What's the last album/CD you bought?
Mine: Kathleen Edwards - Back To Me. Highly recommended! Maybe slightly below Failer (which it resembles,) but not much. Favorite songs: "Back To Me," "In State," and "Summerlong."

3. Symphonies of the Planets: Volume 1
A must have for fans of Brian Eno, Harold Budd, FSOL, etc. It's actually the various magnetic signatures and various signals of the planets of our solar system translated into patterns of sound.

There's five volumes produced by NASA, all now out of print. I think Italy's Fiorella Terenzi did something similar back in the early 90s, too.

4. The Futureheads
Good album. It's only their first, and I'm sure the next one will be even better.

8. Nick Drake was brilliant....
Too bad his sister is whoring out his music for commercials.

10. Yes. I didn't know who was doing the whoring out, but --
-- it was clear that someone was.

I don't associate the words and music of Nick Drake with automobiles, do you?

This sister evidently denied use of Nick's songs for a respectful and intelligent documentary by Jonathan Cauette called TARNATION. Cauette is gay and I think the sister must be very sensitive about that association. Not sure.

But your phrase "whoring out" definitely works for me.

11. Well I didn't buy it, but a family member
brought in some classical record albums and The Supreme's album, "Where Did Our Love Go?" That's a good song but I haven't listened to the album yet. Is it a good album?

You can't go wrong with any of their stuff, really.

26. ani difranco's latest
knuckle down.

i was way into her back in the day, but then let go for a while. this the first of hers that i've purchased since upupup.

it rocks. nothing like a divorce to give you ample material. she's got some political stuff too but it's more refined and not as intense as her earlier stuff.

that woman is like a fine wine -she's just getting better better with age. musically, lyrically, it's just awesome.

smart woman.

:hi: cu! Again, love that pic of Dario Fo. We had friends who ran a theater here and he was one of their faves. We saw Accidental Death of An Anarchist last spring at a big venue here, and loved it.

42. hey lady!
i have many dramatic writing ideas in the works, and revamping accidental death is on the list. it's so intimidating, i need to get off my butt and just do it, as the kids say.

47. cool!
I would be interested in hearing more sometime. One of the guys who ran the theater group, it was called The New Group Theatre ( homage, I suspect?), was in Accidental Death and was very funny. He is now an Equity guy? and is in all the bigger plays here, like the Steve Martin penned meeting of Einstein and a philosopher whose name I can't recall. I love funny politcal plays.

27. The Byrds- Sweetheart of the Rodeo
John Lennon- Acoustic, and
Big Star- #1 Record/ Radio City

Actually, I bought these back in mid-February so I've gone an unusually long while for me w/o buying CDs.

Last LP I bought was The Guess Who's American Woman just last week, to replace the totally trashed copy I had. I also picked up a couple dozen 45 RPM's, my best find being a 1973 DJ copy (it was never released as a stock copy) of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." It's valued at $40-50 in near mint- condition and I got it for $10. Woohoo! :-)

30. Tori Amos' The Beekeeper...anyone got any stories?
Apparently it's a theme album...I can't make heads nor tails about it though. Haven't gone googling for it.

There are some songs I like quite a bit, some...alright...

33. I like it quite a bit
The theme seems to be following her though life-changing experiences. Note the different elements in the CD booklet. It seems to be an extension of Little Earthquakes - LE is a classic IMO.

36. I agree...LE is great!
I liked Under the Pink slightly less, and haven't bought one of her cds again until Beekeeper (I really dig "Sleeps With Butterflies" which is why I bought it, have been pleasantly surprised so far).

I had read, though, that on Beekeeper she was working on some kind of...thing to do with women... and how bee thingies have six sides (six locations)...and the songs in each location are supposed to be kind of related...

I don't know. Maybe I'm over thinking it, LOL. Which are your favorites? I think "Hoochie Woman" is hilarious, I'm impressed how she conveys a sense of humor in her songs sometimes.

37. Favorites include..
Edited on Sun Apr-10-05 05:29 PM by mvd
"Barons Of Suburbia," "Ribbons Undone" (one of her best and prettiest songs ever,) "Cars And Guitars," the short but sweet "Original Sinsuality," the haunting "The Beekeeper," "Hoochie Woman," and "Goodbye Pisces." I could have done without the repetitive and funky "Witness."

I like From The Choirgirl Hotel except for "She's Your Cocaine," but I'm most a fan of the piano-playing and folky Tori. :hi:

I'll take a listen to those next. 19 is a lot of songs to get through, not that I'm complaining...I've missed her style (been listening to a lot of men with guitars lately!).

39. The Best of the Guess Who (note:
This is the old 1991 release, used. It had better songs than the new remastered release, but as I already own remastering software, why waste $16 when $8+the time to master (30 minutes) is eminently more effective? :D )
