Hi Shawn! I know I'm not around enough, the curse of a non-internet workplace (and general fatigue and crap). But I miss you.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

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.

A lot of my friends are musicians. A lot of my friends are lawyers (and I work at a law firm.) Both groups like to tell jokes about themselves. I usually like the musician jokes better. From my friend Alec:
Q: What's the difference between a large pizza and a singer/songwriter?
A: A large pizza can feed a family of four.

Gandalfe, you know David Sylvian put a new album out recently called Blemish, yeah? It's very good (well, I like about half of it, put it that way).
I'm not sure if this is out in the US, but if you know a store that's good with imports you might find it - not sure if you can get imports on-line or not.
Sylvian's album's (a studio album and a live album from the subsequent tour) with Robert Fripp are really amazing too, but much noisier than his solo work.
Gone to Earth is really good, too. And there's a Japan-reunion-by-another-name album called Rain Tree Crow (or Rain Crow Tree - memfaulting on which).
I really like the recent Pretty Girls Make Graves album.

Does anyone know anything about Morcheeba?
Shawn does. She sent me some on the trip hop mix.

"Why do the facts hate America?" - Jon Stewart
So – the new Wilco, “A Ghost is Born” – wonderful. It moves away from the noise experimentation of YHF, but for the last track which honestly I could live without, but there’s some incredible instrumental experimentation going on. I have a feeling that like YHF it’s going to take many listenings for me to fully appreciate it. Some folks I know don’t like the electric guitar noodling on “Muzzle of Bees” but I kind of love it – it’s Sonic Youth style noodling, not jam-band style, which I have no tolerance for. And they’ve still got some shorter poppier numbers – “Handshake Drugs” should be a single. (Yeah, I know that one was on the EP but I love that song)

Does anyone know anything about Morcheeba?
SA, I got CDs from you today! And....one has a Morcheeba song on it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I know a little about Morcheeba. You could probably find out the same amount from allmusic.
Angus, mwah!

Cool, glad they arrived. And hence the asking.
I'll poke around the net a bit more, then.

I AM SO JEALOUS THAT CATHY HAS HEARD THE NEW WILCO!!
But I'm glad to hear you like it.
Off to music store to buy the new Iron and Wine...(with a gift certificate! - I am being a good unemployed musicholic. Last night I got all hooked up with emusic at home. And it took me 3 HOURS to download a single album but - it was free. It was free.)
