A CD by Mr. Wright, something from England, I think.

(Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg, "Tha Next Episode," six years after the fact.
it was listed as being included on Snoop's debut album, but didn't
actually appear. it's on Dre's new release.)

re #331: apparently.. the copy I had on backorder finally arrived.
it's way too overwhelming to digest at one go, especially
since I haven't yet made it straight through an entire disc -
I keep having to go back and listen to things repeatedly.
it covers an *amazing* variety of styles, and reveals a
humorous side that's been less apparent in Stephin Merritt's
earlier work.
you have to love an album where the songwriter goes out of his
way to end lines with things like "boa constrictor", "Nino Rota",
"Charo and GWAR", and "Ferdinand de Saussure" just so he can
set up unlikely rhymes..
the 69 songs are witty, cynical, deeply sentimental, hilarious,
and dead serious, sometimes all at the same time..
the only problem is that 69 songs over three CDs seems virtually
guaranteed to scare off the customer with a casual curiosity,
which is a damn shame, because this really is a pop masterwork..

Uz Jsme Doma - Czech jazz/prog/rock weirdness.
I'll keep an eye out and see if 69 Love Songs is in stores yet. Thanks,

re #337: BTW, the major difference between the box set and the individual
CDs seems to be just a booklet with photos and an interview. Unless you're
fanatic, buying the individual discs would probably suffice.. Now that
I've finally got the music I realize I should've just gone for the discs
and not waited..
as far as the topic of this album is concerned, everyone can just assume
that it's what's playing from now until you hear differently.. goose may
*think* he's geeked about the upcoming Pete Townsend project, but I'll bet
my obsession outlasts his.. ;-)

Now there's an album I haven't listened to in a while..
Time has been much kinder to Led Zeppelin's music than
it has been either to most of their 70s contemporaries
or to the band members themselves..
Still playing -- 69LS..

Love is wrapped around my heart / Like a Boa Constrictor, babe.." :-)
