Excellent! Thanks for posting all that music, Jim. The song I picked from you was "Mandalay". Hope that's one that you like.

Thanks!

Added "Whisper Bee". Thanks!!!

Looking forward to it! And, thanks. I figured that I promote my own music here enough, but there has been so much music from so many other of you folks that I have liked so much, that I thought we should make it easier to have everybody heard. You all deserve an ear.

Excellent! Just added "Borrowed Car". Oh, and for the record, I am keeping it to one song per VC band. However, if you have more than one band, feel free to make multiple pages, and I will add a song from each one. Thanks!

deepseacatfish now has a song up. It's the first song on the station here: http://iacmusic.com/stationGen.aspx?stationID=7104 More to come, I hope.

The link works, and so does the song. Everyone in the house is asleep now, so I couldn't really give a good listen, but I can hear enough to know that it works. The song was added to the station here: http://iacmusic.com/stationGen.aspx?stationID=7104 It's now the first one on the page. Thanks! We just need everyone else to start uploading, now.

Hanson was the Jackson 5 of the 1990's and actually had some pretty good pop tunes.

The Willburys were great IN SPITE OF, not because of Jeff Lynne. It took the combined talents of Dylan, Petty, Harrison, and Orbison to make that album as good as it was. Think about it, once Roy died, that second record was a flippin' mess... they just couldn't do anything to override the Heavy-Handed Lynne Touch of Death.

I guess it's a circle jerk, then.

And let's not forget his posthumous meddling with George Harrison's Brainwashed -- a thoroughly disgusting display of ego run amok. (From the reports I heard, George wanted the album to stand as it was -- little more than demos. He wanted the songs to stand on their own. But, according to Lynne: "The material was too good to let it be released like that; it deserved better production." Wanker.

Since ELO broke up, Jeff Lynne is the touch of death to any album... at least artistically.

Hey! Thanks so much for listening. And thanks for the kind words.

Oh, I did purchase the new Wilco album, actually. But it was a gift for my wife, so I forgot to include it on my purchase thread.

I've just been keeping a running tab of my purchases in a thread made just for that purpose at another board. Kinda eye-opening. I didn't think that I bought even close to that many albums this year.

Not in the way of bonus material, but the sound is markedly better. And, of course, you get to hear the music in the CORRECT key!

"John The Baptist (Holy John)" just popped up on random in my iTunes and I was really digging it. Of course, it then occurred to me that there is a gaping hole in my music collection (again)... being that I have no Al in there. Is New York City (You're A Woman) the place to begin? Or are there better choices? IS a compilation all I really need? Thank you.

I think I peed myself.

A first listen now and... it's solid. Not spectacular, but solid. There are definitely some moments of not just Zep-type riffage, but Zep-aping. But really, those are the best moments of the album for me. At least on a first listen. This one may take a couple of listens to completely sink in. But, overall, it's one of the better RAWK albums that I've heard recently. (caveat: I haven't listened to much RAWK at all recently)
