I was a Jethro Tull fan when I was a wee sprout, so I'll pass this along.
Whoever owns the Chrysalis label now (EMI?) has started a new reissue
campaign for the Jethro Tull catalog. The good news is that
the albums THIS WAS, STAND UP and BENEFIT have been (allegedly) cleaned
up and (definitely) reissued. I haven't heard the new ones yet, but
my old CD of BENEFIT was on the hissy side. (My LP -- well er um,
it seemed to have one channel completely worn away by overuse last
time I played it....)
The bad news is that the album LIVING IN THE PAST has been withdrawn;
some of its contents are being dispersed as bonus tracks on those
reissue CDs.

Don't know. Presumably a remastered AQUALUNG, Tull's 4th album,
would be the next reissue to come out; the CDs I described in
resp:44 were Tull's first three albums.
In the past, the story has always been that a good-sounding AQUALUNG
has been impossible to deliver because the master tapes, which were
kept in Ian Anderson's personal custody, had deteriorated badly.
Guess we'll see what comes next...

Haven't seen one, but the US Mint had some groovy pictures. This is the
Tennessee state quarter, correct? Louisiana will also have a minor musical
theme.

Yes, the Tennessee quarter is honoring country music, with a guitar and
a fiddle. I've only seen that first one myself.

I saw one of the Tennessee quarters a week or two ago. I was with some people
who actually cared, so we spent a few minutes with a magnifying glass trying
to figure out if the piece of sheet music on it was actual music, or just
looked like it from a distance. We concluded that it wasn't, since the staves
only had four lines that we could find.

So the fence on the Kentucky quarter is not really a stave (staff)
with the tune "My Old Kentucky Home"??

Maybe the missing 5th line is the result of inbreeding? ;)

Most artistic evocations of printed music are unplayable. I've seen
four-line staves, six-line staves, imaginary or nonexistent clefs,
double-staves in which neither the number of beats in the bar nor even
the bar-lines matched up, impossible key signatures, the lot.

Well poot. I had thought the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame show was going
to be broadcast on VH1 on Thursday night. But it was Wednesday, and
I missed it. I was really looking forward to the Talking Heads set,
too. Did anyone see this?

Mickey's been enthusiastic about Patty Griffin; her new album
"1000 Kisses" has been the subject of a couple of over-the-top raves
by Dave Marsh. Thoughts?

Note for Twila: there is a new Baba Yaga CD! I'd been trying
to figure out how I was going to get a copy of this, and today I
learned that Cliff has it at cdroots.com. There is a bio of the
band at http://www.cdroots.com/fono-baba.html which tells more than
we ever knew about them before; it's been over a decade, I think,
since their previous album. Irish and Hungarian rock instrumentalists
and a small choir of Russian folk singers.

Ken, in re: resp:61 and Patty Griffin ...
You might enjoy reading the (over-the-top?) article in this week's
Austin Chronicle. Patty is the cover girl for this issue.

Random greed whine/not to self: While shopping for Dad's birthday
present at Barnes & Noble, I found the new album from Cape Breton
fiddler Natalie MacMaster. It's a 2-CD live set and from the snippets
one can hear on the "RedDotNet" preview system, it sounds VERY good.

Apparently Peter Gabriel has completed the album UP, just ten years
after his last studio album. (Where I come from, we call that
"retirement." :) ) rollingstone.com has a review of it
(they didn't like it much) and amazon.com is taking orders for
late September shipment.

I seem to have a particular knack for discovering musicians just as they pass
their prime. Still, Peter Gabriel's been in pretty heavy rotation lately,
and I may have to buy this one.

Sorry I haven't been holding up my end of the conference lately.
I haven't been in much of a mood to write, except for Grex's party
chat.
I had an old-fashioned CD pigout at the used CD shop Encore today.
I went to get a few inexpensive opera discs for a friend's child
who is expressing interest, and I found a big pile of stuff
which I might end up keeping instead of giving away.
The chosen opera was AIDA sung by Tebaldi and Bergonzi
with vonKarajan conducting, and we might end up keeping that; also
there was an anthology from a BBC show called "Listen to the Band"
which is all brass music, which Leslie thinks looks interesting.
There's been a series of anthologies from this show, according to
amazon.co.uk, and much of them are out of print. :/
Well, I still have some cheapie opera anthologies I can send along
for the youngster.
Background shopping music was first, an instrumental Sandy Nelson LP.
Kind of kitschy fun; Allmusic.com cites Nelson's drumming
as a significant influence on surf music and Keith Moon.
I don't remember the title, it probably doesn't matter, though
there were some nice 60s covers on that specific album --
"Time Won't Let Me" (originally by The Outsiders) was the one I remember.
Second background album was a Stiff Little Fingers
anthology. I have only the faintest recollection that such a band
ever existed, but sadly I have reached the point where I'm now
nostalgic for the 1980 punk sound. S.L.F. sounds a lot like
second-rate Clash, so I bought the anthology out of the store's player.
