re #99: I'm not all that familiar with Suzanne Vega, but I would say don't
expect a lot of similarity between her and November Project.. which is not
to say you wouldn't like NP.. just expect something more along the lines of
a modern version of Renaissance.. hard to describe in words.. there are
samples on their webpage though..

re #98: (hmm. I just may have to listen to that Kasey Chambers CD
that's been sitting on my office shelf the past couple of months.)
re #99: (Bruce Thomas?)
(Ludacris, "Southern Hospitality," cuz that's what's on MTV at the moment.)

Sally Timms, "Cowboy Sally's Twilight Laments for Lost Buckaroos."
I ordered this from Bloodshot Records' mail order service to get
the import version with the five tracks from the first "Cowboy Sally" EP,
and also another limited edition Langford/Timms EP.

re #107: hmmm.. how much to order the expanded version, and how are the
five extra tracks? the U.S. version is a remarkably short album, but I like
it fairly well..

$18, and the five extra tracks are the "Cowboy Sally" EP which Bloodshot
says is now out of print, and which I never got around to getting.
Can't really offer a quality assessment yet.

Adventerous listening this afternoon. I heard the tail end of
a Osvaldo Pugliese CD of their hits of the 1940's - it was made in
the Chezch Republic in 2000. Mostly instrumentals. Then another one
from the dregs of CDs the buyers don't scarf up, "A Rubber Band
Christmas". Yep, carols as played on rubber bands. Sammy Haggar's
rock and roll screaming was a schock to hear next, but what a
playlist. HIs 2000 CD is Ten 13.

When you wrote "A Rubber Band Christmas", at first I was thinking
Bootsy's Rubber Band..

Boring in comparison, but still very enjoyable: Minor Earth Major Sky by A-Ha.

Michelle Shocked, "Short Sharp Shocked." This is a newly purchased UK
edition. For years I've groused about the hiss in the original 1988 USA
release and wanted to hear if the European versions were better.
Some songs seem better, "Memories of East Texas" is still pretty hissy
though. I'll have to dig out my 1988 issue and compare them.

Assorted songs, but really having fun with "Hip to be Square" by Hewy Lewis
and the News, "too late for goodbyes" by Julian Lennon, and "Otra dia mas sin
verte" by John Secada.

Ashley MacIsaac's newer album, _Helter's Celtic._ Caitlin finally returned
my copy to me at this morning's walk. I can't say I'm much more impressed
with the album than I was before I lent it to her.... too bad, really, since
I had high hopes before it came out.

Cannonball Adderly, "Jazz Workshop Revisited." Got this on CD today after
the Grexlunch. I have a sneaking suspicion I own this on vinyl.
Yusuf Lateef and Joe Zawinul are in the band. This is from 1962.

Urga, "Urgasm." Pop-rock band from Sweden, with significantly less
folk/roots influence than was promised by the catalog listing.
This wouldn't have been out of place on MTV in the 1980s.

"Fire in the Kitchen." Not officially a Chieftains recording, but it's
most or all of the Chieftains playing along with a selection of
Canadian maritimes folkies. I think it was Great Big Sea on the
preceding track.

Earlier I was listening to Kirsty MacColl's "Titanic Days," and heard this
line: "I want someone up here beside me / To wake up with heaven with all my
worries behind me." :~{
Anyway, right now I don't have music because Lost Boys is on in the background
somewhere.

Ah hah. Okay, Ken... I guess I'll need to borrow "Urgasm". NP at the Price
desk, "Seven Nation". Described at the Borders listening station as "the Dave
Matthews band with bagpipes". I don't know if I'd go that far, but it's
definitely pop-flavored.
