I saw "Changes," and for a moment hoped to see the tune by [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X8AaAxQPDM]Bix[/url].

Thorin, I must assure you that Blind Guardian is stellar.

Mind you, after I saw Napalm Death a few years back (NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF!) I decided to strike them and 3 other bands off my list to compensate for how happy I was to have seen (and briefly hung out with) Napalm Death.

I am quite enjoying the light and happy (even when the lyrics are angry) sounds of Cansei de Ser Sexy. My most grown up girl suggested I give them a listen -- [b]Alcohol[/b]is fun and [b]Rat is dead (rage)[/b]is a great dance tune. The most grown up girl has a fine and dedicated music appreciation gene inherited on the Y chromosome.

Hey Boom Boom,
Purchase second hand copies of The Weavers "Folk Songs Around the World" and Arl Guthrie's "Arlo" on Saturday. I assume you like them more than Emerson, Lake and Palmer? [img]smile.gif" border="0[/img]

You assume correctly. [img]smile.gif" border="0[/img] I think I have that Weavers album. The only Arlo album I have is a double cassette with Pete Seeger called "Precious Friend" - it is sublime.

Right now I'm listening to Nanci Griffith sing "Across The Great Divide". Nanci is one of my favourite folkies at present. I have about eight CDs by her.

Having repaired my Technics Direct Drive turntable and Pioneer receiver/amplifier, I decided to celebrate by listening to [i]The Year of the Cat[/i] by Al Stewart. BTW, I stayed at the Broadway Hotel and saw Stewart play in Vancouver in '76.

Talk about dйjа vu. It was purr-fect.

I've got that album on vinyl, N. Beltov. I'll have to give it a spin tonight. It has many fine tracks on it, if I recall correctly.

My favourite recently purchased albums:
-Silver Jews
-The War on Drugs
-the new Sigur Ros
-the new Hold Steady
-the new magnetic Fields
-Blonde Redhead
-This is ivy League
-Matt bauer

BTW, in the course of fixing my system I ran across a very interesting website that specializes in listing all the many owner's manuals of old turntables. They also have a discussion board of interest.

I'm listening to the Therion album 'Ziriuz B'

It is an interesting meshing of wicked rocking guitars, pro-pre-christian mythology inspired lyrics, and some really cool vocals.

That one takes me back, Catchfire. I still know the lyrics by heart.

I've come to think of songs as like prayers. All songs. Granted some songs are silly or vain but i don't she why there shouldn't be silly vain prayers. It doesn't have anything to do with moralizing or offering hope to the desprate. it has to do with entraining your mind into a particular sense of reality - focusing on particular expression of being.

Do y'all know Felix Leclerc? I can't get enough of him lately.

Here is a quick and dirty translation:
Bohemians prayer

To all the bohemians, the bohemians of my street
Who are not musicians, nor actors, nor clowns
nor dansers, nor singers, nor travellers nor nohing
who have each morning, bravely, neatly
In their little jacket
under their little hat
Earned through employment their daily bread
Who smile to the neighbours
Without envy
Who have decided to hope
Without ever seeing gold in the dawn or in their pocket
Those brave Bohemians, without caravan nor dog
Silent public servants with tired eyes.
I bring bring heartfelt homages
The hope of towns unknown
The entrance to paradise lost
By the continents never seen
It's them who are the strongest
Who take all into death
Before these bohemians, the bohemians of my street
Who don't have more than the night to leave
On the blue boats of their drifting away youth
Glories forgotten
Talents abandoned
Like bags fallen to the side of big roads
Who raise their hand
Cruelly happy to have crossed
the days
Sunny, Worn
Where nothing happens but more embaressments
but more deceptions
All season long
I've my hat lowered in my hand
Before my Bohemian brothers

Jimi Hendrix - [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2qRKy36dL4]Hey Joe[/url]

The silenced voices of my youth: Doug & the Slugs, Teenage Head and Jeff Healey.

A bit morbid, I realize, but damn....

"Kings of Leon" Only by the Night (2008) is really a catchy sound.

Lorraine Segato was at the rabble relaunch last night, but only as an MC - she didn't perform.

[b]Leno and Letterman were both repeats last night. Seeger played his banjo (backed by five musicians on guitar, violin, and vocals) and did a song celebrating MLK and Rosa Parks, and got the audience singing the chorus and clapping - not a bad feat considering he's 89.

Glen Campbell on Leno - he looked a little like death warmed over, and just sang into a microphone, no 12-string acoustic guitar playing for which he was legendary in the 1960s and 70s. Is he just out of rehab, I wonder. [img]frown.gif" border="0[/img] [/b]

Darn it! I meant to catch the Seeger performance the first time around on Letterman, and it seems I missed it again. If I remember correctly, Letterman did a pretty great tribute to Paul Newman that night too.

Letterman's tribute to Paul Newman was great! I especially enjoyed the story of Newman giving Letterman a Volvo station wagon modified with a Ford racing engine, good for 170 mph. [img]eek.gif" border="0[/img] Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, a guest that night, added that 'Newman's Own' salad dressing is entirely organic. Letterman said Newman had given something like $250million to charity over the years.
