If no one else steps up, I can come up with something, but I'm sure there are deeper Cure fans here.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
By coincidence I was watching The Americans on TV last night and the closing scene soundtrack was Siamese Twins by The Cure.
Sounded great.
The show has some great 80's music.

Do I go with the Murmur version of Radio Free Europe or the original single version?

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I could echo this. The only song I know and like is Friday I'm in Love. Yeah something so poppy doesn't usually resonate but something about that song does it for me.
Although I still need to finish Dubliners and Stranglers. I'm nearly done been a hectic couple of weeks.

Eh, kinda, if only because of the bass prominence. JD were much more about drama while Faith-era Cure was more dirge-y to my ear.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 May 2018, 8:17pmCarnage Visors has a definite JD/early NO sound to it, you durn dude.

Various Artists - The Jazz Scene (1949)
The original box set. Originally released as a set of six 12-inch 78rpm records in lavish packing and a hand-numbered limited edition out out by Mercury Records. I picked up the 2-disc reissue a few years back after reading about this release here: https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/ ... ver-heard/
Top-form cuts by Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Parker and more. One of my dynamite faves off this one is "I Want to be Happy" by Lester Young featuring Nat King Cole and Buddy Rich. The link above has full lineup info for each track. The '94 reissue includes alternate takes and a whole second disc of additional music. Out of print, but easy to snatch up on Amazon or Discogs. Comes in a pretty great presentation in a small hardback book with plenty of liner notes, photos, etc.
Addendum: or, you can buy an original set - last record missing - on Discogs for a cool $285

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
While my preference overall is for the most reincarnation of Swans, Children of God is still my favourite single album (in part, perhaps, because it was when I found them). It utterly baffled me when I first heard it. It wasn't punk, it wasn't metal, it was … what the fuck was it? And then there were pastoral pieces interspersed. Powerful shit on my adolescent brain.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I've edited that review down for you.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
