Some old cassette tapes that used to belong to my dad:

1984 - Van Halen (Pretty good! I'll consider getting more music by them.)



Lets Dance - David Bowie (I definitely want to hear more by him!)



Timepieces: The Best of Eric Clapton - Eric Clapton  (I would like to hear some more by him too.)

Missed my free album of the week post last weekend.  I got this self-titled sampler from the Hoodoo Gurus on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Sampler/dp/B003N1BHMI.  This Australian band is described as 1960s/psychedelia influenced, but mostly it sounds like straight-ahead rock n' roll to me.  My favorite track is "Mind the Spider."

Call me for advice.   I'm good on all three.    

This is tough for me, but I'm doin' it.  It's great for the casual listener... but I got to know RAVEL's solo piano oeuvre from the composer's pupil on the seminal 1961 recordings (minus a few then unpublished pieces).  I have, of course, a couple of versions of the oeuvre as VLADO PERLEMUTER recorded them again in the late 1970s.  I discovered RAVEL more than 30 years ago.  I was very young, but, I understood and appreciated the music immediately.    This is JEAN-YVES THIBAUDET whom I want so badly in my low-road human nature to label a hack, but, he is in fact, a very talented pianist who needs to listen to other pianists to better understand nuance, or Expressionism.  I expect JEAN-YVES is deliberately trying to play RAVEL differently than VLADO PERLEMUTER.  My response would be there is only one way to play any piece of music perfectly.
