What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

[Futtocks]

Rega Exact, so still on MM rather than MC. However, the smaller fine-line stylus is a good improvement and it all sounds much better. 

 

The turntable's had a few upgrades over the last couple of years too, with new bearing, subplatter, platter, mat and isolation feet. I haven't done anything to the tonearm yet, as rewiring looks a fiddly job.

Just installed the Origin Live counterweight stub structural modification. Not a lot left of the original turntable now, but by golly it sounds superb!

 

First up on the platter, Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo.

Excellent are you still using the original sub platter.

Nope, I have the Isokinetic upgrade with ceramic bearing.

[Ullman]

Is this a Frank Zappa LP?

I thought it sounded more like a hip replacement.

[Futtocks]

Futtocks has never been hip!

And, just to prove it, this is one of the things I was listening to last night.

I went to watch my son play on Saturday (Junk Dealers ... I've posted the link previously) .

 

One of the other bands on the bill was Negative Panda from Cleckheaton. They have a young drummer who is class.

"everyday is Saturday to a dog"- the reach around rodeo clowns

[Futtocks]

Quite peculiar, this one; someone's set 'The Rising Sun' by the Nits to an episode of 'Moebius'.

Deep Purple - Made In Japan, still cannot decide which I prefer Japan or Made in Europe

[Futtocks]

Classic psychedelic power trio sound, but with the pop nous to keep the songs and solos short and sweet.

 

[Futtocks]

One of rock'n'roll's genuine eccentrics, Hasil Adkins.

 

[Futtocks]

Just arrived in the post, 'Andy & his Grandmother' by the very strange comedy icon Andy Kaufman. Genuinely don't know what to expect from this...

It annoys the hell out of my eldest son.One of the reasons it gets played so often.

[Futtocks]

You know, considering his immense success, you don't see many people covering Elton John songs. Kate Bush, on the other hand, had other ideas.

[Futtocks]

A bit of US powerpop:

That's always a bonus Deep Purple and Motörhead have the same effect in my missus.
