Christopher- cool. Tell me a little more about Acoustic Cafe. I've listened
to it a number of times, but I haven't quite figured out if it's broadcast
from Ann Arbor or not...

It's produced in Ann Arbor, but syndicated mationally. So if you're hearing
it outside of Michigan it's from a local station who received it on CD-R.
Rob Reinhart, the host, was a personality on WIQB for some time.

I believe that "Acoustic Cafe" is heard on "93.9 -- The River." Please
correct me if I am wrong.
BTW, "93.9 -- The River" is in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

There is an "Acoustic Cafe" show on a station in my area 97.7 WRRX. I'm pretty
sure this isn't part of a syndicated show, because the afternoon D.J.
regularly interviews the guests. (Umm, I should say nationally syndicated)
I would venture to guess that quite a few progressive radio stations around
North America have some sort of acoustic music show, and that one of the
popular names for these shows would be "The Acoustic Cafe".

Orinoco- Acoustic Cafe is broadcast somewhere around 10P, Sundays, on the
River, Detroit/Windsor 93.9FM.

_Reckoning_ (Grateful Dead)
I haven't listened to this album in awhile, and after jamming along with it
all day today, I can't understand why? This has my vote one of the very best
"official" albums the Dead has ever put out. Its a live acoustic album, taken
from shows at the Warfield and Radio City Music Hall circa 1980. I really
regret never seeing an acoustic Dead show in person (my first show was in
1984). Wonderful album!
<btw, replace the question mark in the 2nd line with a period>

'currently capturing my interest', eh?
That'd have to be Rickie Lee Jones' _Naked Music_, another live album. The
title describes it well - except for a bassist on one track, it's just her
and her guitar and/or piano. Sparse, but very well done.

I'm still currently intrigued with Joe Jackson's _Body and Soul_ (1984).
There's this amazingly astute anthem to love at the end of the millenium
called "Happy Ending":
"I'm in a movie, where boy meets girl...
What happens to me, in this brave new world?
...
Do I listen to my head? Do I listen to my heart?
Do I try to feel the same as I feel when we're apart?
Do I think about the end, when it's only just a start?
Is there nothing we can do about it?
(Anyone?)
Anyone can be so hard-hearted
(But everyone?)
Still everybody wants a happy ending...
La-la-la-la-lah..."

Ah, a something I can just jump right into. Currently capuring my
intrest is "Te Deum", by Avo Part, and "Career of Evil" by Blue Oyster
Cult (Huzzah, Huzzah) in their "Secret Treaties" album.

I love BOC. _Fire of Unknown Origin_ is one of my *faves*... In fact, I
think I just *gotta* put it on now...
"We've been livin' in the flames...
We've been eatin' up our brains...
Oh please, don't let these shakes go ooooon..."
Hehehehehe... Can you guess that tune?
I don't think I've heard Part's _Te Deum_, yet. I have heard _Litany_,
though, which was nice.

Litany is very cool. It's on the 'Te Deum' album, I believe.

The one I've heard is on the _Litany_(1996) album. Perhaps there's another
litany on _Te Deum_?

Current interests...
1) U2, BOY: I already mentioned this in the U2 item, I think.
I seem to be in a mood to relive my early adult years through
guitar pop albums.
2) Troka, TROKA: very hot Finnish instrumental folk group with a
roaring acoustic bass underpinning. The Hungarian and Scandinavian
stuff all seems to be tied together, somehow. This is due for
a USA release on the Northside label next year.
3) Vulcheva-Jenkins Incident, CROSS THE DANUBE:
So this Bulgarian singer fell in love with an English guitarist
at a European folk festival, and they got married and had an
album. A mix of Bulgarian trad, English trad, and some originals,
in a setting dominated instrumentally by the acoustic guitar.
I love it, but I can't say your reaction would be the same if you
weren't already thoroughly soaked in Bulgarian singing style.

Higher-pitched, somewhat nasal, off-key, and eerie.

Mark, sounds like you're describing *my* singing. ;-> By the way, when I say
in a different item that I can't stand BOC, I also have to admit that I
haven't heard the two albums mentioned above.

I listened Sunday night to Detroit's The Planet 96.3 FM show _Big Sonic
Heaven_. I think it started around 10P. They played stuff like "Crystal
Wrists" from Peter Murphy's _Deep_ and "Black Celebration" from the album of
the same name by Depeche Mode, along with some new Ivy and other cool
stuff...

Big Sonic Heaven is a fairly decent show.
