"In Gabriel's Garden" by Wynton Marsalis is getting a lot of play, and I
really like it.

I've been listening to a whole lot of barenaked ladies lately - but
that's just in preperation for the concert on the 27th of next month.
Woo Woo!
Other than that, the usual Ani DiFranco has been getting a lot of play
on my semi-new stereo, as have the beatles, and Red Hot Chilli Peppers -
What Hits? which I bought last night.

I Just picked up Sinaed Lohan's CD, N Mermaid....really good...sounds like
Sinaed O'Conner at times, like Sheryl Crow at others, but it's just a really
listenable cd. :)

I was pretty pleased with the Sinead Lohan album as well. Now, where did
I put it? :( She has an earlier album, released only in Ireland, which
I never heard; reviews I saw indicated that the the NO MERMAID album
was a big improvement, so I probably won't hunt down the earlier
release.

I just picked up Poignant Plecostamos' CD. It translates into "Touch the cow"
but I can't remember the record title in French. It's a great blend of fusion
jazz, traditional folk music, funk, and ska. I love it!

I went looking for it at Borders today. The Borders staff said they
wished the band would bring some over for them to sell.

I've seen copies at Tower Records. I'm sure you could contact Poignant
Plecostomus at poignant@cyberspace.org and get mail-order info.

I met them when they were touring small music shops for the
Gordon tour.
They were pretty fly for some white guys,

oh wowzers, I'm extra jealous now carla. last time they were in detroit
they heard from this girl who had cancer and couldn't make it to the
show cause she had chemo that day, they canceled all their stuff for the
afternoon and visited her. Now if only they'd come back on a day I was
in chemo.... <grin>

I just got a really cool album by Queensryche. It's called Mindcrime, and
is a heavy-metal concept album! The really amazing thing is that they pull
it off, and do it really well!

Yup, "Operation Mindcrime" put Queensryche on the map. I still listen to it
once in a while. It's a "rock opera"!

A few years ago in my life as a stagehand I worked the "Empire Tour" show in
Muskegan. This was the last tour where they did the whole of Operation
Mindcrime. It was a pretty cool show, with some projected animation. But
the best part was when the band suddenly stopped and the lead singer asked
"...So who knows how Mary died?" (hears shout from front row) "Death by
electric pleasure toys? No, but that would be a good way to go...".

Never listened to Queensryche, but that sounds exciting. I remember
when they were getting popular and how it was so anticipated because
they were rather local (well, Seattle is local for most of WA state)
before the Tacoma sound took off-- ah, no, most bands that are
associated with the 'Seattle sound' and 'grunge' are actually from
Tacoma.

I was a stagehand for Toad the Wet Sprocket and Hootie and the Blowfish,
Evan Dando, They Might be Giants and Freedy Johnston played
at record stores that I worked at and I set up their equiptment.
That's my only claim to fame in the music world.
Well, that and the fact that My cousin is Wally Plesant.

I think that's more of a claim to fame than most of us mere mortals have...

Yeah, maybe so, but Hootie was such an asshole, that I can't
listen to his music anymore.

The closest I've ever come to fame is that "Weird Al" Yankovik shook my
right hand following a concert in my home town.

Being related to Wally Pleasant is much cooler than going anywhere near
Hootie and the Blowfish. :)

I've tried over the years to give Bob Weir's _Heaven Help The Fool_ a chance
but on the -rare- occasion that I pull the album out and actually listen to
it, all I can think is "Man! This is *so* cheesy!" But for some reason it
never ends up in the return CD pile. I probably need some sort of counseling.
