It's this
http://www.ris.net/~tony/stones/alt3.htm , a fab boot collection of b-sides, one disc in a 5 disc collection. You're right about Johnny Cash, btw.

I've been listening to a lot of Baroque music, particularly peices by J.S. Bach. I have an exam on Monday in a course entitled 'The Age of Bach and Handel' and need to know a lot of information about these peices inside out. Great music, but memorizing all sorts of details about them is a bit tedious.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

Snakebite
I am currently entranced in the new album released last week by former Wall of Voodoo lead singer Stan Ridgway, called Snakebite: blacktop ballads & fugitive songs
I think all you guys would love this! Check it out.

I just got the Eels' BLINKING LIGHTS, and it's a rare love-it-from-the-first-play record. Nobody who likes Wilco or The Replacements (for instance) should miss this.
It's also a beautiful package, and I can't help but think that royalties from that song on the SHREK soundtrack have given them some nice artistic flexibility in lots of ways.
Arcade Fire is the other thing haunting me most right now. Also a gorgeous package, come to think. SUCH a beautiful record.

echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load

Agree completely smm. I listened to the entire album this afternoon, while driving back home from New Haven. I've read a few reviews where crtitics have been bitching about the instrumental interludes, but I don't have a problem with them. Quite the contrary - they're like little breaks between servings of a great seven-course meal.selfmademug wrote:I just got the Eels' BLINKING LIGHTS, and it's a rare love-it-from-the-first-play record.

This album's been growing on me more each day. If you're interested in seeing e live smm, he's playing the Somerville Theater (just up the road from my aunt's house) at the end of June. I'll be attending the NY Town Hall show.

Thanks for the tip! Especially cause the Somerville Theater tends to be off my radar-- a lot of apparently important folk stuff goes on there, but I kinda hate folk, so there you go. Though I did see Aimee Mann there a year or two back, and Billy Bragg once even more years back. It's a lovely venue that I guess I have a prejudice against because it's a magnet for events that draw hard-core lefty types who (it might surprise some board members to learn) tend to turn my stomach somewhat.Who Shot Sam? wrote: If you're interested in seeing e live smm, he's playing the Somerville Theater (just up the road from my aunt's house) at the end of June.

Want Two. Nearly all the songs are growers, and there are so many interesting aspects to his songwriting. I'm in love with Rufus.
There's a track from sis Martha's debut on the current Word of Mouth CD sampler called Factory. Fantastic stuff too. Critics have been pretty much drooling here, seems like with good reason. Anyone know it? How much talent is there in that family?

There's more to life than books, you know, but not much more

Matador at Fifteen
a 2 disc and one dvd compilation of matadors's greatests hits and rarities between 1999 and 2004. It ranges from interpol to mission of burma, cat power and guided by voices. as well as some stephen Malkmus and the jicks and belle and sebastian. I think its indie heaven.
right right now its Yo la Tengo with Don't have to be so sad.

Er, a bit of a departure...
Saxophonist Charles Lloyd's two most recent ECM albums, both excellent. One - "Which Way Is East" - is a collaboration with the legendary jazz drummer/percussionist Billy Higgins - it was Higgins last recording before he passed away from liver failure.
