Not right now, but will be listening to Girls Girls Girls, even though I've heard all the songs. A friend of the family just popped in. He was at the local used CD shop and came across it for $6, in the Elvis Presley section. Well, I guess this means mission accomplished; People see Elvis Costello's name and they think of me. Hehe.
The Holloways 'So This Is Great Britain' is currently on CD player new to me but have been around a year or two I believe, kind of like Blur, Frattelis, with a touch of Oliver Twist thrown in !
That guitar is so pretty, I gave that a virtual spin as well. Very nice, a little sleepy for this caffeine-deprived person.
I saw the Dogtown documentary as well as the movie with an uglied-up Heath Ledger (what a waste!!!). It was sort of a skateboarding 'perfect storm' - the kids, the technology, the drought.
Mindblowingly great.
Roy Harper from 1971 - Stormcock.
echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load

A y'alternative blend playlist compiled by all my friends at Napster. Yes, the title sucked me in. The only names I recognize are Hank III, Todd Snider, Charlie Louvin and Robbie Fulks. So far, the highlight has been Sometimes It Takes Balls To Be A Woman by Elizabeth Cook.
He says I should repent for the money I spent on shoes and bags and jewelry
Well to hell with that, my hard working ass ain't gonna sit before a jury
Now isn't that a mighty small price to pay
For all the love I send your way
Honey when it comes down to the plumbin'
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
Tom Waits, Swordfishtrombones. Sounds like the musical equivalent of oily water in a rusty hubcap, if that makes any sense. And of course, I mean that in a good way.
BlueChair wrote:Definitely a classic, StrictTime. Is that your first Waits album? If so, you've got quite a fun journey ahead of you.
Yep. The whole family went 'Oh no, she wants Tom Waits!' in as gravelly voices as they could muster. I'm usually alone in my music choice. Well anyway, good to know, good to know. I like to collect artists, as it were.
...I fail at quotes.
