I tried to recall the first but it’s fuzzy, I do recall specific early events but it’s based more on other events.

‘82 came home with a 45 of AC/DC let’s get it up and J Geils Centerfold. I was 10, I played violin and acoustic guitar and a friend and I each played one as an “air guitar” and jumped up and down on my bed. My mom came in with a WTF look

‘85 I was 13 and my oldest brother was living in Houston and just had my first nephew. I got to fly down out of Pittsburgh by myself and I remember rocking Ozzy Bark at the Moon and Van Halen 1984 on my Walkman during the flight.

‘89 I got my first CD player for Christmas ,the same oldest brother bought me Steely Dan Can’t Buy a Thrill. So clean, no hiss, no cracks, no pops, love at first listen.

2005 my wife won a fancy IPod classic at my work Christmas Party. I joined iTunes and learned how to rip my library. AC/DC Highway to Hell was my first rip and it sounded exactly like the CD when I attempted to sync them and toggle. Been playing with that ever since then, love the ease of use and only really needing one device that I already carry daily (a good cell phone) for a source for my whole collection which still amazes me.

I also have fond memories of swim team in high school and practicing with my Sports Walkman. I think I was the only kid in school who used theirs in pools.

This thread is about music we're listening to now. Please stay on topic.

It's a bit late here to put it on, but tomorrow evening, once back home, I'll have a listen to it once more. Amazing piece of art.

It's already dawn where I'm in. Have a nice rest.

Looks cleaner than it plays. The Puffin phono pre’s Magic function makes a huge difference with this lp. Too bad they had to cut the lowest octave so much to record this for vinyl. Still enjoyable. Grades C+

"Bulan di atas Asia" literally means "The Moon over Asia". Back then Indra Lesmana recorded this tune with JavaJazz. JavaJazz members at the time of recording (circa mid-90s) were Indra Lesmana (keys), Embong Raharjo-RIP (sax and flute); Donny Suhendra-RIP (guitars) ; AS Mates (bass) ; Gilang Ramadhan (drums).

The recording was before the era of YouTube as one of mainstream media. This one is from Indra Lesmana's compilation album, the only trace of this band recording I could found in streaming services. Several live performances were recorded in YouTube after Embong Rahardjo passed away, and Dewa Budjana (guitar) joined the band in 2009.

[I played now through my CD-rip library. I bought the cassette in 1998, and then the CD in 2009 right before the last mainstream record store chains closed their store in Indonesia. Kinda make me eager to preserve my physical media collection even more now.]

Have a nice day everyone.

Luster : Maria Somerville is the most chilled late night electronic/guitar shoegaze sung with Irish female vocals drifting over the surface, definitely a genuine contender for my album of the year and going into my 2025 contenders playlist

Maria Somerville - Luster

I heard about it on “The Last Mixed Tape Podcast”, an Irish music critics discussion on music
