NP #1: Music to Conference By
| 
Aug 10 19:37 UTC 2001 |
This is the tedious, yet popular, item for listing what music you
are listening to as you cruise through this conference.
No cheating, now!
To keep things interesting, try to write a line or two about the
album or song you are naming, especially if it's at all obscure.

Tri Yann, "Dix Ans Dix Filles." Sort of a Breton version of the Kingston
Trio, though at some point they turned into a folk-rock band. This is
their second album, from a boxed set I got recently of their first
three releases, from 1972-1974.

Well, Duncan Millar, "Good to Go" CD is queued up in the player,
ready to be listened to for the first time. Looks like it might be
piano Jazz of some sort. Since it's Sunday morning, I'm listening
to the "Over Easy" show on WCSX.

Niss Kirsten, TRAD. Unfortunately there's not much too traditional
about it. Swedish singer performs very contemporary settings of
poems by Harry Martinson; some of the settings use folk instrumentation
and one or two are reminiscent of Hedningarna, but many more draw
on jazz forms which are far too modern for my tastes. Maybe it'll
grow on me.

Sister Soleil, Soularium. I picked this album up from the $1 section of Record
Exchange. I had been wanting to listen to an album of this group since I heard
some tracks played on WDET. I'm not sure what to say yet.I like some of the
songs, but others just don't grab me.

Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road", checked out from the
King County Library..
I'd been meaning to give this one a serious listen since shortly after
its release and subsequent critical acclaim a couple of years ago.
However, I'd tried liking Lucinda Williams ten years ago and never
really managed -- I think I wound up selling her original album (or
was it an EP?) to KRJ long ago so he could pass it along to a friend
after it went out of print. So for several years since its release,
the album's been languishing in my "gee I'm kind of curious how that
sounds but Not Curious Enough to Pay Twenty Dollars to Find Out"
category, which is a shame, as it's growing on me rapidly.
It really makes me wonder how many other albums I've passed up because
records today are too expensive for me to want to experiment as much as
I used to..

Holly Cole - Dark Dear Heart. This is another one of those $1 CDs that I've
really enjoyed. I was introduced to her years ago from her cover album of Tom
Waits songs. Although it wasn't enough to make me rush out and buy her other
albums, it was enough for me to grab it for a buck.

I have been meaning to pick that album up again after my tape of it died,
thanks to a soda spill. I kinda liked it.

I listened to the entire album (Re #13) last night. It was really good. I'm
glad I picked it up.
Right now, I'm listening to a Neon Genesis Evangelion soundtrack.

Neil Finn : One Nil.
This came out in Australia in March, and I picked it up from Best Buy this
evening, as in import. I like the first solo album better, but I'm willing
to listen some more.

I'm listening to a mildly appalling Travis cover of "Baby, hit me One More
Time" that my roomate put in :(
Oh well... we can't all have good taste all the time!
