Celtas Cortos, the new 2-CD live set. I only have this on loan, my
friend had a co-worker who brought it back from Barcelona.
Celtas Cortos is the Spanish Celtic Rock Party Band.

Stewart Copeland, "Rapa Nui" soundtrack
Yes! Found this little gem at Encore just this morning. I hadn't had any
new Copeland in years, and this is quite nice indeed. Sounds like him, but
not too much (it's fresh) like his older stuff.

Aqua Velvets -- "Guitar Noir"
not brilliant but a nice moody instrumental "surf" album in the style I
prefer (meaning more of the atmospheric & moody spanish/mediterranean-
sounding guitar stuff and less of the frantic high-speed guitar energy
that some surf artists (e.g. Dick Dale) tend towards (though I do like
a lot of Dale's stuff I tend to like the slower surf stuff better)

Sounds lovely. But if I buy it, I'm sure my father would steal it from me.

Here's the trifecta to make Mike's head explode:
Guns and Roses: Appetite for Destruction.
I listened to Tsunami, Paul Weller, and Killdozer earlier in the day, is that
redeeming?

It's from 1993 (used CD). It's pretty good, I just got it so I don't have
a definitive opinion.
B52's, "Good Stuff" (another just-purchased used CD). Not bad, produced by
Don "Call 1-800-DONWAS to revive your career now" Was.

raven - is 'Ghostyhead' the new Rickie Lee you're talking about, or is there
something newer than it?
The last movement of the Dvorak piano quintet.

re #386 B52's "Good Stuff": For the B52's, this was an especially good album.
Just so you know, I am a B52's fan, but the work here was progress. Fred
Schneider showcased his new singing talent-- he's actually gotten to where
he can sing quite well. Some of the songs they wrote themselves were a little
lousy, but other material written for them is good. Perhaps this album was
poorly received because it strayed from their party image in some places, but
even compared to _Cosmic Thing_, _Good Stuff_ is really good-- and in some
aspects, is better.

Hmmm.. I couldn't stand the singles from the album and generally
hate Fred Schneider singing.. I own and like (not love) their debut
album and "Cosmic Thing" but just couldn't stand a single thing I heard
off of "Good Stuff" Maybe there's other stuff on the album that I've
missed out on but it seems more likely the band has turned in a direction
that suits Jon's tastes better than mine..

I still have a little bit of "Fanfare for the Common Man" rolling about in
my noggin. I got some CD's from BMG today and I'm very happy.
I got Tracy Chapman, Natalie Merchant "Tigerlily", Aaron Copland's American
Music, John Denver's boxed set and No Doubt. I like what I got and I'm
pondering what to buy next. I'm probably going to buy something that I had
in my vinyl collection.

(whoa...the first time I read that response, I read 'meat puppets' as
'muppets'. That was good for a double take at least :)

I dimly remember liking the Meat Puppets' "Up On The Sun" way back in
the vinyl era... saw them live at Rick's at East Lansing around then.
Rolling Stones, BRIDGES TO BABYLON.

Future Sound of London -- misc stuff, I've got their "We Have Explosive"
and "Papua New Guinea" CD singles on shuffle play with their "Lifeforms"
EP.. not very successful as far as shuffle-play suitability is concerned..

Mekons -- "Retreat From Memphis" Not one of their best, probably
belongs on the list of things I wouldn't replace if it were to disappear..
Would-be Mekons listeners are instead advised to seek out the excellent
import-only albums "Rock 'n' Roll" and "The Curse of the Mekons", and to
soundly curse the record company that wouldn't release them here.
