oohhh.... sounds promising. EDIT: The AllMusic review entices me even more:

Agreed. That Simon & Garfunkel cover is actually BETTER than the original. But they also did great versions of: • Going Down to Liverpool (Katrina & the Waves) • Live (Emitt Rhodes) And, truth be told, many of their originals are pretty great, too... "Hero Takes a Fall" "James" I think they really started loosing their respectability with their second full-length, when they allowed producers to take over more of the creative process and tell them what they should be recording. Tried to make them into sex kittens and play songs written for them, instead of allowing them to write and

The Bangles did a great version of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS_zOdfVBMM

I can't believe that I am the only one with Raphael Saadiq on their list. Wow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjTccwj0IZc

Raphael Saadiq - Stone Rollin' Yep - Once k.d. lang - Sing it Loud That's all I got for now. I'll check in with more when I think of deserving albums. EDIT: Oh yeah, this one, too... Daniel Romano - Sleep Beneath The Willow

LINK Of course, they're gonna appeal.

Recently this one has been doing it for me, too: Jenny & Johnny - I'm Having Fun Now It's everything that the Best Coast album promised to be, but just couldn't quite deliver on a consistent level throughout the entire album. This one does it.

Super 8 Excellent entertainment. Although, I have to say that, in the 2 days since I have seen it, it is not really sticking with me in the way that the best movies do. I don't find myself thinking about the flick much. And, there are also no truly memorable individual scenes that I keep coming back to. Nonetheless, if you catch a matinee, it's a really good way to kill a couple of hours on a rainy summer afternoon.

Impossible to choose.

This is a great little anecdote:

Really? I may have to check that out. I've been really digging Toots and Jimmy Cliff recently. Thanks for the heads-up.

And this one, too:

Whirl - Whirlwind

k.d. lang at Ravinia. (We have pavilion tickets.)

Maybe they're among your all-time favorites, maybe not. Maybe they're a guilty pleasure, or maybe they're critically acclaimed classics. But whatever... which albums never fail to put you into a really GOOD MOOD? I was looking at my "NP" today and realized that both of these albums always bring a smile to my face. Always. So much fun and so much... yay!!!! You?
