[re #149: perhaps "Bahbra" would be a clearer indication of your intention..]

151, 149> I concur, mostly on account of 151 is what I was gonna say. ;}
Ashke> Hey, given Barbra's popularity and sales, as well as her concert
prices, you clearly have the majority view. *shrug* As any good hooker will
tell you, different strokes for different folks.

<bursts out laughing> ok. I just like her music. Mostly the earlier stuff,
but I do like it. but I would NEVER see her in concert and pay for it because
frankly, she's not worth THAT much. 150-1000 a ticket? Hell no!

U2 - "All That You Can't Leave Behind You"
Decent enough, but not as good as Zooropa or Achtung Baby.
Whether it's better or worse than their early stuff or stuff
from the Unforgettable Fire / Joshua Tree period will depend
on your opinions of those periods respectively, but it's kind
of an apples and oranges comparison..

Cassandra Wilson, "New Moon Daughter".
Interesting CD... Wilson is considered a "jazz" singer, but this isn't exactly
jazz. Some interesting covers (including U2 and the Monkees), some original
tunes, all done in a rather sparse, mostly acoustic production. And the
arrangements are closer to Tom Waits than anything else.

CBC Radio's Saturday night show, Radio Sonic. Now playing Smudge, by UNGIN
(?). Sounds
like electronic/jazz/trance??? They're giving away a cd by Ladytron to
anyone who can make up "What a Ladytron might be". Some band from
Liverpool. Didn't some other band come from there?

I rather suspect the band took its name from the Roxy Music song by
that name. Of course that only pushes the question back a few decades.
now playing: Beth Orton - "Best Bits EP" Does anyone know anything about
Jazz vocalist Terry Callier, who sings two duets with Orton on this EP?
I really like his vocals on the tracks they sing together..

This evening selection (okay.....all day) is Ute Lemper - Berlin Cabaret
Songs. She covers a bunch of 20's cabaret songs, all done in German. I
hadn't realized it, but there is an English version as well....which is the
one that I had intended to buy. But I'm thrilled with this one! I will,
however, buy the English one one of these days.

Tori Amos, "Past the Mission."
Although really, I think I'd be better off listening to the Texas Playboys.

Emmylou Harris - "Wrecking Ball"
checked this out from the public library, as I'd been curious about it
for a while. I wasn't expecting it to sound quite so, ummm, Daniel Lanois,
but I like it anyway.. I guess this is what Malcolm Burn is up to after
Crash Vegas.

(Eminem [f. Elton John], "Stan." this is the third time I've watched
the clip, and I'm still not sure of how I feel about the performance.)

I'm sure that the vocal quality Elton John brings to the work does not
match that of Dido in offering a tonal counterpoint to the foreground
narrative offered by Eminem.

(that's part of my sentiment, in more words than I would have used to
express that particular fraction.) ;)
(Monica, some tripe off of her new album, cuz it's on MTV and I'm not
sufficiently compelled to turn on the CD player and listen to one of my
new Christine Lavin albums.)

I was in Border's the other day, looking to kill a few minutes. I ended up
spending about half an hour listening to a CD called "Distillation" by Erin
McKeown at one of the listening stations. I bought it, but I'm still baffled
that I like it so much. It's alternately girly folk-pop (a la Lisa Loeb or
Paula Cole) and old-style jazz (there's a Rodgers and Hart tune), and for some
reason I haven't been able to stop playing it. So that's on right now.
