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.

Tom Waits, "Mule Variations". Ahhh, I've gotten past the learning curve on
this one. Tom Waits albums seem to be an acquired taste, and each one is an
acquired taste.

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?

You haven't the Celtic band with a flute goes rock?

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.

"Beneath the Icy Floe: a project sampler v.5" It's a wonderful compilation
featuring a lot of goth and dark ambient groups under the Projekt label. Since
buying this, I've picked up several CDs from different bands on this label.
I haven't been disappointed yet.

Well, Morsel has (had?) a flute, but that hardly counts as mainstream...

As much as I find Thayrone (the host) annoying I do have to give him credit
for playing good music on his show..
My favorite local music program, though, is Friday night's "All Star
Rhythm Revue", also on WEMU. They manage to produce some fine programming,
don't they?

(Really? My dad and I both find a good portion of Thayrone's music annoying,
but we listen to the show to hear him blither.)

RE #200 WEMU cancelled the "All Star Rhythm Revue" about a year and a half
ago.

re #201: heh.. some of his music is beyond annoying, but some of what
he plays is excellent stuff that you're never gonna hear on
commercial radio..
re #202: did they really? shoot! i hadn't tuned in in a while because
I haven't been driving to the west side of the state on Friday
nights much lately, which is when I used to listen to it.
what a bummer -- I was looking forward to their annual Halloween
show and planned to tape the excellently cheesey "the Mummy",
a theoretically comic number they played most years..

(it can't have been as long as a year and a half ago, could it?
I could've sworn I'd heard the "All-Star Rhythm Revue" more recently
than that..)

Oh, every time I listen to Thayrone I hear one or two good songs (especially
if you consider "Johnny, are you queer?" and "Sell the Bitch's Car" to be good
songs). It's just that that's not why I listen.

I miss the "All Star Rhythm Revue" as well, and much like Mike I find
Thayrone's schtick to wear thin but the music is usually excellent, and he
really knows a lot about what he's playing.
OAURN: My wife used to work with "Thayrone", he's thankfully nothing like
his radio persona in person.

"Quartet Romantic" by Henry Cowell, borrowed from the library. Yeegs,
this is the most painful listening experience I've ever had. It's not
that the music is so dissonant, it's that all four musicians are playing
in complete rhythmic independence of one another. (They had to record
it with headphones and click tracks.) There's no way to describe how
disconcerting this is.
Followed by "The Abongo" by John J. Becker, on the same CD. Percussion
music. All rhythm, nothing else. Neat. (But the masterpiece of the
genre remains Varese's "Ionisation".)

Right now I'm listening to Les Miz....It started to run through my head last
night...from "Red & Black" to the bitter end. I sang *ALL* of it. From
Memory. I decided that it was probably time to listen to the cd again. So
I am. :)

(katie back in resp:191 :: I don't know the name of the WDET evening
jazz DJ.)
np: Fernhill, LLANTAI. Welsh acoustic folk band, so far I like this
second album better than their debut.
Twila will like it, most likely, and David Bratman might be interested.
Julie Matthews, who has done some stuff with hurdy-gurdy player
Nigel Eaton, is the singer.
