Did I somehow miss somebody mention "Let's Go Crazy" - Prince (Purple Rain) ?

Barry Adamson - The King of Nothing Hill Prince - Purple Rain The Staple Singers - Best Of... The Bobby Fuller Four - Best Of... Martin Newell - A Summer Tamarind

Eat Imo's pizza. Go to Vintage Vinyl.

It was on Night Music, a late-night music show hosted by David Sanbourn in the late 80's and early 90's. A great show that went away too soon.

I was a kid. I think that it just enthralled me that I had, in my possession, something that was once in the possession of somebody that I admired. And, even if it was just a slip of paper, nonetheless, it bore their signature, as proof that they did, in fact, possess it. Now, I am not so much into the autograph thing. But, when I was a kid, that was pretty much the appeal: made me feel a little closer to these folks.

I guess you could say that playing music/writing songs is my #1 hobby. (Although I think that it probably goes beyond that.) Also: Cooking I used to collect autographs. Some of my more-prized ones: Bill Cosby, Joe Walsh, Roald Dahl, Ernie Banks, Gayle Sayers, Walter Payton, Steve Morse

Frankie Miller - Once In a Blue Moon James Hunter - People Gonna Talk

I got the disc and listened to it today. It's a helluva accomplishment! The songs are excellent and there is a great feel on there of some CSN/Grateful Dead/Wilco/Son Volt/Jayhawks, etc... Basically, yeah a solid Americana thing happening. I like the tunes and there is also some excellent guitar playing. How did you meet your collaborator? Oh, and also, on my record, I had some folks from far away record their bits without ever seeing them face-to-face. The internet is a beautiful thing, like that.

Well, we did it! Until June 18, my new album is being sold for... whatever you want to pay: from $1 to $10. Email or PM me for the link. Hope you check it out. And let me know if this model was what finally pushed you over the top to check it out.

Shotgun Willie

Anyone have a copy of this that they would like to trade for something else? I see used copies at Amazon, but am not quite trusting the sources there. If anyone wants to do a straight-up, disc-for-disc trade, let me know. I would really love to get this sucker into my collection. Thanks!

Totally. But, when I love something, I need to own the physical product. And, even a burned CD isn't enough... I need the original. (I re-bought a couple of CDs that I had burns of, just because I loved them so much. And, then I gave away the burns to friends that I thought might like them.)

"Happy When It Rains" - Garbage and... "All the Umbrellas in London" - Magnetic Fields "1000 Umbrellas" - XTC

Oh yeah. That!

Bob Elliott - "As the Water Started to Rise" Seriously great song that I doubt any of you have heard before.

Hop On Pop - Chicken On a Bicycle (yeah, I listen to it... so what?!)

"Who Fingered Rock n Roll" - Cornershop (Judy Sucks a Lemon For Breakfast) "You're Gonna Miss Me" - 13th Floor Elevators (The Psychedelic Sounds Of...) "New Day Rising" - Hüsker Dü (New Day Rising) "So It Goes" - Nick Lowe (Pure Pop For Now People)

Various Artists - The Birmingham Sound: The Soul Of Neil Hemphill, vol. 1 Jim Ford - Point Of No Return Mekons - Rock n Roll

"Memphis, Egypt" - The Mekons (Rock -n- Roll) "Wouldn't It Be Nice" - Beach Boys (Pet Sounds) "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Nirvana (Nevermind)

"Girls & Boys" - Blur (Parklife) "Holidays In the Sun" - Sex Pistols (Never Mind the Bollocks...)

"Rocks Off" - The Rolling Stones (Exile On Main Street) The snare shot heard around the world, and probably the single greatest single snare hit in the history of recorded music: ba-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-da-da POW!!! "Get Ready For Love" - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (Abbatoir Blues) Another, raging opening track... gospel choirs, distorted slide guitar, and Nick's baritone. "Pumpkin Lover" - Shrimp Boat (Cavale) Just the way it falls together, from a skittering, almost tenative guitar riff, to when the rest of the band kicks in, and it all magically falls into place. Magic.

Lloyd Cole - Easy Pieces Joe Pisapia - Daydreams Grant Hart - Good News For Modern Man Super Furry Animals - Radiator/Out-Spaced

We have some temps working here for a bit, and one of them, it turns out, is the daughter of Jack Daniels... the author of Tyrone Davis' big hit, "Turn Back the Hands Of Time". I didn't think that I had ever heard it before, until I went to go listen to the samples. Fucking great song. I think that I need to go back and pick up the album. Any of y'all own it? Opinions?
