Mara, SEZONI, same album I was playing in resp:1 :: Balkan stuff filtered
through Australia. Mara Kiek is a great singer, and I wish she wasn't
so underplayed on this album.

The Beatles, "With the Beatle".
Yup, I've "discovered" the earlier Beatles albums. Lots of great stuff on
them. I previously just knew the later stuff like Sgt. Peppers and so on.

Brian Peters, THE BEAST IN THE BOX. British traditional accordion
tunes, mostly; best such item I have heard in years.

The Minders, "Cul-De-Sacs & Dead Ends." Pleasant, Beatle-y pop from
Portland, OR, courtesy of the Elephant 6 folks. 3.5 stars.

"Stigmata" soundtrack, specifically "Al the pretty things are going to hell"
by David Bowie. Has an interesting track by Chumbawumba and one by the Afro
Celtic Sound System....

Some band called "Tall Dwarfs" doing a song called "Ride a White Song" by some
guy named Marc Bolan. For no apparent reason, I bought a Marc Bolan tribute
CD blind and I'm loving it. Who is this guy, and why have I never heard of
him?

Uh, you're joking, right? You never heard of T. Rex?
Momus, "Stars Forever." The idea is that 20 people paid Momus $1000
a piece to write a portrait of them in song. The songs are very clever -
I think. They're hard to appreciate when you don't know the people he's
writing about. 3.5 stars, probably.

Bolan has become rather an overlooked figure since his death in 1977,
so I'm not surprised that orinoco hadn't heard of him.
www.allmusic.com is often a good place to look up The Past.
I see they like the "Electric Warrior" album, which I dimly remember
friends owning when it was new.
NP: "Minstrelsy: Sonds and Dances of the Renaissance and Baroque,"
a nice recording on Lyrichord.

Oh, and also to orinoco: I think the Tall Dwarfs were a part of the late 80s
New Zealand scene which also produced The Verlaines and the Able Tasmans...
NP: Davy Graham, "Fire In The Soul," a compilation of 1960s folk/blues guitar
work. I see some other Graham stuff has gotten reissued, including
his album with Shirley Collins which I have been wanting for almost 15 years.

Tom Waits, "Closing Time". I haven't been a huge fan of the
pre-Swordfishtrombones Waits, but thanks to the library I'm checking some
early stuff out.

re. #112 - right, the Tall Dwarfs are legendary purveyors of Kiwi-pop.
Their frontman Chris Knox is still going strong and puts out records
full of scruffy, energetic lo-fi tunes on a regular basis.

No, Natalie, never heard of T.Rex. (Well, the name sounded familiar when Ken
mentioned it to me, but I knew nothing about them, and I'd certainly never
heard of Bolan). So it's been an educational day all around.
Also listening to Tori -- the live version of "Upside Down".

Tom Cleland, "Deadline 2000".
This is my cousin! And this showed up out of the blue just as I was unable
to find his address, which is handy. It's pretty obviously a self done CD,
produced on a PC with mostly sound card instruments. Still, I think it's
really cool that it is possible to do this sort of thing.

Poignant Plecostomus, "Empoisson" I still prefer "touche la vache" btu it's
still a good album. Both CDs will probably be out of ciurculation soon, since
the band just had their farewell concert last night. If you want either of
them, you should buy them quickly.

preview CD of "Pick UP" by Solex. Very interesting titles. It
doesn't sound like a keeper to me.
