Other stuff in my CD player of late...
Oldies but goodies...
The Replacements, Tim
"Kiss me on the bus..." These guys wrote such
good rock songs. God I love them.Cocteau Twins, Heaven or Las Vegas
Their only consistently listenable album, IMO,
but I simply adore Elizabeth Fraser's voice.The Smiths, The Queen is Dead
"And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side,
Well the pleasure and
The privilege is mine"
(There is a Light that Never Goes Out)
Oh, I've been there...Ralph Vaughan Williams, Symphony #5
Heavenly. I like his "Fantasia on a Theme" too...Rachmaninoff, Concertos #2 & 3
Played by Rachmaninoff himself. The man was supernatural, a god.Charlie Mingus, Ah Um
Moody, deep, inspired, Jazz at its best...I must learn to play
the double bass before I die.
New(ish) Stuff to me...Billy Bragg and Wilco, Mermaid Avenue
A collaboration with the late Woody Guthrie, one of the best
albums of '98. Superb.Underworld, Beacoup Fish
Most listenable techno album I've heard...hypnotic, clever,
and fun.Big Ass Truck, Kent
Memphis rock/funk quintet nobody's heard of but one of the
freshest and most musicianly young players out there. I've
seen them four times and they kick big ass....Brasil 2Mil Compilation
This disk is incredible. Some of the coolest Brasilian acts
today all in one place...and Portuguese is so beautiful to
listen to...oh, my I love parts of this disk, esp. the first
track.Morphine, Like Swimming
Not their finest album, but their swansong...I was at their
last show at the Middle East, home base of sorts for this
Cambridge, MA trio, and their last American gig in Central
Square...Mark Sandman's death makes me so sad...
"Swing it Low" perhaps the greatest makeout song ever written
(not that I'd know...)Just thought I'd share. I'm feeling strangely joyful...hypermania, perhaps.
It'll pass. Eat lots of turkey!
