"We've got both kinds of music: Country AND Western."

Willie Nelson - The Red-Headed Stranger The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms Shrimp Boat - Something Grand (disc 1) The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God Tom Waits - Frank's Wild Years

I used to live a mile or so from there, but I'm a suburban dad now, with a 9-5 (that actually begins at 6), so a Weds. at the Green Mill ain't too doable any more. One of these days, though. Thanks for the tip!

I have herpes from Exene Cervenka.

I've only got a single disc from The Rosenberg Trio and, of course I've heard plenty of Django Reinhart and Stephane Grappelli. But, who else out there plays in this style that I should be hearing? I really like all that I've heard so far but, as is the case with a lot of distinct instrumental styles, I'm not so sure that I need a whole lot more. Any fans of the style? What else do I need outside of a couple of records? And what are the ESSENTIAL Gypsy Jazz records (Incl/ Django, et. al.)? I don't see it talked about much, and a search revealed nothing on the boards, so... Louie B, I'm

Art: I would love to collaborate, if I had the means to do so. I do not. days: I've never seen Once. zkits: My friend has his own setup and we should be able to do it there. But PM me your friend's info anyway, just in case the home-recorded stuff doesn't quite pan out.

The La's - The La's The Rosenberg Trio - The Collection Gene Clark -Flying High (disc 1) Elastica - Elastica

Louie Armstrong - What a Wonderful World

King Khan & The Shrines - What Is?! think: The Stooges get signed by Motown and then trip acid with Syd Barrett.

I also have this "bootleg" vinyl compilation of OLD Parliment singles. The picture of the band on the cover, they looked so clean-cut, like this: Most of the songs made it on to the Osmium album (some of them in different recordings), but some of them didn't. The original version of "Testify" is a barn-burner. And you bet your ass I played that thing!!!

That was going to be my exact suggestion. Damn. Or, maybe if that's been overdone, you could compare: The Autobiography Of Malcolm X and The Autobiography Of Fredrick Douglas: An American Slave

Oh, I also have a test-pressing of some late-period Benny Goodman record on Chess Records. It's multi-colored vinyl and pretty swank-looking. Can't remember the name of the album, but my mom's family was friends with the Chesses in the 50's when they lived on the South Side, so she got it from them.

Original vinyl of: Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat (MGM) Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground (MGM) Velvet Underground - Loaded (Cotillion) Emmitt Rhodes - Emmitt Rhodes (Dunhill) At least, I think that they're rare. Not really a collector, so I'm not too hip on that. I just like the music.

Saturday is the date and, what I'm looking to every bit as much as the actual recording is gettin' some Chicken Vesuvio from Villa Palermo, just up the street!

The Replacements - All Shook Down Gang Of Four - Entertainment! Aimee Mann - Whatever Shrimp Boat - Duende David Bowie - The Rise and Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars

Celine Dion - The Colour Of My Love Barbara Streisand - The Way We Were Barry Manilow - This One's For You Black Sabbath - Paranoid

"Disco Duck" - Rick Dees "The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)" - Timbuk 3 "Sunglasses At Night" - Cory Hart

As far as pure sound: the entirety of Shellac - At Action Park sounds freaking amazing. Like the band is there, in the room with you. Especially if you've heard the vinyl. Also (again, sorry about the full-album instead of single tracks): Paul Weller - Wild Wood Is magnificent-sounding.

I own it. And yes, I am a big, big Daniel Johnston fan. As to the topic at-hand, Conor Oberst does have a couple of pretty amazing songs, but the bulk of what I've heard is not even close to the best of what he's done.

Some of the tones on Wild Wood are pretty spectacular, too.

Son Volt - The Search Papas Fritas - Buildings & Grounds The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots T. Rex - The Slider Os Mutantes - Mutantes

Brinsley Schwarz Perfect. Tele. Tone. Check out his tone on "Dry Land".
