Last batch?

we’ll see…

The Doobie Brothers – A smattering of singles from the pre-Michael McDonald years. Mostly “The Captain and Me”. Not a Mike McDonald fan.
The Wild Colonials – “This Can’t Be Life” I had a Christmas single of theirs that I liked so I looked for more. Think of a less coy 10,000 Maniacs and a more vibrant Cowboy Junkies. Angela McCluskey has great pipes. Check it out.
Spinanes – “Arches And Aisles”
Zubin Mehta & the London Philharmonic – “Carmina Burana” Of course.
Aaron Copland – “The Copland Collection”
Jesus Christ Superstar – The first. A great rock record of the time. Only decent thing Andrew Lloyd Webber ever did. I mean it.
Throwing Muses – The Real Ramona
Cat Stevens – “Teaser and the Firecat” and “Tea For The Tillerman” Anyone who passed through the 70s, you need to have one or the other.
Charles Bukowski – “Poems and Insults” A real find a the local used CD store! A remaster of two 1971 LPs of Mr. Bukowski doing readings at the City Light Bookshop. I would have never thought to look for this. Never even considered something like this might exist (much like the Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas CD). That is why you have to take the time, folks. Flip through those CDs! Keep your eye open for good looking cover art or names you recognize. That is where the gold is!

    Actually, i would take a quilt made of t-shirts from the following bands: Iron madien, jethro tull, starship, Mountain, Molly Hatchet and Manowar. A Michael Bolton quilt would be cool too. maybe with some tassels made of genuine Bolton mullet.

    Why not a quilt of the actual dead carcasses of Michael Bolton, Billy Ray Cyrus, John Mayer, the lead singer of Maroon 5, everyone in Linkin Park, and any other lame-ass @#$%’s that have invaded our collective consciousness and infected it with their sheer awfulness!! Wait, is that Un-Christmas-like? Sorry!

    You think that’s bad? Just wait ’til the 2007 Best Of lists come out. Want to bet that most of them will put the uber-dull “In Rainbows” at the top of their lists? Then R. Kelley?

    Gives me the hives just thinking about it…
