Ugh. I hate that Ben Folds Five song about the girlfriend/abortion. Does
anyone like that song??

"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.

Just finished: Elvis Costello -- "Armed Forces"
About to start: Talking Heads -- "Fear of Music"
I've been on a late-70s / early-80s kick lately and it's surprising how
well some of the really good music from that era has aged (especially
compared to average popular music from the same period...) I'd forgotten
how fine an album "Armed Forces" is -- early Elvis at his bitter best..

Don't know which CD. She won't tell me when I ask. Now she's playing Jim
Croce.

Presumably Amsterdam..
I saw them at St. Andrews a year or two ago, not sure what they've been
up to since then (except that they released an EP of Velvet Underground
covers..)

The Paperboys, MOLINOS. Western Canadian Celtic folk-rock band, with
all that problems that implies. I think they have a show coming up at
the Ark, unless I missed it.

Donald Fagen, "Kamakiriad". I'm listening to it, but I'm also putting on a
tape for the car. Suddenly I find I don't like anything I have in my car,
so time to take out a batch of tapes and give them new personalities from my
CD collection. I don't even bother labelling the things any more; I just
stick a post-it on the inside of the box with the latest thing written on it.
