(on the other hand they seem to taken my order without having the
set in stock and without telling me I'd have to wait for a backorder.
my guess is I'm not going to wind up getting one of the boxes, but
you never know..)
now playing: Cibo Matto -- "Viva La Woman"
fairly strange Japanese pop..

Crash Vegas -- "Red Earth"
out of print (afaik) Canadian female-vocal folk/country-tinged rock.
pretty good, substantially better than the disappointing follow-up ("Stone")
anyone know if Jocelyn Lanois is any relation to Daniel?

To the best of my knowledge, Jocelyn is the sister of Daniel.
I think Jocelyn was also in one of the incarnations of Martha and the
Muffins, but I'm too lazy to go look it up.
"Red Earth" is a big favorite of mine; I discovered them through a
profile on CBC's old Brave New Waves show, and I sat in a parking lot
listening to the car radio for about 20 minutes to learn the band's
name.
Crash Vegas was one of a number of bands which seem to have been
destroyed in the early 1990s by the record companies' insistence
that they sound more like Nirvana. There was a final third album,
"Aurora," released only in Canada in 1996 and unmemorable.
A while back I did some web searching to see if Michelle McAdorey,
their lead singer, had done anything, and I didn't find any further
recordings.

Tori Amos, "Jackie's Strength" CD single. After seeing her live last weekend,
I've been listening to a lot of her music.

Quasi, "Field Studies." Good solid indie pop, with a bit of weird
synth noise, boy-girl harmonies, and cynical lyrics. 3.5 stars,
maybe 4 if it grows on me.

Definitely the kings of the "creepy cover version" genre..
Now playing: the Magnetic Fields - "Holiday"
I've been frustrated about not being able to get the new box set --
it sold out *far* faster than anyone anticipated. Now I can't even
find the seperate releases that accompanied the box. I'm told there'll
be a second printing soon, but am getting tired of waiting..

WDET-FM: a set of tunes by jazz bagpiper Rufus Harley.
Hey, I just checked Amazon.com and there is an import release of his
old album BAGPIPE BLUES out this summer... I need to look into that.

Babylon 5 "War Without End Part 1" soundtrack - Good instrumental music
including the entire Season 3 opening theme with the dialogue. The only
drawback is that 3 to 5 tracks under a single number (as in 1A, 1B, 1C, etc.)
instead of giving each track its own number. I don't know why they chose to
do that.

ritsu - voodoo
She plays electric violin with a band. I really like it.. kinda sounds
like basic blues, and at times it's hard to tell that she's playing the
violin and not guitar...

re #182: Anyone remember *index* markers in CD tracks?
The better models from among the early generations of CD players had
both "track" and "index" forward and reverse features (in addition to
the within-track seek functions..) "Indexes" were points within a track
that you might want to skip to -- I think they were originally envisioned
for classical music where you might have a long work be a single track
but where listeners might want to start with, say, the second movement..
Anyway, indexed tracks never caught on (I think that out of around 1200
CDs in my collection I only know of about three CDs that have indexes)
and the feature died out on nearly all CD players -- I'd be surprised if
you could still find a consumer- grade player with buttons on the front
for the index features, though with some brands (like my old Magnavox)
you could use older remotes to access the feature on the newer units
(even though there wasn't a button for it on the new one's front panel
*or* remote..) Must've used the same control circuitry..

My family's CD player will tell you what index number you're on, but has no
index skip buttons. None of our CDs have index numbers. Pity -- it sounds
like it would've been a useful feature.
