"words are all right
as words
but never let them
get in the
way." Charles Bukowski
Today bought Raising Sand with Robert Plant/Alison Krauss
Delightful interpretation of Killing the Blues by Rowland Salley.
Beautiful voices. Great music and recording.
Something meditative and lightly romantic about the cd
It is very good.

i've been listening to neko case's 'fox confessor brings the flood' on high rotation since june, and last week finally decidedly it was time for some new music.
so i got 'blacklisted', 'the tiger has spoken' and 'the virginian'... all by neko case. what can i say - i really like her stuff.

i'm not all that enthusiastic about searching out live performances. i would probably have more of a current eclectic mix playing, if SOMEONE WHO PROMISED ME MIXED CDs had actually sent them to me already.
i do this with music: listen to the same album nonstop for months, till i'm finally sick of it, then move onto another.

Your Long Journey - from the same album - is playing now.
The album has a heartiness to it, like warm soup, and stories around the fireplace with
loved ones on a winter night.

^^show-off.
just finished reading 'mooch' by dan fante. pretty brutal in places. i'm not sure how i feel about it: i really love the way he writes, the easy flow, the natural style of narrative; but i felt like the whole getting-a-second-chance device was kind of shit. but then again, the ending subverted that. i can't figure out how he really feels about this cultural phenomenon of the 'american dream' - in many ways he mocks it, through the character of eddy kammegian, but at the same time he admires it and wants to partake in it.

Touching from a Distance by Deborah Curtis (anyone here know Joy Division? - seminal band from the late 70's that became New Order upon the suicide of singer Ian Curtis)
Not a bad book but his wife painted him to be a long way short of the legendary status that he holds today
Oh, and I started Isaac Asimov's Prelude to Foundation 20 months ago and may finish it this year or maybe in 2008

No wonder people download music. I too, bought one cd with 5 songs only.

I guess it depends on how long the songs are. Price put out two albums of Jazz/Funk instrumentals under the name Madhouse that have only 4 tracks each. But it's still an album's worth of music. ;)
[Later that same post...]
Scratch that, I just looked at the LPs and they have 8 tracks each. Maybe I was thinking of Metal Machine Music. Those are "instrumentals" too. Ha ha.
Carry on.

Book by William Taylor Jr
heh, sounds like you bought the wrong Miles Davis album.
his stuff from the mid to late 60's (Bitches Brew, In a Silent Way, etc.) all have tracks running at 20 minutes or more.
but, yeah, a 15 minute cd does sound like a rip off.
wasn't Evolution... a remix project?

"The law is wrong; I am right"
I just got this book about an 11 year old white boy who was kidnapped by the indians in Texas and lived with them for 9 years. He was trained as a warrior and participated in many indian raids, including killings and scalpings and what not. Against his will, he was returned to his family in 1879. A genuine "Little Big Man" story. One of those books you can't put down when first you start reading it!

In that case maybe you want to go back to the very beginning. Try; Big Youth - Screaming Targets.
It won't sound like the hip hop you're used to hearing, but it's where that all began. Duke Reid, Sir Coxsone Dodd, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Big Youth, I-Roy, U-Roy, Prince Far-I...
These guys invented improvising lyrics (they called it "toasting") over musical tracks (the dub - instrumental - B sides of Jamaican 45's). All modern hip hop can be traced back to these Jamaican pioneers. They started in the 60's, but the guys who did it in the very early 70's and released "toasting" singles and albums (it was all done live before that, never pressed on records for release - just like early hip hop) were the seeds of the New York hip hop movement of the late 70's.
