Oh wow; I'll have to look for that one then. I asked at Schoolkids-In-Exile
a while back and they could only find "Just Can't Burn" in Records In Print,
but maybe the different name threw them off.

The "Susan Tedeschi Band" album was probably either self-released, or else
on a such a small label that it did not rate coverage in Records In Print.
I recall that the cover was yellow, if that helps you find it...

resp:293 :: I just checked at Borders, and the title of the Susan Tedeschi
Band album is "Better Days," and it is a self-released disc from 1995.
Borders had about five copies of it, so there's no need to make a crazed
dash over there. In the regular Blues bin.

Now playing -- "Genius + Love = Yo La Tengo"
(a B-sides collection; the name is a reference to a classic
Ray Charles album..) Not up to the level of their regular
stuff (but then what is?) but not without a few good tracks.
I've mostly given up on proselytizing the virtues of Yo La
Tengo, having made very few converts. At this point I guess
I'll just have to go on enjoying them privately for as long
as they continue to turn out excellent music..

Natalie Merchant, "King of May" from "Ophelia." It's a beautiful song
that I can sing for Good Friday. Does anyone know the significance of
the phrase "King of May"?

I thought I remembered a reference to that phrase in Ophelia's mad scene in
_Hamlet_, but now I can't find it. Maybe I'm just imagining things. Pity,
it would've been a nice connection.

Perhaps as a contrast to the Queen of the May?
It's a very old Catholic tradition to use garlands of flowers to decorate
statues of the Virgin Mary at the beginning of May.. Often (usually) there's
some sort of procession of children involved as well..

Beethoven's "Choral Fantasy," conducted by Leonard Bernstein.
In spots it sounds like a knock-off of the 9th Symphony.
I heard this in a radio concert. The only way I could find to buy
a copy was to get it as filler with a recording of the
"Missa Solemnis."

"Trio II", with recurring snowmobiling noise coming in through the
bedroom window.

Hmmm, I can't believe it's still snowing where you all are. Here in
Ellensburg, we had some in spots since we're near the foot of the
Cascades, but I guess more cold air is blowing over the Atlantic Ocean
than the Pacific.
I should be listening to something, but I'm not. Strains of "Romanza"
sometimes float through my head since I'm practicing it for classical
guitar lessons (it's a traditional tune that was featured in the French
film "The Art of the Forbidden Game," I believe-- my father had trouble
translating it because he kept remembering the title in French). What's
the name of that Romantic tune that's in a slow-2-- very particular
style of music-- that they play so often in Hollywood movies where the
main character wallows alone in depression, sorrow, and regret?
(The Carpenter's "Crescent Moon," a rare B-side gem for the group, is
also in this style.)

Having read Cricket's post about Ben Folds Five, I've now got "song for the
dumped" stuck in my head.
That happens all the time to me with this album - someone mentions a song or
a band that I know, and BOOM, I can't get it out of my brain all evening.

"Brick", you mean? - that was their recent hideously overplayed hit, at any
rate. It is far, far from the top of my list, but it does improve once you
aren't hearing it every day on the radio.

re: 307
I liked that song... It had a great melody. But it was overplayed. I
prefered their other single "Battle of Who Could Care Less" more.
I'm listening to "This Will Be My Year," by Semisonic. I just checked out
the album from the library, and I have to admit to liking it.

Penguin Cafe Orchestra - "Penguin Cafe Orchestra"
re #309: if you like "Mezzanine" at all you should check out their
previous album, "Protection".. Great album, one of my favorites..

Horslips, "Ride the Nightmare", from _The Book of Invasions_.
I *love* this album. In fact, you can blame this album for my presence
on Grex, since I posted a query about it back in 1990 in alt.music.folk,
which krj answered and which subsequently led to our friendship and his
urging of Grex-visiting and music-conf.-posting upon me....

Yup, I remember that well. For a couple of years you had been contributing
to the favorite album poll which I ran on usenet until about '93.
I forget how we established that we both lived in Ann Arbor.

Paul McCartney, BAND ON THE RUN. I saw a Special 25th Anniversary
Edition of this at Tower, complete with a second CD of outtakes,
demos and interviews. Heck with it, I said, I'll dust off my
ancient LP. The ancient LP was pretty grunchy, and it had picked up
a white blob towards the end of side 1 which caused the stylus
to skip. I couldn't dislodge that hard little piece of crud with
anything more subtle than a fingernail. Ah, vinyl.
But as a pop album it holds up pretty well, McCartney still had
a good bit of the Beatles songwriting magic clinging to him in
1973.
