During the week with work, family ,grandkids, etc.....I never seem to get around to it.

Almost all of my listening happens in the car these days on the way to and from the office via cd's and the car stereo/cd player. But most of my music, even the obscure prog, is on cd's one way or the other so I can hear them in the car. For the vinyl that isn't.....then I do have to actually play the turntable. 

I bought a new Denon (automatic return) table because my old Onkyo doesn't work correctly but I still haven't connected it yet...LOL.....the older I get the lazier I become.

Caravan: Paradise Filter

the Cramps: Blues Fix

Hatfield and the North: s/t

Bob Dylan: the Times They Are A-Changin`

Genesis:...Calling All Stations...

The Cure - Pornography: The drums are looped, but man they sound Teutonic. Really bleak and oppressive, although I find the guitar melodies that occasionally kick in during "A Strange Day" rather neat and not too morbid. "The Figurehead" is total paranoia. It's a fairly repetitive album, but in a cool hypnotic sense, although "Siamese Twins" kinda drags a bit.

Voivod - Dimension Hatross: I love the production on this, as the guitars sound full and massive while resonating as "swirling" rather than "meaty". There's still plenty of speedy thrash metal to their sound here, but the bizarre guitar chords give this all-encompassing effect at times. The vocals often sound cool and detached, and occasionally possess a punk sneer. 

Deep Purple - Fireball: "Anyone's Daughter" would be a nice breather of a ballad, but the lyrics are just too obnoxious. Even when I was young I thought, "I wish this thing had trippy lyrics instead." My old vinyl had "Strange Kind of Woman" instead of "Demon's Eye", neither being a pinnacle of lyrical prose either, but "Strange Kind of Woman" had that cool mellow part with the falsetto in the middle that worked for me.

The Grateful Dead - The Grateful Dead: Speaking of obnoxious lyrics, I can't imagine blasting "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" in the car with the windows down as being a wise decision. As a whole, I really like this album though, with lots of highly energetic numbers, with "New New Minglewood Blues" being a fav.

Oneohtrix Point Never - Transmat Memories
