My new Numark TTUSB - Schweeeet!

Ok....Yes I love my new Numark turntable. Not too mention the kick ass lot of 80 Jazz albums I won on eBay which has me super hooked on Ramsey Lewis (highly recommend for anyone who hasn't listened. If you want one yourself her you go. Every night since the acquistion we have had 'Dinner Dance Party' with my wife and son at our house....its been a blast, highly recommended.

Kid Zeppelin - kind of crazy....

A very young kid playing stairway to heaven, albeit the playing isn't great, but given his age its still impressive, particularly the solo.

Erik Mongrain - Tap, Thump, Ring, Wow

This just blew me a way. I'm impressed on a number of levels with this guy. I could easily listen all day.

last.fm

While I remain a Pandora fan, I have found some really cool music using last.fm lately. They also have a player widget for Netvibes, which if you read this blog you should know that is a definite benefit. It has found not only cool unknown artists for me, but even better totally unknown tracks from artists I love....example right now it is playing the perfectly overlooked track 'Sex Machine' (no not from JB) off of the Sly and The Family Stone's Stand album.

Onkyo Guitar Speakers

Ok no doubt high end and more money than I would ever pay, but you have to admire the styling. If acoustic electrics are your thing, I have to imagine this "lights the lamp"

A little more on Bennie if you are interested: Bennie Maupin is best known for his atmospheric bass clarinet playing on Miles Davis classic "Bitches Brew" album, as well as other Miles Davis recordings such as, "Big Fun" "Jack Johnson," and "On the Corner."

Thingamagoop

Thingamagoop is a curiously strange analog synth by bleep labs. It is completely customizable from a color perspective, probably an interesting way to introduce a kid to electronic music generation. It does in fact have a 1/4" output.

What I am listening to: The Jazz Crusaders - Summer's Madness - The Festival Album
