    The Kinks; Low Budget

    . . . every time I listen to ANY Kinks (or ANY of Ray or Dave Davies solo efforts), I always muse to myself that The Kinks were one of the most overlooked rock bands of the century. These guys produce rock and roll just the way it should be.

    Amen to that Bro.

    Check it out sometime...

    Deep Enough To Dream
    Chris Rice

    Lazy summer afternoon
    Screened-in porch and nothin’ to do
    I just kicked off my tennis shoes
    Slouchin’ in a plastic chair
    Rakin’ my fingers through my hair
    I close my eyes and I leave ‘em there
    And I yawn, and sigh, and slowly fade away

    Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen
    Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast
    Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
    And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
    Do I ever have to wake up

    Awakened by a familiar sound
    A clumsy fly is buzzin’ around
    He bumps the screen and he tumbles down
    He gathers about his wits and pride
    And tries again for the hundredth time
    ‘Cause freedom calls from the other side
    And I smile and nod, and slowly drift away

    Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen
    Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast
    Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
    And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
    Do I ever have to wake up

    ‘Cause peace is pouring over my soul
    See the lambs and the lions playin’
    I join in and I drink the music
    Holiness is the air I’m breathin’
    My faithful heroes break the bread and answer all of my questions
    Not to mention what the streets are made of
    My heart’s held hostage by this love

    And these brilliant colors I have never seen
    I join a billion people for a wedding feast
    I reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
    I’m deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen
    Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast
    Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
    And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
    Do I ever have to wake up
    Do I ever have to wake up
    Do I really have to wake up now

    Last night I listened to two new SACD's:

    Big Star - #1 Record/Radio City

    Amazing to hear this in pure DSD remastered quality. I have owned the Original pressings, A white vinyl German pressing of #1 Record, the original CD version of the combined releases and now this SACD. It is amazing.

    Any of you guys who love power pop or Wilco, REM, etc. should give a listen. Those bands all credit Big Star as a huge influence.


    Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (30th anniversary ed.)

    Outstanding re-release of an outstanding record. I was 9 years old when it hit the airwaves and played a 45 of "Bennie and The Jets" to death.

    Did a bit of tweaking and positioning with my 5.1 setup tonite and auditioned my latest SACD in 5.1.

    Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms

    Majorly impressed. I am not a huge fan of 5.1 mixes but at least three cuts were compelling. Money, Why Worry, and BIA were faves with Why Worry being far and away the best 5.1 mix.
