What are you listening to at the moment?

Robert Leslie - A Shard of the Mosaic. Met him in the subway in Brooklyn about 10 years ago and have been fond of this little folk gem of an album over the years.
 
Justin Taylor, harpsichord. Bach & Italie. Wonderful Toccata in E minor BWV 914, the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue in D minor, Italian Concerto, some Vivaldi, Albinoni and Scarlatti.
 
Antônio Carlos Jobim "Stone Flower" (album)
Genre: Jazz, bossa nova

I have this album on a CD reissue. Calling music "timeless" is a bit cliché but Jobim's albums are truly timeless. I've listened to this CD countless times and I've never gotten tired of it.

"Tereza My Love" – 4:24
"Children's Games" – 3:30
"Choro" – 2:10
"Brazil" – 7:25
"Stone Flower" – 3:21
"Amparo" – 3:41
"Andorinha" – 3:32
"God and the Devil in the Land of the Sun" – 2:23
"Sabiá" – 3:58
"Brazil" [alternate take] – 5:25

All the best,

On the computer and listening to my son play Chopin's revolution etude on the piano. I must say, it's as good as it gets for me right now :)

from Anime 'Big Fish and Begonia' written by Qien Ra 銭雷, man...

Lou Reed "Perfect Day" from the Transformer album.

[Chorus]
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Things are not always what they appear to be.
