Talking Heads, "Stop Making Sense," the 1984 release, which just happens to be
the oldest CD in my collection.

Re #250: Ken, are there different versions of "Stop Making Sense"? Do any of
them have the entire concert in order on it?

There are now two different CD releases of "Stop Making Sense".
The older release omits several songs present in the theatrical release
of the film. The newer release restores those songs, but still omits
several songs that were cut from the film but present in the video version.
None of the versions has "the entire concert" -- there wasn't exactly
an "entire concert".. The band played (I think) four shows in L.A.
during the Speaking in Tongues tour and Demme and his crew edited pieces
of several of them together for the film "Stop Making Sense".

There was a middle edition, which could be identified by the top plastic
strip printed as "Stop Making Sense -- 2nd ed." I never got a clear
explanation of what was different about this "second edition" and
I never bought one.

The vinyl version had all sorts of neat stuff enclosed.
Now playing: Nine Inch Nails, "The Fragile". It'll probably be a few
listenings before I have any real opinion, since I don't tend to listen very
carefully these days.

Sin E', "It's About Time." Umm, for want of a better term I might
call them "progressive Irish folk..." their new album is on
Paddy Maloney's boutique label Wicklow (distributed by BMG)
so it *should* be getting American distribution.

Cry of Love, "Hand Me Down". The sort of thing you'd hear too much of on
"classic rock" stations, but well-done. And there's a song on the same album
about how bad the weather in Michigan is, so how can you not like them?

Right now I'm listening to Grunt: Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo.
A highly amusing album. :)

The Red Elvises, "Grooving to the Moscow Beat". Yup, the same Russian surf
music band featured in the film "Six String Samurai".

The Red Elvises again. Not really surf music (that term came off the CD
cover) but early rock with a lot of bluegrass and of course Russian folk
influences.

Sounds interesting.. How was "Six String Samurai"?
the Magnetic Fields -- "Holiday" I'm getting tired of waiting
for "69 Love Songs" to be re-printed..

"Six String Samurai" is highly recommended by Scott. Nine thumbs up! ;)

"Gone", by Sonia Dada. Have I raved about these guys yet? They're a
blues/soul/rock/gospel/whatever band from Chicago that my Dad discovered last
year. (Bought all three of their albums unheard after reading a good review
of them, and ended up being right). Further proof that Rock Is Not Dead (tm).

Our musical tastes seem to have a fair amount in common (and also,
an interesting amount of non-overlap, as well..)

New Sting CD "Brand New Day". Earlier on-line listening
included the new Big Bad VooDooo Daddy CD. Paul McCarney's
"Run Devil Run" CD is also in the player. A previous listen to
that shows he knows how to rock again. A shuffle play that sent
me to a track in the middle was a welcome distraction, and seemed
to make for a better lead track than his choice.

Dressy Bessy, "Pink Hearts Yellow Moons" - sugary girlie pop from
Denver. Their bassist sent it to me in exchange for one of my tinfoil
sculptures. He's a nice guy, so I feel obligated to like it.
