Rodoin Shchedrin's "Carmen Ballet", an imaginative re-orchestration of
selections from the opera. ("Les Toreadors" on the xylophone, etc.) I
pulled this out after hearing a piece on the radio which was announced
as from Shchedrin's Carmen, but which was actually from the orchestral
suite of the original Bizet.

re #108: If you like fado you'd probably also like the related
Cabo Verdean form known as morna. The Ann Arbor library has
(or had) an excellent collection of Cabo Verdean music called
"The Soul of Cape Verde", which I highly recommend.
Meanwhile I'd be interested in any fado recommendations you might
have..

I should look for that Cape Verde disc, Mike. I've gotten into
checking things out from the library recently as I try to throttle
back CD spending.

Been listening to a lot lately, probably due to trying to sort out my CD
collection from the boxes it was packed in. Right now is Miles Davis's "Kind
of Blue", earlier was The Police with "Regatta de Blanc" (mastered way too
bright) and the Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed" from the library.

The RFD Boys, on a Minidisc I made last night when I did sound. Sounds better
than I expected. My ears were sort of plugged up with a cold last night.

Dikanda, "Jakhana Jakhana." Fresh out of the package from Poland,
which is covered in pretty postage stamps I should pass along to
Twila. On first play, Leslie and I are quite happy with this,
Dikanda's second album.

Richard Thompson, "1000 Years of Popular Music." Our hosts are
impressed, we'll have to get a copy to send them as a thank-you gift.

Steely Dan, "Aja". I wish they didn't pan the drums randomly; it would be
a lot cooler to hear Steve Gadd's stuff with a normal drumkit spread.

The blues show on american public radio. Son House was just playing at the
1965 Newport festival. Bob went electric that year, too.

The Commie with a Cold.
Cheating a bit here. Ken Livingstone was just on the radio. For those who
don;t know, KL is currently Mayor of London, and in the 1980s he gained a
reputation for being on the "hard left" of the Labour Party, and the nickname
"Red Ken". On the negative side, he has a rather awful nasal twang,
which, combined with his Cockney accent, makes him, to the Northern English,
sound quite frightful.

I got the Revenant label reissue of the 1930s Dock Boggs stuff, but
I wonder if I wouldn't have been happier with the Smithsonian
Folkways package of his 1950s-1960s? recordings, just for the
better sound quality.

i have both, the later stuff is better sound quality but he was
a different singer all those years later, plus there are a few
songs not included on the smithsonian discs.

I've been listening to The Chieftains, "The Celtic Harp" in the car. Just
heared on WDIV that the Boston Pops' concert in Ann Arbor was this evening.

I think so... it's pretty good, at least so far. Needs a few listens to be
sure.

He's back working with Tony Visconti again, the guy who produced some of
his classic 70s albums, but although his last few releases have been
fairly good they're not in the same class as his best stuff.

The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl, "Fairytale of New York".
Constantly voted one of the best (aqnd often THE best) Xmas anthem
ever in Britain.
Tragically, Kirsty MacColl died when she was swimming on holiday
somewhere, a few months back. Seems she had a hitherto undetected
heart problem. What a waste :-(.
