I just heard a version of "Oops, I did it again" that was..interesting. Richard Thompson. Not pop, at all.
And really perfectly in keeping with his ouevre which includes such lyrics as "I feel so good tonight / I want to break somebody's heart."
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

I don't know him from anywhere but my local public radio saturday night.
OK, I've just affirmed to myself I am the most neurotic travel-person ever. I swear, I'm turning into my Aunt Mary, and that's not good. I just want everything clear, you know? And that makes me insane. I think it must have to do with my lack of cellphone. Back in the pre-cell days, my plans and alternate strategies made sense. Now that everyone but me has cells, it comes across as insane. Mmrph.

Well, he's got quite the cult following as both a songwriter and a guitarist. He's written many dark and beautiful songs and he plays like nobody else - tart and economical or genuinely majestic.

Interesting. Basically my music exposure comes from Sat. night at 88.1 (wypr) and then in the car, the local towson music public radio station, 89.7 (wtmd) which makes me happy even if it earworms me with that damned thank you changing lanes song. Which I'm still irked about.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Help! Does anyone know where one could find a decent bodhran that is authentic to late period (for my sister who's in the SCA) in the Los Angeles area? The place we ordered from can't ship in time for Christmas!

Sarameg, you might even know a guy writing a book about Mr. Thompson who could possibly hook you up with a best-of mix.

This is me wrt getting a group of people in different cars from Place A to Place B. I like to get everyone to stand in one place for five seconds and hear the route so that we all know where we're going. But everyone always says, "Don't worry, we have cell phones!" Yeah, sure, but..... I just don't like getting lost.

Laga, I don't know specifically what you're looking for, but have you tried Lark in the Morning? I'm not local, but they say they're still shipping in time for Christmas.
