I understand the open mic from the Ark also was broadcast live, although
our local Public Radio International affiliate did not carry it, due to
the late hour of beginning.

I wonder how many stations beyond WUOM carried it? I heard some of it;
I'm not much into poetry so most of it just washed over me, though
it was nice to hear Keillor talking with the participants.

Monsoon, the CD reissue of "Third Eye" plus all(?) of the singles.
This was the start of Sheila Chandra's career, and it's her poppiest
album, and one of my favorites. Eeek, another favorite album which
turns 20 years old in a few weeks!

Yes, that's a long and scary list.. I'm disturbed by the thought that
"London Calling" and "Remain in Light" are more than twenty years old.
Where did the time go?

Hell, I'm disturbed by the fact that Remain in Light is that old, and I wasn't
even born yet.

Rag Foundation, MINKA. Interesting, loose take on trad folk from
Wales, with simple guitar and fiddle accompaniment.

R.L. Burnside, "Burnside on Burnside." Live electric blues album I picked
up last fall when it was being played in store at Elderly Instruments;
I thought of it again when it landed on a year's-best list by one of the
Washington Post critics. I should listen to more electric blues.

Gene Clark -- "Roadmaster", a post-Byrds solo album I bought years ago
from an Art Fair cutout bin and never listened to. Several references
to it in the All Music Guide entries for other albums I've been listening
to lately moved me to go looking for my copy, which I found unopened..
I begin to understand how krj can wind up with piles of unlistened-to
albums.. I should've listened to this one earlier -- it's pretty good
if you like the Byrds (and I *love* the Byrds..)

Anubia, "Cantarea" from last year's release SEGREDO A VOCES. This is a
Galician group composed of no less than 6 women, who sing in incredible
harmony over modern arrangements. This might be interesting to those who enjoy
groups like Varttina or Lais.

Brenga Astur, "Cancios de Gochu Xabaz." From Spain. The instrumental
tune sets are pretty nice, not sure how much I like the slower vocal
tracks yet.

Gillian Welch -- "Time: the Revelator"
I think I'll move back down to Memphis
And thank the hatchet man who forked my tongue.
(from the absolutely dreamy reference-heavy 14-minute
album-closing track "I Dream a Highway"..)

Tony Perez, FULL FORCE JAZZ. Cuban pianist alternating between small
group tracks and big band tracks. I bought this out of the player at
Schoolkids-in-the-Basement last weekend.

Malicorne, CATHEDRALS OF INDUSTRY. After the Yacoub concert this week
there is some interest in seeing how many of the Yacoub or Malicorne
CDs we can dig out. CATHEDRALS OF INDUSTRY was the final Malicorne
album, after a six-year layoff; Yacoub once told us that he had planned
that to be a solo album, but the record label (Celluloid) wanted
a Malicorne album so they could better sell the band name.
It's also one of the glories of mid-1980s electric folk, a number
of which were current and popular when Leslie & I started dating,
so they are personally very romantically nostalgic for us.
I was surprised to hear Leslie singing along with it, even though
she hasn't heard the CD in years, so I guess she's got it memorized.

Crossroads, "De Partir, C'est Mon Plaisir". Just arrived in a box
from France today. Mara and Llew Kiek, of the Australian/East European
band Mara, pair up with some Breton musicians and Scottish bagpipes.
It's been a while since a new album has lived up to high expectations,
but this album has just about everything I ever loved about Mara.
More details later.

Joe Henry, "Scar". A CD a friend gave me recently, came out in 2001.
An interesting mix of jazz, pop, and funk with sort of a Tom Waits delivery.
Pretty good on first listening; the chord changes are pretty cool (especially
since my guitar playing is getting me interested in figuring out how these
sorts of chords fit togther). Closest comparison would be that Cassandra
Wilson "New Moon Daughter" CD, in that it has a rather quiet-sounding
production with a lot of acoustic instruments but definitely not a folk sound.
