6 years between albums is too damn long. I can't wait! *bounce bounce*
Now if he'll just tour some places besides Europe. I saw him on his last tour of the US, and he was one hell of a performer.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Hello, Austin! I don't have the time or scratch to hit any of the official showcases this year, unfortunately. However, it's Li'l Sphere's spring break, so we're going to go see some day shows.
My Richard Thompson box set finally came in. Best part: I get to write it off my taxes. The accompanying book(let) is full of great info that I can plunder for my book.

Man, the artwork is horrible on this RT box set, but the third disc, "Epic Live Workouts," just caused me to take back years of gleeful agnoticism. The version of "Calvary Cross" is so hotshit great that I'm surprised it didn't melt the mixing board.

Whoa. There's a recommendation.
Anybody else hear Dr. John on Morning Edition this am? [link] I was already feeling the love when he referred to folk in his NO neighborhood as char-ACT-ers. The lurve shot into hyper drive.
Tracks from his fundraising CD at the link too. I'm listening to Sweet Home New Orleans right now AIFG.

That is one of the best bits of marketing I've seen, because if there's anything you want from an RT box set, it's Epic Live Workouts. Particularly of "Calvary Cross."
How many guitarists can you say that about? Tom Verlaine?

The only thing I can think of that's comparable is that Television Live At The Old Waldorf disc from a few years back. Truth be told, the first two discs are ok, the sort of thing that most RT fanatics would already have on bootleg. The last disc collects many of his one-off covers and jokey songs. The Epic Live Workout disc, though, is... well, I wish they'd just done five discs of this.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Now if he'll just tour some places besides Europe. I saw him on his last tour of the US, and he was one hell of a performer.
Even Europe hasn't seen much of him over the last 10-15 years but it's been almost 26 years since he last toured Australia. I did contact his website about 4 years ago and told them about the annual Big Day Out festival across Australia and New Zealand. His dad/manager replied and said they'd look into it but nothing eventuated...yet. He has promised to try and do a world tour to promote the new album but has said he could only do it if he was able to get onto a festival bill in far-away countries. I'm hoping the 2007 BDO festival will have his name at the top!
