I freaking LOVE that record! Have you heard it on vinyl? It's one of those albums that is miraculous-sounding on a turntable.

Yep. They called themselves The Fabulous Pussywillows http://youtube.com/watch?v=W7mleSvxWqc&amp...ted&search= I saw this when it first aired. And I happened to be (ahem) not low. And it blew my mind. From David Sanborn's old "Night Music" show; one of the coolest shows to ever fly under the radar. And I'm still a little in love with Ann Magnuson. Dig it.

Glad to hear that, Lou.

11/9/07: John Prine - Aimless Love Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Ultimate Collection Until the End Of the World (OST) Built To Spill - Keep It Like a Secret

If you've been working there 4 years, I'm sure that you've seen me come in. I don't come in much (I live in the burbs). But I lived in the neighborhood when John first opened the store. And his appearance is what sealed the deal as Lincoln Square being the perfect neighborhood. Of course, now it's changed quite a bit, but Laurie's has only gotten better. I'll be in again in December (most likely), I'll say hey if you're there. And yeah, Laurie's is a great store.

No he (she?) is not. And it is great. I thought of another wonderful, improbable one: "I Want You To Want Me" - Dwight Yoakam (Cheap Trick) and yeah, it's pretty great.

Replace Apollo with the Cale collaboration (Wrong Way Up) and that's pretty much my take on it, too.

Nearly impossible to describe. But, essentially, it's a deck of tarot-like cards. Each card has a message/image designed to guide the artist through the creative process, while still letting the artist be soverign. The artist can create their own meaning for each card drawn. Here's the web site: http://www.rtqe.net/ObliqueStrategies/OSintro.html It's freaking cool.

I only started getting into him fairly recently. And, over that period I have come to the conclusion that anything he has had anything to do with, musically, has been amazing and brilliant. He may be the single most brilliant musical figure of our time, IMO. From production, to creating his own albums, to creating a system (Oblique Strategies) that seems to bring out the best in musicians. The guy is (pardon the term) unfuckwithable. Seriously.

At first, I thought you were talking about your surgery and I cringed.

I was with you on that for many years. Then, one day, it hit me like a ton of bricks and I didn't even realize it until the record had ended, I was so lost in it all. Keep listening. If and when it does hit you, you will know.

Maybe for the complete discography, but neither band has done anything close to approaching the brilliance of Loveless.

Velvet Underground - "I'll Be Your Mirror" Ill be your mirror Reflect what you are, in case you don

11/8/07: Richard Davies - There's Never Been a Crowd Like This Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation V/A - O' Brother Where Art Thou? (OST) Mission Of Burma - Vs.

One that many of you may not have been aware was a cover song: "Respect" - Aretha Franklin (Otis Redding)

A generalization, of course. I know that they have their Anglophile fans here. I have many friends who have sung their praises for years. I just never listened to them... or, rather, always had another album that I wanted more than theirs when I went to buy records.

Is there any chance that there is streaming audio of that Fats tune, Joss? I have no access to torrent sites and would love to hear this.

The Wedding Present I've just really heard a lot of their stuff for the first time, and they are the quintessential BritPop band. Especially since nobody in the US EVER listens to them. Toots & The Maytalls Another band I've just discovered and, for my money, Toots has one of the greatest voices in the history of modern music.

So yeah, I did a search and didn't see any threads covering this topic. Some of my favorite cover tunes: "Que Sera Sera" - Sly & The Family Stone (Doris Day) "Somebody's Baby" - Yo La Tengo (Jackson Browne) "Take Me Home Country Roads" - Toots & The Maytalls (John Denver) "A Hazy Shade Of Winter" - The Bangles (Simon & Garfunkel) "Eight Miles High" - H

S'okay. I'm kinda slow on the uptake, if you haven't noticed.

You love fucking with the newbies, don't you?

So when is that biopic gonna be coming out? I thought that it was in production?

Laurie's is the best.

Yes, I did like the Eagles. And I don't think that they suck. But after hearing the same damn songs over and over... And that applies to ANYTHING that Don Henley sings on, actually. Just one of those voices and one of those presences whose mere existance has been working on my nerves for the last 25 or 30 years. And I think that is probably how most of the Eagles haters here feel. Nobody denies them their talent, it's just... ENOUGH ALREADY. That said, Joe Walsh has escaped a lot of the ill feelings associated with his former band. Both from me and from many other Eagles haters that I kno
