Type O Negative, "Bloody Kisses" The cover of Seals & Crofts' "Summer Breeze"
was weird and creepy.

resp:175  that does sound creepy.. I grew up listening to a bit of 
Seals & Crofts, and wound up buying the greatest hits album..

  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..

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..

np: John Kirkpatrick Band, WELCOME TO HELL.   (As in "Welcome to Hell, 
here's your accordion.")    A great revival of the classic 
English electric folk sound of the 1970s Albion Band -- no surprise, 
since the band includes the Albions' old guitarist and drummer.
Kirkpatrick will be best known to readers here as an associate 
of Richard Thompson.

  Traffic -- "John Barleycorn Must Die"

  one of my favorite lesser-known 60's albums by one of my favorite
  second- (or third-) tier 60's bands..  more consistent than much of
  the rest of their output; doesn't have their very best stuff but
  each of the tracks on the album is solid and fits well..  I wonder
  if the "rock band with flute" thing will ever make a comeback?

  There is that, I guess..  I was thinking more about the mainstream.. 

  Groups like Traffic and Jethro Tull were pretty mainstream once, moreso
  than the Celtic folk-rock stuff today, which is at best a substantial
  niche market.
