A top natch poet.

Mmmm I need to pirate those 80s LKJ albums. I own the vinyl, after all, it wouldn't be a breach of copyright would it?

I won't tell if you don't.

I've rediscovered my reggae stash, and am overdosing on the likes of Johnson, I Jah Man and Big Youth.

Hey, I know I'm Irish and dead fish belly white, but you'd have to be deaf not to like that dub.

Ms No, Suite Madame Blue, OK I'll play that card. Maybe. I abhor Mr Roboto so badly, you see. I liked reading your summation of the band's end credits.

eMusic has Peter Murphy 'Love Hysteria'.

You can join for a free two weeks and get free 50 tracks. I think you are smart enough to read the sign-up, you initially have to give a credit card and if you don't like the serive then you quit. If you forget, they charge you.

If you do decide to join, please email me, as I will also get free stuff, but no pressure if you don't like the service. They have no Britney Spears or Nirvana, current big names....it is all indies. Or they have bought out the rights of older stuff as with Peter Murphy, and the first Coldplay and 50 cent, also some excellent jazz and classical cuts.

Oh good grief, I forgot how much I like his Indigo Eyes.

I have his albun with Cuts You Up.

Hmmm....I just might give that a try. I'll let you know if I do, Ulgine.

Connor,

I don't think it's wrong to download stuff you already paid for. Especially if you bought it on cassette!!! I've got no qualms about replacing old worn out cassette recordings or backing up my vinyl so I can travel with it.

One of my favorite albums ever Thanks I'll Eat It Here --- Lowell George's only solo effort --- I've bought twice on CD. The first one disappeared and the second one was so badly mistreated during a raucus house party that most of it won't play anymore. The man is dead, he's got no children and I've already paid for the right to listen to it twice.

Now if only it were all actually available online.

Sheesh.

I invite you to admire my latest ouevre "Misty Sunset With Concrete":



Let's put a more artistic touch on that:



Do you remember this horrible technique? When was that? 60s, 70s?

7835. judithathome - 9/24/2005 8:01:28 PM

Spooky!!

7836. judithathome - 9/24/2005 8:01:49 PM

Or should that be Groovy!!

7837. Ulgine Barrows - 9/25/2005 3:30:36 AM

The third one looks pregnant, to me.

7838. Ms. No - 9/27/2005 8:42:01 PM

Ha, actually the third one looks like something that could have been tooled on leather.

ORIGINAL NYTIMES REVIEWS

RIP August Wilson

August Wilson, who chronicled the African-American experience in the 20th century in a series of plays that will stand as a landmark in the history of black culture, of American literature and of Broadway theater, died yesterday at a hospital in Seattle. He was 60 and lived in Seattle. The cause was liver cancer, said his assistant, Dena Levitin. Mr. Wilson's cancer was diagnosed in the summer, and his illness was made public last month.

Anyone watch the Dylan special on PBS? I taped it last week, and finally sat down and watched it over the weekend.

I had a though while watching it: I'd love to hear him sing in Yiddish. His vocal style is perfect for klezmer music. The way he sings through his nose, and slides up, down and around the notes of the melody . . . "far from the twisted reach of craaaeeeeeaaaaazzzzy sorrow". . . can't you just hear it?

7841. Macnas - 10/4/2005 9:41:19 AM

Ahmm.....what's klezmer?

7842. jayackroyd - 10/4/2005 4:54:11 PM

Jewish pop music for dancing to. I think of it as woodwinds, but apparently that's a recent innovation.

Wiki

There are some Klezmatic clips here, the Klezmatics being a band of some general renown.

7843. Ms. No - 10/4/2005 4:57:30 PM

There's a version of Peter and the Wolf backed by a Klezmer orchestra with Maurice Sendak doing the narration that came out not too long ago. It's really wonderful. It's not in Yiddish, but there is a lot of Yiddish in it and Sendak has the correct accent.

7844. Ms. No - 10/4/2005 5:26:21 PM

If you're looking for it, however, it's called Pincus and the Pig, a Klezmer Tale.

7845. jayackroyd - 10/5/2005 3:38:14 AM

I've read 18. How about you?

Top 100 banned books

7846. ScottLoar - 10/5/2005 5:03:32 AM

Of those I remember: 3,5,6,13,41 (great American literature equal to no. 5), 47,52,69,70,77,84,90. And those I didn't remember are forgettable, like most of the Stephen King and kiddie stuff (excepting Little Black Sambo). I'm surprised Tales of the South's stories by the character Uncle Remus didn't make the list, probably because the sight dialect is beyond the ken of modern readers.

7847. judithathome - 10/5/2005 5:55:10 AM

I've read 27 of them...
