donkeytom has some cool shit. Except, of course, for the Smiths because Morrisey should be shot for posing
as a singer or at least offered honest work. Like selling insurance or blowing goats.

This week:

The Sundays (Also, too, as well)

Beatles, Beatles, Beatles (Never tire of these guys)

Elton John (Back when he was still "sensitive")

Humble Pie Rockin' The Fillmore (One of my favourite 108 dB albums ever)

Eddie Money (Just did a gig with him and he kicked it)

Michael Stanley Band (You've never heard of 'em)

Simon and Garfunkel (Art Garfunkel show coming up)

The Bangles (Yeah... I know)

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

Paul Weller - Wild Wood

Sarah Mclachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstacy

Seal - Second Album

Carole King - Tapestry

Dave Bruebeck - Time Out

John Coltrane - Ballads

Wynton Marsalis - Standard Time Vol. III

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run

Thomas Shippers conducts Samuel Barber (Adagio for Strings)

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

Speaking of which, I was listening to Barber's Adagio one night and told my wife, "This piece is so gorgeous... they played it at Kennedy's funeral. I think I'd like it played at mine."

Now she can't listen to it without thinking of my funeral.

Aiieeee!!! Stupid me.

I'm presuming that is some sort of note of approval.

I notice you didn't include the Marsalis. I'd really recommend Standard Time vol III. Working with his father really smooths out the rough edges. Wynton's trumpet work on this one is sweet -- almost like singing.

w00tski is a variation of w00t, signifying extreme aproval.

The only reason I left out Marsalies is cause I've never heard him play, though I know he's spoused to be able to play in all styles well. But I also read the Miles Davis Autobiography, and he seemed pissed of about him(well, he was pissed about everyone), and said that when he first came on the scene, he wasn't very original, and he was sounding like Freddy Hubbard or Lee Morgan or whatever. He was also upset that they tried to make it seem like "Miles VS Marsalies; who's better?".

A funny story I read in there was how Davis was at some concert somwhere in the 80's, and Marsalies was gonna play the next day. So the group was playin, and in between a number, Marsalies shows up and says to Davis, "They told me to come up here and play". And Miles was just really pissed with what he did so he told him to "get the **** offa the stage!".
He seemed concerned that younger players had no respect for the old greats.

Sometimes I think of Miles Davis as "that guy that's been here forever and won't go away. But he's dead now so it doesn't matter.

Marsalis does this great thing at Lincoln Center -- an "Essentially Ellington" high-school jazz band competition. The final night of the competition is a concert with the five finalist bands doing a few numbers.

The winning band gets to play a couple of numbers or two. Then Wynton and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra perform the five numbers for the following year's competition.

When it comes to buying tickets, the best seats are already taken for the kids and their families. But... at $15 a seat to see Marsalis, I'm not going to complain too much. Makes for a nice excuse to spend a day in the city.

That sounds cool. I've always wanted to see someone play at Carnige Hall or Lincon Center, but we've just never done it(even though I've been to NY like 12+ times and we live 'bout an hour away). It's probably the tickets.

A neat section of music I've always loved(I'm drawn to really weird, spacy music kinda stuff) is fusion. The thing that impresses me about Davis and Zawinul and Corea is that during the seventies, when Jazz nearly died, they managed to switch over into the more popular sound and get outta the mainstream stuff. I know that Marsalies has done a lot of classical work(which also pissed Miles off), and that he's done mainstream, but I was wondering if he get's into that Jazz-Rock styles?

Something that always irritated me is the quality of today's Jazz. I listen to 101.9 out of NY sometimes, and a lot of the stuff i hear there is just really cheap elevator music(it's supposed to be for the workspace). Does anyone know who the real great artists of today's jazz are(I've got Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter; they're still kickin around)?

www.future2future.com is the latest decent jazz ive seen, though purists would hate it.

I have to agree with you on CD101.9. Actually, that goes for any radio station that promotes themselves as "smooth jazz."

From listening to various stations over the net, I have come to the conclusion that the "smooth jazz" format is the new substitute for "easy listening." WEZN may be gone, but CD101.9 picks up where they left off.

I keep wishing that my local NPR station would dump the classical format and go jazz.

Now why didn't I think of that!

As much as I respect and admire the musicians... I don't like jazz.
I love Classical, but jazz... AUGH. I go batty listening to it.

On a cool note... I found that I could hook up my old turntable and record my old 45's onto MP3a (complete with retro pops and scratches!).

This is a especially cool because most of them are old radio station copies that my aunt gave me when I was a kid. Stuff the radio stations didn't want anymore, of course... but which nonetheless damaged my musical taste for ever.

So while other kids were listening to the Osmonds and the Jackson 5, I was listening to.... Jerry Lewis singing "Let Me Sing and I'm Happy" or Marvin Rainwater singing "So You Think You Got Troubles."

Does this sentence mean you regard Depeche Mode as techno?
