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 :-(.

currently listening to KKCR (Kauai Community Radio) on the 'Net, the
locally-flavoured "Kani ka Pila" programme (loosely translated as
"Jamming," I'm told).
http://www.kkcr.org (they use the Live365 business for their stream, and
it's a pain, but worth it for some of the shows.)

Ann Arbor Board of Education President Karen Cross, on the proposal for a new
high school and remodeling of several others. Not that this is really music,
but some will call it "music to [their] ears." :)

April Verch, maybe? Saw her at the Philadelphia Folk Festival
last summer on a fiddlers' workshop; I think she's coming up at the
Ark too.

April March is French Pop sorta stuff. Hard to explain, but you either
really like her, or really don't.

Ah, not the same person at all then. April Verch is an Ontario fiddler
who started out fairly traditional folk and is now moving towards
that "new acoustic music" category.

Marc Antoine, I think, but I didn't realize there were two of them.

Shinwa - "Twinkling of Paradise" This is a Korean pop CD that mixes rap and
a boy band sound. In the title track, it even mixes in classical music. It's
odd to hear this kind of music in Korean, although all the rapping is in
English. Odd enough to keep my interest though.

(The Charpentier featured on the BBC is the one with the opera "Medee'",
does that help?)

Marc-Antoine. I thought so. Mid-Baroque.
Gustave was a turn-of-the-20th-century composer of schmaltz operas,
best known for "Louise". Before the Baroque boom of the last couple
decades he was much better-known.

Yeah, a number of random BBC baroque and early music things have been
pushing my buttons lately.

Talking Heads "The Name of the Band is Talking Heads" A really cool live album
from their early days. Some if not all of it was recorded before their studio
releases.

Re #152: Unfortunately, I don't think it's been available for years. A friend
of mine burned me a copy from his cassette tape.

Yep. I'd buy it if it were re-released but there haven't been
any signs that that's likely to happen..

I don't understand the reluctance to put out THE NAME OF THIS BAND...
I was never in love with that album -- I was a huge Talking Heads fan
back then -- but it's not embarrassing. At the time it was just a
placemarker to fill in the 3-year gap between REMAIN IN LIGHT and
SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
The live Talking Heads album which they should put out is a 1979?
show which was officially recorded, produced by Ed Stasium, and
promotionally released to radio; it's a killer show, and since the
recording was made by Warner, there shouldn't be any problem in
clearing the rights.
NP: N.E.R.D., "She Wants to Move," via a replayed Tom Robinson show
on BBC Radio 6.
