guitar tracks on this, extreme slowhand. My Father's Eyes...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JibodCUsLU

A better track from that album (Pilgrim), Going Down Slow...

Re: What are you listening to right now?

^ Awesome. Sorry, I'm not going to stop listening to great asshole musicians just because they're assholes (looking at your corpse, John Lennon). Or other artists. Pablo Picasso was, in fact, called an asshole, may times. Modern Lovers...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc2iLAubras

Oh no, I can't look at the Blue Period or Cubism!

Roald Dahl, you asshole! Nicol Williamson, I heard you were an asshole, I'll never watch Excalibur again! No more Kevin Spacey films for me, damn you Usual Suspects and Se7en!

Miles Davis - Fat Time (live, 1982)

Mike Stern is a guitar monster. Marcus Miller on bass.

The studio version is much better. Mike's solo is insane.

Re: What are you listening to right now?

Yes, although the next track's much slower.
Anyway I had the same reaction when I first heard BoF - brilliant, but a bit too edgy.

I find "The Inner Mounting Flame" a bit easier on the brain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhzDBGi … Xy3voSP8ya

Saw Mahavishnu live ~1974 in a big hall in Amsterdam. The accoustics were terrible, you could hardly make out the music but you could see that everyone was playing ridiculously fast. Bit disappointing to be honest.

John McLaughlin's accoustic album "My Goal's Beyond" is beautiful:

Lol, same for me when I saw The Steve Morse Band (Dixie Dregs) back in the day, late 80s? Early 90s? He's an awesome guitarist, but they were the opener and you couldn't hear a flipping thing. Then Bobby and the Midnights played (Grateful Dead without Jerry) and the sound was great.

I also had that letdown with Mad Professor in DC in the late 90s. He records in analog and his mixes are prefect, but whoever was mixing his show off of DuPont Circle that night had all the levels pushed to passed 11 and it was so distorted that half the audience left within the first 30 minutes.

Re: What are you listening to right now?

Of all the 90s downtempo groups (Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, Zero 7, Air, dZihan and Kamian, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Portishead, ETBTG with Walking Wounded, Enigma's first album, Bonobo, Boozoo Bajou [really great lounge music], shout out to Death In Vegas, etc...), the one I still find to be the most listenable is Groove Armada.

I only know one other track where bubble sounds are so prominent... Kool Keith - Black Elvis/Lost In Space, "Intro" (1999)...
