Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Someone told me about them, so I downloaded the two tracks available on eMusic. Damn - I never knew the banjo could sound so cool.
So now I need to buy one or more of their albums. Anyone know a good place to start?

Tommyrot, Bela Fleck has a very extensive discography. I'd suggest starting with one of his solo bluegrass albums like Drive (from 1988).
I also really love his stuff with New Grass Revival ( On the Boulevard is my favorite) . After about 1990 he mostly switches over to jazz. I don't like that stuff too much.
Neko is from Chicago.
She did live here for a while, but she is was born in Virginia, raised in Tacoma, Washington, (which he sings about with so much pride and sadness on "Thrice All American") and went to college in Vancouver.
Congrats, David!

Congrats on the Oxford American gig, David!
My iPod seems to love the Band of Susans right now. I think I have maybe 5-6 Band of Susans songs out of the 4000-odd songs on there, but it's served up 1-2 of their songs, most prominently "Elizabeth Stride (1843-1888)" every day since Saturday. Which is awesome.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I love Bela Fleck! Like a lot! I have a lot of their albums because I love them! Er. I really like "Hidden Land," which is the most recent album with the Flecktones, and "Live at the Quick" is an excellent live album. of the earlier work, I do like their self-titled album and the "Tales from an Acoustic Planet" duo. Hey, I think I'm going to go listen to them right now.
