I'm listening to nothing but the hum of this computer's fan, curse it!
Forgot to bring CDs with me to work today after clearing the last batch
out of my office. I've got King Tubby's "Zion Gates Dub" going through
my head, though, if that counts..

scott--where'd you get that book/CD? I haven't been able to find it, but I
must admit I haven't been looking all that hard...

Ditto, but not Donovan -- an Irish dance number by a Canadian family
whose name I did not catch. Rather good, though.

1812 overture, conducted by Neeme Jarvi. Not sure why I've been
obsessing over this old warhorse this week.

Album: Dub Chill Out / Various Artists
Track: King Tubby's Borderline Dub / King Tubby & Augustus Pablo.
King Tubby really does an awesome dub.. Gotta get some more of his
stuff, the few tracks I've got on various collections are solid..

RE #184 Who is this group called "Various Artists?" They sure do have an
unusually larger than average amount of releases out.
April Fool (albeit a day early).

I've always wanted to release an album entitled "Various Artists"
just to see how many record-store clerks' heads exploded when trying
to file it..

Didn't know you were interested in Spirit of the West, Mike...
I liked some of their earlier, more folk-rock work, but I think
the album before FAITHLIFT is when I gave up on them.

Waht is Faithlift like? I too like their earlier stuff (I think Dougie
MacLean actually plays fiddle on one track on either their first or
second albums -- and of course that made me track them down...)

Hmmm.. I'm not sure I'd say I'm "into" Spirit of the West but I
thin "Faithlift" is a decent album. I'd be hard pressed to describe
it, though, in any way that would give a decent impression of the
album. I bought it on the strength of the two singles I'd heard
on 89X (gotta love those CanCon laws..) and found the album to be
pretty consistently OK to good but not outstanding..

Well, is Faithlift more like folk music or rock? They started out a lot
more folky, wiht some GRAEAT traditional songs, and some not-bad
originals, but then they seemed to slide into uninspired rock -- which
always seems a tragedy.
Erm, tv is on now, but earlier was listening to oldies on the radio.
Is _Riders on the STrorm_ really such a classic? I mentioned
that I hated it, and Bruce acted like it was sacrelige.

Fripp/Eno "Evening Star." It sounds sort like the what I imagine the inside of
a CPU would sound like highly amplified.

re #197: I'd say probably more like rock, though better than average.
also re #197: I guess I've moved out of the stage of my life in which
I could stand to listen to Jim Morrison and the Doors but I agree with
you about "Riders on the Storm." On the other hand my opinions about
music don't coincide very well with those of the general populace so
perhaps we *are* the ones whose opinions are heretical.
