Here's the first recording running through my system this year, getting 2008 off on the right foot. What's yours been?

THE ART OF FUGUE
J.S. Bach
Fretwork

Harmonia Mundi

I started with Bach, too, the Double Concerto in D minor for 2 violins (about 5 hours ago ...).

It's always good to start a new year by going bach to the basics. :yes:

Coleman Hawkins Meets Ben Webster. A true jazz classic!

My wife pulled out Dan Fogelberg ~ High Country Snows, an album that I purchased new for her first. Also one by him I do not remember called Exiles. She pulled a Pink Floyd ~ The Piper at the Gates of Dawn a German pressing looked very good. She commented that is it not nice to have albums in alpha order? Honey Pink Floyd goes into the P's, we laughed.

First music I heard for the new year was "WELCOME TO THE MACHINE" by Pink Floyd accompanying the TRANSFORMERS style Float in the Pasadena Rose Parade.

Since I'm a big Pink Floyd fan I thought this was cool.

Time out - Dave Brubeck

Carmina Burana Rafael Fruhbeck De Burgos Angel 36333

Nothing yet but since seeing this post I am now considering quite a few to play first. A decision like this could set the tone for all of 08'

The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin

The Best of Erik Satie
Marc Bolan and T-Rex - Electric Warrior
Bay City Rollers - It's A Game
Moby Grape - Best Of
Three Dog Night - Naturally
Guess Who - American Woman (acquired yesterday at the S.A)

I guess my music is running the gamut of every genre... next up High School Musical, Hannah Montanna and The Jonas Brothers for my nieces

Weird... I heard that on the radio driving home last night around 1 am. And I've been looking for my copy for the last couple of days.

I was listening to Sarah Brightman's Live in Las Vegas at the turn of the year.

First album I pulled out this morning.

I always play Hendrix Band of Gypsies, on new year nite. Try to get as close to midnite as I can. The part on the album where Hendrix say's Happy New Year, first of all.

Working on the basement bench on a couple RTR decks I didn't want to listen to the radio, so I tossed a cassette into the Nak I've got hooked up down here.

Wishbone Ash, "Live Dates"

"Across the Universe" soundtrack.

Well, I went to sleep last night listening to some 80's:music:

Small world! I have a buddy who does the same thing MOST of the time. Sometimes we thought it was a bit sad thinking about 69 flipping over to 1970, Jimi's last year.:no: Somewhere in the jam Jimi mutters something like "kiss my behind 1969", that always got us back laughing.:smoke::smoke:

This year we happened to be viewing the AWESOME video of The Who- "Live At The Isle Of Wight.:music: My GOD those guys were tight as Dicks hatband back then, again 1970. September I think...

For the record since this idea came up I am currently jamming "Machine Gun" on my new vintage Sansui speakers that are from around 1970. Some kid would freak if he heard the sonic thunder these old speakers are dishing out.

I rededicate this to all the soldiers fighting in Chicago, Milwaukee, and New York, and oh yes the soldiers that are STILL fighting in Vietnam, and last but not least the soldiers trapped with an invisible enemy in our latest political death machine, Iraq

Should have been Hot Wired from Porter Wagoner's last release, but I was distracted.

Hot Tuna - First Pull up, Then Pull Down

Mothers of Invention - Weasels Ripped My Flesh

I did Banf of Gypsies, too.

Japanese Polydor LP.

It was:

Amen Brothers.

The first music i played in 2008 was Rolling Stones - Sweet Virginia
