re. #136, I never figured out what the fuss over Yo La Tengo was about,
so we're even.

Fairport Convention, "The Wood and the Wire." Latest album from a once
great band. I'd stopped buying their stuff, but the reviews suggested
I ought to listen to this one. So far it's OK, which is an improvement.

The Original Brothers and Sisters of Love, "The Legende of Jeb Minor."
Local band which got a very positive review in the Ann Arbor News
a week ago. Very old-fashioned folk-rock settings of original songs.
So far I rather like it. Anybody ever heard of these folks playing
locally?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they played recently... I can't remember where.
They've got a misleading name - I always thought they were a soul/funk
band, before I heard them.

The Original Brothers and Sisters of Love will open for Brian Lillie and
The Squirrel Mountain Orchestra at Green Wood Coffee House on Fri, Mar 24.
I'm listening to Sierra Hart. I don't care for her CD.

Einstein's Secret Orchestra's self-titled album. It has a cool spacy sound.
I listened to Dido "no angel" earlier. Outside of the first track, I don't
really care for the album.

Enon, "Believo!" I'm reviewing this for WCBN. Big beats combined with
found sound and weird samples... shades of Soul Coughing and Beck.

I'm listening to Santana's "Supernatural" and I am glad I have the
CD remote right next to me. Two song are 'gonged' while "Smooth" is
bypassed becasue I just heard it too much.

"THe Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." The non-single tracks are mostly pretty
weak, but some of them are growing on me. Ask me again in a week or two.

LZ, but those two records, WOW

"Time between the wars" by Al Stewart. Now this is an album that
goes by like a breath of air....it starts, it flows, it concludes.

I like nearly all of the Led Zeppelin albums (except "Coda", and possibly
"Presence" when I'm in an uncharitable mood) but I wouldn't agree with
Chris that I and II are "the apex of LZ." For me those two albums suffer
a bit, in this day and age, from the 60s-English-guys-who-wanted-to-be-
20s-delta-bluesmen syndrome. Although their blues homages are certainly
not bad, I enjoyed the band's work more once they developed their own
style. I'd say that III and Physical Graffiti are my favorites.

Curiously, I have never heard "III;" that's the next one on my shopping
list.

I'm not a fan of III, however IV I can listen to, if I skip over Stairway.
I think part of the reason I dislike III is that it's recorded so poorly,
but that's just me ;-)

Talking Heads, "Speaking In Tongues." I think this answers the question of
whether it was the Talking Heads or Eno that made me like "Remain In Light."
This one doesn't appeal to me nearly as much as "Remain In Light" did.

Dead Can Dance - "Saltarello". It's a great, old Italian dance
number. I dig it. =)

re #161: If you like heavily Eno-fied Talking Heads then I'd urge you
to try any of the following that you haven't already got:
David Byrne -- score to "The Catherine Wheel"
Eno -- "Here Come the Warm Jets"
"Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)"
"Another Green World"
"Before and After Science"
Byrne & Eno -- "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts"
Talking Heads -- "Fear of Music"
"More Songs About Buildings and Food"
