Had this CD lying next to me for a few days and finally had to play it. I am not in a good mood since I discovered how one prominent member of our (local political) party had backstabbed me on the www, which was the drop that made med sign out for good ...
Алла Пугачёва и Любаша - А Был Бы Малчик
Alla Pugacheva & Lyobasha - And There Would Be a Boy (bad translation)
This is pure Russian schlager when it is at its peak. Was looking for this album for a long time as the copied CD I had was falling to ... bits. And in Latvia I found the very last one. Alla P is the tsarevna of Russian schlager.

Full album?
That's all I ever listen to.
I even suffer through the songs that are not my favorite. The artist produced the album as a piece, I feel, so the least I can do is hear it out. OK, if I really hate a song, I'll pick and drop the needle on the next track.

Stepping Out by Diana Krall. This, IMO, is her best album because you get to hear her play the piano. And she's a much better pianist then she is a singer. With the possible exception of "Live In Paris", where she is again allowed to play, all her other albums are bland and seem as if they were phoned in. I played this one from a CDR that I use in the car.

Listened to Blue Cheer - Oh Pleasant Hope!. A great album with great songs that just cannot be composed back in the early 70's or late 60's. But still they are.
Brian Ferry - Bête Noir. Not that interesting. Most songs and arrangements sound much the same.

Diving through my pack-o-7. I have seven shelves on my CD-shelf and I pick one CD from each shelf and try to listen to them.
Yesterday I played King Crimson - Island, a very odd album. The song Ladies Of The Road is sometimes so Beatlesque.
Today I started listen to Premiata Forneria Marconi - Storia Di Un Minuto. It did take me years before I started to dig in to their (original) Italian albums.
Have to make a note here. It is said that our "hearing memory" is just seconds long or deep, but with my new Sonido oval FR BR-boxes the music sounds much punchier than before (it was years since I played this album last time).

Next: Supertramp - Even In The Quietest Moments. Gred progressive pop-rock with a dash of jazz. Great songs, great arrangements, good musicians. Perfect for read and white meat, fish, shellfish, veggies ... works always and everywhere.
Russian Bob Dylan - Boris Grebenshchikov from the cult rock group Aquarium. Perhaps the most respected rock musician on the Russian and Soviet stage. With a song, an evening ******* announcer dedicated to propagandists ...

A unique record released by Melody in 1970. Lute Music of the XVI-XVII Centuries. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it was actually written by the Soviet guitarist and lutenist Vladimir Vavilov (1925–1973), who resorted to mystification with a reference to the Renaissance for the sake of his own music of the then little-known composer, written, apparently in 1967–68 years, broke through to the viewer.Владимир Вавилов* - Лютневая Музыка XVI-XVII Веков | Discogs
