Listening Journal: April 1 – 7

      No Comments on Listening Journal: April 1 – 7

Grateful Dead – 3/9/81 & 3/10/81 (Madison Square Garden); 6/17/91 (Giants Stadium); 5/2/70 (Harpur College): I keep coming back to the intangible magic of 3/9/81, and the acoustic first set of the 1970 show is amazing. I’m hoping to branch out into a few other shows in the coming weeks, but these have consumed most of my listening time.

Hania Rani – Ghosts: This is what I was hoping Sable by Japanese Breakfast would sound like.

Deep Dish – Yoshiesque: I’m trying to fill some of the gaping holes in my collection of electronic dance music, and as I listened to Yoshiesque for the first time, I couldn’t believe I missed out on this mix for the past 25 years.  

Bonobo – Late Night Tales: I listened to this once when I bought it a few years ago, loved it, and never played it again. I listened in the background last night and I still love it.
