What Are You Listening To Right This Very Second?

[masterofsparks]

I'll buy them as long as they keep making them. This is their Rick Rubin comeback album and, after one listen, I'm onboard. My wife even stopped working to comment on how good the album is.

How serious are you Master?   

Have you done ten spins, yet?

Questions, questions, questions!

PT Anderson serious.

John Cage would recommend listening more closely.

Personally, I'd record it for my podcast.

I'd ask you how it smelled, but this isn't the "What Are You Smelling Right This Very Second?" thread. (Why don't we have that?)

Revisiting all the Tortoise albums.

Where should I start?  I've seen them live when a friend dragged me along.  I really enjoyed it, but I didn't pursue them further for some reason.

It kind of depends what you're after. My favorites are TNT and Millions Now Living Will Never Die. Those are much more in dub/post-rock/understated territory. 'Beacons of Ancestorship' (most recent one, I believe) has a much more propulsive and live sound (where Millions etc. and even more so TNT are very much products of the studio and production). Standards and 'It's All Around You' are somewhere in between.

Actually around the time Millions Now Living came out, the guy at the record store recommended it to me, and it starts off with the 20-minute+ 'Djed', which I now love, but it was not a song to make an immediate impression.

The first album I can honestly take or leave. It comes across now as more of a collection of riffs/ideas than as a cohesive whole.

I saw them live a couple of years ago. It was a great show, I hope to get a chance to see them again sometime.

I assume you can still get it through iTunes, since I just downloaded it Sunday, but the site says the audio is no longer available http://www.npr.org/2011/08/06/137182758/newport-folk-2011-gillian-welch-live-in-concert

New Mountain Goats.  Only listened a couple times but I like it, and their stuff usually takes a few listens to really hit me. I've become a late convert to them (via Best Show bump).

By the way, ordered through Merge and got some awesome add-ons. Merge sampler CD, a 7" Mountain Goats, online download.  They treat you right.
