Rob Zombie, "Hellbilly Deluxe" You can tell he's a big fan of horror films
while listening to this CD (and watching his videos). Good stuff.

The Costello Show (featuring Elvis Costello) -- "King of America"
1986 was an amazing year for Elvis Costello: it produced two
classic albums, "King of America" and "Blood & Chocolate".
It was shortly after this that the dastardly Mitchell Froom
slipped some unknown substance into both Costello's and
Richard Thompson's coffee -- neither has been the same since..

U2 -- "Zooropa"
It must be the Eno fan in me but I think this is far and away their
best album, certainly more to my liking than anything since "War"..
re #230: I think I stopped following Belew shortly after he released
"Here". If you find the time, maybe you could comment on his releases
in the past few years..

I don't have a copy of "Here". But I like what Belew has been doing lately.
I guess I could loan you my copy of "Op Zop Too Wah" if you really want to
know.

Orchestre National de Barbes. Um, I forget their title, it's their first
album. North African immigrant pop from Paris.

Nine Inch Nails, "Pretty Hate Machine". Guess I ought to fork out some $ for
the latest release.

Susana Seviane. The second of two recent Spanish bagpipe albums I've
gotten, I should put together a one-paragraph review somewhere.

David Bowie -- "Hours"
got fooled into buying this one by several reviews which expressed
delighted surprise that Bowie had returned to making decent albums.
unless it grows on me, I'm not sure what they were talking about;
this one seems to me to be as unexciting as any of his other 90's
releases..

I liked some of the stuff out of the middle of "Hours". Then again, I liked
his other 90s releases too. I've only heard a few tracks from the new one,
but the consensus from my Bowie-nut friends is, you should skip the first few
tracks and just listen from 4 or 5 on.

I could maybe believe that..
Now playing -- Joni Mitchell -- "Hits"
a hits collection checked out of the library in hopes of determining
which of her many albums I'd like to try.. I seem to be leaning towards
"Court and Spark" or "Blue" - does anyone have any strong recommendations
(for any of them, not just those two..)
(extra datapoint: I wasn't thrilled by "The Hissing of Summer Lawns",
I checked out from the library at the same time.. It wasn't bad, but it
didn't bowl me over, either..)

"Court and Spark" is one of the Greatest Albums of the 70s.

Perhaps I'll check it out, then.. Although I have to say that
my personal list of "Greatest Albums of the 70s" tends to look
absolutely nothing like the generally propounded version..
I will confess to owning a copy of "Rumours", but that's about
as far as it goes.. ;-)

In the absence of affordable CD "one-time" playback, maybe we could have some
sort of trading party so people could check out stuff they don't want to buy
outright (without knowing if they like it).

I loan CDs out all the time. Sometimes they even come back.
However, all my Joni Mitchell albums are on vinyl.

A 1999 project.

The Monks, "5 Upstart Americans" (mid-60's angry garage rock, mainly
consisting of the same 2 chords played over and over. Brilliant!)

Talking Heads, "Sand in the Vaseline" After seeing Stop Making Sense, I'm
listening to a lot of Talking Heads again.
