Morcheeba -- "Big Calm"
I find myself listening to a lot of so-called "Trip-Hop" bands lately.
There aren't that many good examples of the genre but I really like
the ones I've found.. Massive Attack is the cream of the crop but this
Morcheeba album is nice and listenable and very mellow..

the Mekons -- "Me"
eventually there has to come a time when you admit to yourself that
that band you like just isn't going to produce another classic album.
ah well, I'll always have "the Curse of the Mekons" and "Rock 'n' Roll"

resp:181 : Mmm, interesting... I heard the first Morcheeba album in a
record store some time back, and I have flirted with buying it a couple
of times but I always put the disc back.

The new Bruce Springsteen box set, "Tracks". This is 4 CDs of mostly
previously unreleased songs, going back to his early days. I'm on the first
CD right now.

Listening to a box set myself -- in my case the "Citizen Steely Dan"
box set, which the BMG music club is currently selling for $12. Had
my brother order one for me, as he's a member of the club. At that
price it's a steal (even with shipping/handling, which brings it to
about $20) since it includes all of their studio albums ("Can't Buy a
Thrill", "Countdown to Ecstasy", "Katy Lied", "Pretzel Logic", "The
Royal Scam", "Aja", and "Gaucho" as well as several bonus tracks from
soundtracks, etc ("Here at the Western World", "FM") )
For those who've heard "Do It Again" and "Rikki Don't Lose that Number"
a few too many times and dismissed Steely Dan as just a polished and
pleasant 70s AOR act with a few big radio hits, take a closer listen.
Behind the shiny facade built up by the skilled session musicians and
the fanatic studio production the music is complicated and intelligent.
Every song is a three minute story about a fascinating and usually
unglamorous underworld peopled by liars, junkies, dealers, cheats,
and losers. There's an amazing amount of great music on these seven
albums, at $20 for the bunch I can't recommend them highly enough.

Life, in a Nutshell, Barenaked Ladies
it's a live version, from where, I can't remember...
I got it from http://bnl.kosmic.org
it's a HUGE archive of live and rare BNL mp3's anyone remotely
interested in them *must* check it out.

The House of Love - "The House of Love" (not to be confused with their
other albums, "The House of Love" and "The House of Love".. decent music
but they need to work on their album titles..)

Massive Attack -- "Blue Lines"
the proto trip-hop album, it's much easier to see the relationship
between "hip-hop" and "trip-hop" on this album than it is on later
releases.. an interesting mix of hip-hop, dub, and a lot of other
stuff. I prefer the later stuff but this one's got some interesting
things on it.. "Safe From Harm" and "Unfinished Sympathy" foreshadow
their later sound and "Five Man Army" develops in an interesting way
from fairly straightforward toasting/rapping into an echo of Lee Perry's
classic dub track "Satan Dub"

re:163 (sorry, old stuff, but I haven't been around in a while) No, "Battle
of Epping Forest," which describes a territory battle between a couple of
street gangs, was on Genesis's album "Selling England by the Pound," published
(I think) in 1974, at the height of Peter Gabrial's era of band leadership,
back when Phil Collin's just did drums and back-up vocals. Of course, Phil
has split from Genesis too, and they have since found a new vocalist, but I
doubt their ability to regain the popularity they used to have.

That's interesting, carson, considering that I just popped my copy of
"Billboard Top Hits 1984," and I'm now listening to (you guessed it!)
Yes doing "Owner Of A Lonely Heart," too.

"A Folksinger's Christmas." Wonderful CD with 14 selections from Joan Baez,
Odetta, the Weavers, Erik Darling, and Jackie Washington. All cuts were
recorded between 1959 and 1970.

re #201: That's interesting-- I hadn't heard Phil finally left Genesis. I
thought that he was balancing the band and his solo work together-- he's done
that for quite a number of years, but, well..
any press release as to why he left now and not earlier?
