Emmylou Harris - "Wrecking Ball"
checked this out from the public library, as I'd been curious about it
for a while. I wasn't expecting it to sound quite so, ummm, Daniel Lanois,
but I like it anyway.. I guess this is what Malcolm Burn is up to after
Crash Vegas.

(Eminem [f. Elton John], "Stan." this is the third time I've watched
the clip, and I'm still not sure of how I feel about the performance.)

I'm sure that the vocal quality Elton John brings to the work does not
match that of Dido in offering a tonal counterpoint to the foreground
narrative offered by Eminem.

(that's part of my sentiment, in more words than I would have used to
express that particular fraction.) ;)
(Monica, some tripe off of her new album, cuz it's on MTV and I'm not
sufficiently compelled to turn on the CD player and listen to one of my
new Christine Lavin albums.)

I was in Border's the other day, looking to kill a few minutes. I ended up
spending about half an hour listening to a CD called "Distillation" by Erin
McKeown at one of the listening stations. I bought it, but I'm still baffled
that I like it so much. It's alternately girly folk-pop (a la Lisa Loeb or
Paula Cole) and old-style jazz (there's a Rodgers and Hart tune), and for some
reason I haven't been able to stop playing it. So that's on right now.

Charlie Gillet's show "World Music Charts Europe," October 2000;

taking some time away from them.

I'm listening to "Wrecking Ball" again.. It didn't take long for it
to move into heavy rotation.. How's "Red Dirt Girl"?

The living room ate my copy of "Red Dirt Girl" before I ever had a
chance to play it.

(speaking of Dido, completely off-topic... I keep having the random thought
that Dido's the sort of singer that people who are Eminem fans normally
wouldn't like, and vice versa, and yet somehow Eminem's sampling of her has
propelled her to stardom. Weird world sometimes)

Wasn't she in the video too, as Stan's girlfriend?

(she's in the video, sometimes shows up at his concerts, [finally] shot a
video for her original version ["Thank You", which was featured a year
earlier in "Sliding Doors", offering ammunition to any theory that Eminem
might be more influential than Gwyneth Paltrow] and speaks favorably of
Eminem in interviews. remember, it wasn't her experience in Faithless
that put her over [she's the brother of Rollo and appeared on a couple of
songs on their most recent album]. it wasn't her being on Arista that put
her over [the same company responsible for Santana being all over the
place last year]. it wasn't even having a song featured on "Dawson's
Creek" that put her over ["Here With Me", a song for which I remember
seeing the video late night on VH1 and thinking, "gee, she finally gets a
video a year later."] no, it wasn't any of them; it was... the 45 King,
whose previously best-known work was "The 900 Number", used as Ed Lover's
theme music on early episodes of "Yo! MTV Raps" and sampled in DJ Kool's
"Let Me Clear My Throat.")
(Backstreet Boys, "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely", because it's on
the radio.)

The Gourds, "Bolsa de Agua." Got this last fall sometime and it sat
around unplayed until Mickey mentioned it in party this afternoon.
Sigh. Lots of yummy electric guitar and mandolins.

ishtar - "the voice of Alabina". I found this in a listening station at
Borders. ishtar is from Israel, her parents are Egyptian and Moroccan. On this
CD she sing mostly in French with a few songs in Egyptian and one with some
English... a mix of dance, ballads and traditional styles.. very nice.. next
time I'm CD shopping I'll pick up some Alabina, which is ishtar backed by a
spanish gypsy band from what I understand..

Todays selection is Rush - Test for Echo. Their newest cd, and deffinately
a keeper. It never ceases to amaze me how they manage to stay on top of what
is going on in the world today. They have a song about the internet. :)

Ekova, "Heaven's Dust." Fake world music, but it sounds rather nice.

Runrig, "Live At Celtic Connections 2000." Runrig were always big
crowd pleasers so this is pretty enthusiastic rousing stuff.

Martyn Bennett & Martin Low, "Hardland."
Celtic folk techno, or something like that. Bagpipes, fiddles, and
funny scratching noises.

Where did you find a copy? Did you have to 'import' it?
Right now: Some slow bluesy guitar on WDET's night show.
