I just got a new 5x185w multi-channel amp and surround sound preamp/processor for my main home audio unit. It has turned up the musicality, speed, transparency, and dynamic range several notches from where it was before, so I'm sort of rediscovering my entire CD collection.

I'm especially enjoying classical stuff that I've hardly played for years:

Holst: The Planets. John Eliot Gardiner on Deutsche Grammophon

Moussorgsky: Pix at an Exhibition, Night on Bald Mountain, Chuck Dutoit & Montreal Symphony on London Digital (yee-haw!)

Bizet: L'Arlesienne Suites & Carmen Suite, Herbie Karajan & Berlin Phil, Deutsche Grammophon

Debussy: La Mer & Fetes, Boston Symphony on Philips

Bach: Sonatas for recorder & harpsichord, Keith Jarrett & Michala Petrie on RCA

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons, Andy Parrott & the John Taverner Players

Various: Collection of European Marches, Lenny Slatkin & St. Louis Symphony, BMG

Ravel: Daphne & Chloe, Chuck Dutoit & Montreal Symphony on London Digital

Some jazz & stuff:

Diana Krall: All For You, Impulse

Madeleine Peyroux: Dreamland, Warner

Duke Robillard & Herb Ellis: Conversations in Swing

Pat Metheny & Jaco Pastorius: Bright Size Life, ECM

James Cotton (with Charlie Haden & Joe Louis Walker): Deep in the Blues, Verve

Pat Metheny (with Dave Holland & Roy Haynes): Question & Answer

Gary Burton and Makoto Ozone: Virtuosi, Ver

Holly Cole: Don't Smoke in Bed

Holly Cole: Temptation

Diana Krall: The Girl in the Other Room (on SACD), Verve

Modern Jazz Quartet: Together Again

Brad Mehldau: The Art of the Trio, vol. 1

Rock/Pop

Billy Idol: Whiplash Smile

Brian Wilson: Smile, Nonesuch

just the internet in general. I usually run a radio station over the PC and then I run into so many great clips and concerts that I don't need anything else , last week it was live Trower from 77' , before that rare live Hendrix, I love the net!

For good or ill, I have been kind of fixated on Dimebag Darrell since the tragedy.

Best Of Pantera, Pantera Official Live and DamagePlan have been at the top of my rotation for several weeks. I have grown to love his playing style and even to appreciate the Cookie Monster vocals that come with it.

Took a break the last couple of days to listen to Green Day's "American Idiot" after some moronic CNN talking head made some really inane, ignorant comments about it on Sunday morning. A mind is a terrible thing... not to have.

Omar and the Howlers

I'm with you on the Dime thing. I almost sold my ML before that happened, but not now. Hell no. Phils vocals aren't exactly 'cookie monster' to me; I think more Cannibal Corpse for that.

American Idiot is a bitchin album too, man. I'd hate to have to one-up that like they're gonna have to.

Paul Motian with Frissel and Joe Lovano: Monk in Motian (old) and I Have the Room Above Her (new).

No bass trio stuff. Frissel is the duck's nuts.

Johnny A- Sometime Tuesday Morning. Talk about tone.

He plays through Marshall 6101 combos. I have one and they are great amps. One of the best for versatility. Kind of a Marshall version of a Mesa Mark IV as far as features go.

my bud just sent me a cd by

the BURDEN BROTHERS;

its ballsy vocals and guitars wrapped around pop rawk,

kinda a cross between cheap trick and the toadies,

very jammin'
