You forgot one source: Radio. (I listen to a lot of NPR.)

I know. I can appreciate it. It's just that jumore like that frustrates me. (Which is, of course, the point. I just don't enjoy it.) Felt the same about Seinfeld, too. So... it's been established that I'm a bit of a freak. Whaddya gonna do?

Sorry. Not a Gilbert fan, either. Maybe looking for a CD box set or 2-disc set or something like that, as a fair trade.

Seriously. Drop me a PM if you want me to send you the 1st season "Curb" on DVD. It's in great shape. I just don't like it. Let me know what you have to trade and we'll see if we can set something up. Kosher? Mods, it this okay?

Look for me! I'm the short guy with the big scar above his right ear.

Is bigomy legal up there?

It is one place to where I just might like to move. Can you get me Canadian citizenship? A job?

I sing, play guitar, and write songs. Style is all-over-the-map. Need bassist, drummer, keys, banjo, dobro, pedal steel, theremin, horns, reeds, whatever. Multi-instrumentalists are preferred. Not looking to play (many) shows, but I do want to make a record. A very eclectic record. A very weird, very eclectic record. Mods: If this is the wrong forum for this, please move. I don't want to step on any feet. Thanks.

Happy birthday, young lady!

So did mine, but that's neither here nor there. Still some good stuff this year, when I dig.

My band gets a lot of Ben Folds comparisons, but I've only heard him and his band on the radio. But seeing as how I LIKE what I've heard there, I figure I should probably dig a little deeper. Any fans here? Where would you suggest I start? Thanks for your input.

Well thank you, Jack. We get the Ben Folds thing a lot. Funny thing is, I never really listen to him. Must be the piano. I like what I hear I the radio, though so maybe I should pick up something?

As with every year, you just have to dig a little to find the really great music.

Nice list. Let's see i I can sum my fave purchases all up in the same way: Caesaria Evora - Rogamar Another winner from the diva of Cabo Verde. I said the same thing about Van Morrison, but I feel the same about Ms. Evora: her voice is like magic -- everything she sings in instantly beautiful. For those of you not familiar with her, it's African island music, that has a bit of a samba touch. (Cabo Verde was also a Portugese colony.) Steve Ison - The Stars Are Never Really Distant British bedroom pop. Just one great pop songa after another. Dogbowl - Flan I had this on vinyl long ago, bu

Now I got it going! And, yes, this is a very, very good song. Also very well recorded. You do this at home?

Couldn't get the player to load, but I will be checking you out shortly. Any other place to hear it?

Why the animosity? When they were together, I was definitely more in the "Jay" camp. But I still do love them both.

Thanks for the advice. Duly noted.

I tried telling y'all about him in THIS THREAD, but nobody seems to want to listen. Maybe it's because I'm still a newbie? Ask LouieB, I am a real person who really likes this board, and not a street teamer. Anyway, his album is still kicking my ass 5 years after its release. May sneak its way into my top-50, all-time. Hyperbole? Maybe. But I think that many of you around here will like it. And, yeah I do tend to do this from time to time -- hype up my favorite bands. But as I plan on sticking around for a while, you'd better get used to it. Anyway, I hope that, if you do check it out

I was on my honeymoon in Italy and saw that on the front page of USA Today. Both my wife and I cursed our luck -- from the south of Italy!!!

That's funny, because, now that I think about it, my dream opening act would be ME, too!!!

Actually the 1989 show that I saw them at was the Doolittle tour, as well. And while the show that you saw, Oil Can, may not have been great, it is certainly brag-worthy. What brought you to that Pixies show? Had you heard about The Purple Tape or, did you just stumble into the club that night?

He has The Magic Voice. Anything he sings sounds like gold.
