Thanks to Ann Arbor CTN Channel 16, plenty of really old oldies.
I'm using the extra audio output of the VCR to tape monitor in, and getting
good sound without the Channel 16 video being on the TV screen. On usual
days (non-holidays) there is programming on at 10am). Currently "Rock
around The Clock" by Bill Haley and Comets is on.

Melanie's latest, "Ring the Living Bell: A Collection."
*13* new Melanie tunes, 10 old ones, 7 covers, and a bonus cut by Safka,
her kids' group. It's tremendous.
I'm going to find out what it will take to bring her to Ann Arbor. Green
Wood Coffee House could maybe rent the Michigan Theatre...

I got the Revenant release of his 1920s-1930s-ish stuff; I probably should
have gotten the Smithsonian Folkways release, just because it was recorded
to tape.
Mickey Hart, MYSTERY BOX. I thought my recent pickup of interest
in the Grateful Dead would make this Dead spinoff project
sound better. Um, nope. Good candidate for the resale pile.

The Unicorn by the Irish Rovers. "The best of the Irish Rovers"
This is stuff I listened to as a kid. I never lost my love for the Rovers
and folk music.

Pet Shop Boys -- "Very"
(the album whose title answers the unasked question: Are these guys gay? ;)
an excellent album from the "fanatically over-produced" end of the musical
spectrum..

Talking Heads -- "Stop Making Sense"
in honor of the 15th anniversary of the film, Sire has re-issued the
soundtrack with all of the tracks they deleted for the original issue,
which include many of the best tracks.
"Stop Making Sense" is one of my few completely positive memories from
my early college days in Ann Arbor. I saw it many times at the Michigan
Theater. It was a popular midnight movie in the mid-to-late eighties and
everybody in the crowd would get up and dance in the aisles. I still
consider it the finest concert film I've ever seen (not that it has a
great deal of serious competition..)
You really should see the film in a huge theater full of enthusiastic
fans, but if you can't you can at least listen to the restored versions
of "Heaven" and "Genius of Love"..

The film STOP MAKING SENSE is getting a theatrical reissue;
I can't imagine that it won't appear in Ann Arbor.

resp:137 The Pet Shop Boys released a version of that album that
combined that material with (I think it was an EP or something) an album
called _Relentless_, hence, it was titled _Very Relentless_.

Robyn Hitchcock, "You and Oblivion." Odds and sods. I can't resist
a song that begins, "The frogs are mating on the table, but you just
pick your nose and squint."

Pulp Fiction soundtrack. I like this one, esp the Royale with Cheese thing.
Jackson and Travolta were great in that flick. However, I did think it was
a little cheesy for Tarentino to appear in his own movie.

He's no Hitchcock, that's for sure..
(What was cheesy wasn't necessarily the fact that he appeared, but the
fact that he gave himself a medium-length speaking role for which he wasn't
qualified. Apparently a cameo wasn't enough to satisfy his raging
egomania..)

Acoustic Cafe on The River, produced in Ann Arbor.
Eclectica is a series of mix tapes (now CDs) started by a freind,
Paul Estin. They feature the weird and the wonderfull, the fun and the
funny. An interesting way to gather those single tracks you want to
listen to, but want something else to come afterwards.
