Well I frequently find that when I like an album by a mega-popular band
the tracks selected for radio play are the ones I least enjoy..
I'm willing to admit that "Pop" might be a good album -- I was very
pleasantly surprised by "Achtung Baby" and especially "Zooropa" --
after the insane overplaying of "Unforgettable Fire" and "Joshua Tree"
during the time I lived in the dorms I thought I'd never be able to
bear to listen to a U2 song again, let alone enjoy two successive albums.
Nevertheless, if I ever buy "Pop" I'm going to be glad that I've got a
CD changer that can be programmed to never, ever, ever play "Staring at
the Sun."
Anyway, I suppose this is all fodder for a different item. What am I
listening to now? "Dub Gone Crazy" by King Tubby & friends..

Actually, 'Joshua Tree' is one of my favorites, if only because I never heard
it when it was overplayed on the radio and hence don't have that bias against
it. 'Unforgettable Fire' I've never heard, but I've also never heard anyone
say anything nice about it, so...
Oh, and "On" by Adrian Belew.

it's interesting how radio ariplay can so completely turn me against some
songs... I liked zero by the smashing pumpkins until it came out on the
radio.. then voila, I hate it. Smae thing goes for New Pollution by beck,
Excuse Me Mr. by No Doubt, greedy Fly by Bush. the List goes on.

yeah, once radio grabs ahold of something, they play it to death and back.
most anything that gets played and played, i get reallly sick of.. so if i
like a song and don't want to get sick of it.. i make a point of either not
listening to radio, or not listening to the song when it comes on..

We *do* have a radio item which could use some entries. Whatever.
NP: 4th CD of the Motown Boxed Set. Our new cat peed all over the box
last week, and today she clawed up this disc which was still sitting out
loose from the cleanup operation. Amazingly, the disc still plays.

ah, well, it's still a weird translation, and especially a weird title for
a song.
it's a shame, the spinners, i felt like seeing what this motown cd is that's
been lying on the computer desk.. now i know, and knowing's half the battle.

Caledon, "The Noble Trousers." Caledon is Clan Alba minus Dick Gaughan,
more or less; another outpost of the vast musical empire of
Scottish harpists & singers Mary MacMaster and Patsy Seddon.

the new Yo La Tengo album, "I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One"
perhaps not their best to date, suffers from some consistency
problems, but has some great tracks - I just can't get the beat
from "Moby Octopad" out of my mind..
anyone else here like Yo La Tengo?
