Industry and Thrift in my Truck CD player:
especially the tune i consider to be our
*true* national anthem: "Lumpy, Beanpole,
and Dirt."

Lately I've been trying to figure out the Bartok string quartets, which i keep
hearing are _the_ modern chamber music pieces. So far Bartok is winning.
By way of resting my ears, I've also been listening to the Dvorjak piano
quintet a whole lot.

To get to know Bartok's string quartets, start with no. 1, listen to it
over and over until it starts to make sense, then go on to no. 2. After
no. 4 the learning curve starts to go downhill.
Or try the other great 20C string quartet writer first: Shostakovich.
True, there's 15 of them, but they're much more accessible. Go through
the first 3 or 4 at speed, and if you feel you've gotten anything out of
them you're ready to listen to the middle quartets, of which no. 8 is
the highlight. The last four are really tough nuts to crack, though.
But after Bartok, even they are easy.

No. 4 and 5 are starting to make sense. Slowly. But one at a time does seem
like the better appraoch, now that you mention it.

While it is more time appropriate to be listening to Al Stewart's
"Last Days of the Century" CD (recommended) I have listened to his
(Time) "Between the Wars" CD (higher recommendation) more in the past
week, it plays to well as one peice.

I am listening to one of the two about-to-be-released Melanie albums. I
get to own them early!
Patti Smith has a new CD coming out tomorrow. I will be listening to that
soon.

If my cd player had a needle, I'd be wearing out William Orbit's Pieces in
a Modern Style. His synthed Adagio for Strings is one of the better
versions I've heard. And the others, covers of John Cage, Satie, Ravel,
and even Gorecki are quite fun.

In heavy rotation lately (past 30 days) has been Zappa's _We're Only In It
For The Money_, Chicago II & III, and Phish's recent 6-CD live venture
_Hampton Comes Alive_, in which the boys do a -funky- cover of Will Smith's
'Gettin' Jiggy With It'
Approaching heavy rotation is Handel's Water Music and Stevie Wonder's _Songs
In The Key Of Life_

Ron Sunshine and Full Swing and Dave Stucky and the Rhythm Gang have
stayed in the 5 cd changer, while the other three slots have been hosting
other CDs. A good Jim Croce collection is on now.

"The Wayouts" has been playing a lot lately, followed by "J. Walker and the
Pedestrians" on the same MD. Both of these were cassettes from local Lansing
area bands back when I did sound.
Aimee Mann, "Bachelor #2" (recent release) has been on the car tape, and is
growing on me. Wish it had some more uptempo tunes, though. Everything has
about the same tempo and the same productions.

Hmmm.. what lately.. I guess Faith Hill's 'Faith' album, Jennifer Knapp's
latest is great, I've also been playing Ginny Owens a lot, she sounds a bit
like Dar Williams I think, I also picked up a couple of CDs by a band from
the Netherlands called The Gathering that I've enjoyed quite a bit.

I go through phases o being addicted to Marc Almond, and seem to be in one
lately. Last week, the two repeat plays were "Mother Fist" and "Vermine in
Ermine" ("Johnny sick of his girlfriend, he put a bomb under her").

Heavy rotation? Um...Syd Straw <both "Suprise" and "War and Peace">, REM
"Fables of the Reconstruction", and Mission UK "Carved in Sand". That's
all I can think of right now.

I'm gonna live my life
Like very day's the last
not a simple goodbye
it all goes by so fast
but now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
no I can't cry hard enough
for you to hear me now
there it goes
up in the sky
there it goes
beyond the clouds
for no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
no I can't cry hard enough
for you to hear me now.
Gonna look hack in vain
and see you for the first time
bla bla something something
like a child letting go of his kite
Ok, time to stop now.
I love that song.
It's the only thing that the williams brothers ever did that's worth listening
to tho.
