I got Meara's CD today! I am enjoying it muchly (and copying it to my iTunes) even as I type. If all goes well, I'll get it in the mail tomorrow, or Saturday at the latest.
Yay! Wow, that was quick! I got it to the post office at 6pm yesterday!
AND I got msbelle's CD today! Haven't listened to it yet--my computer's been weird lately, and I"m trying to avoid it freezing. Can someone repost the link to where Jon has everyone's liner notes? I need to bookmark that.
"Everything I Need" by Melissa Ferrick kicks all kinds of ass.
Indeed!
Meara: "I sure as hell wasn't going to a Melissa Ferrick concert, listening to her do "Drive" for twenty minutes and then go home alone."
Heh. STILL TRUE. But really. Who wants to get all hepped up, groovin' and feelin' it, and then....go home?
Oh, and while scrolling back trying ot find the track listings...
Joe??!? Why do you hate the Indigo Girls?
Steph L, I finally, after much hell, got your CD sent today. Because of the amount of sucking I sent it priority mail, so it might show up Saturday. I also included Elizabeth's CD and liner notes. I should be getting a new printer shortly, so I'll print out nice liner notes and a cover and a label and everything and send that out next week.
Can you ever forgive me?
Thanks Jon! I have 'em bookmarked now.
And am listening to msbelle's CD now, on random. Which is a little odd, cause i have no idea what category any of these go in. But they're cool.
To answer Fred Pete's question from this morning about
"Mad World:
-- yes, it's the
Michael Andrews
version, and it's really haunting and lovely.
Kate - I will print out liner notes for you, no worries.
Excellent! Thank you.
Yay! Kate likes my CD!
Yea verily, it does rock. It's been my painting-the-new-living-room music for the last few days. I'm really digging that
Kylie Minogue/Fischerspooner
song, among many others.

Nothing to forgive, silly! I just can't wait to get it, as I'm unfamiliar with almost all the musicians on your mix, and this swap is -- for me -- all about getting to know new music.
Tom Waits would also make me inarticulate.
And yet, I've heard from people who know that he's a great guy to just sit and have a few drinks with. Not so much with the drinking these days, but the kind of guy who might just end up next to you at a bar and jaw a spell with you.
I'm listening to Jon's excellent mix RIGHT NOW. Sweet!
BTW, I'm going to put a cleaner version of my liner notes up on the web this weekend.
