Charlie Gillet's show "World Music Charts Europe," October 2000;
NP is Ruben Gonzalez. I'm getting back into the www.wen.com shows after
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.

Bop (harvey), "Nation From Nation". This is an old local vinyl LP I finally
got around to putting onto a more modern medium (using Linux to record to CD!
I finally spent the time on figuring it out).

Donald Fagen, "Kamakiriad".
Ya know, McNally was right. This *is* better than "Two Against Nature".
I need to get a copy of "The Nightfly".

Paul Simon, _Hearts and Bones._ Caitlin claims this sounds like kids' music,
and she's sort of got a point. It's mostly cheerful, benignly synthy, and
it's got songs about numbers and allergies and the moon. She partway
retracted her opinion when she heard the end of the album, which is a song
about John Lennon's death. Whatever. It's a great album.
