Finally….
King Crimson – “Beat” Mainly because I couldn’t find Discipline.
Otis Redding – An anthology of all his songs.
Neko Case – “Middle Cyclone” I really like her sound and her writing has is terrific. Her best yet.
Guano Apes – “Live” Keep your Evanescence! If I need a hard rock group with a female front man, it will be this quartet from Germany. Nothing fancy – just a rock band and Sandra Nasic’s vocals can be soft or shredding, depending on the song. Plus I just love the band’s name.
Chicago Transit Authority – Self-titled. Before they morphed into the soft rock of Chicago. A classic from 1969 that stills sounds great today.
Transglobal Underground – “Dream of 100 Nations” With Natacha Atlas on vocals. From 1993, they must have invented the mix of world music and electronic beats. Global Groove music.
Charles Mingus – “Pithecanthropus Erectus” One of his finest moments.
Bette Midler – “Live At Last” It’s a theater thing. Don’t ask.
And that should do it. I started this blog with a library of 5,500 songs. I am now over 13,000. Over a month’s worth of music. I don’t know what more I can pick up. I have all the old stuff and new stuff is so few and far between. I may go through and add a single here and there – but that will be all for a quite a while until someone starts making decent new music.

I haven’t run out of space – just run out of impetus. I don’t want to scrounge around for things I’m only mildly interested in. I’ll pick up single here and there (and if someone can point me to classical music, that would be great). There may be some new world music after the next couple of weeks. But pop/rock/alternative is a dead end right now.
Pat – what station is that?

It’s a new one– only one year old– WRXP– 101.9.
They’ve got Matt Pinfield as their morning DJ and main inspiration. Sounds more like college radio in content because of the variety of what they play. They probably have only a dozen songs (if even)that they are scripted to play during a 3-hour set and the rest are all chosen by the DJ’s.

I know that station. It’s very good. Kerry knows Matt very well. They used to work at the same station in Jersey back in the 90s.

Yeah, I figured at least one of you would know him. Every morning on the way to work, I get to listen to some caller choosing a song at random from the 21,000+ songs on Matt’s Ipod. Almost always something I’ve never heard before.

As if you need anymore reason to move to Vermont, Neko Case will be moving here soon.
