ParticipantIan Hunter’s Shrunken Heads is worth a listen, imho. Has things to say about the current administration, Hurricane Katrina, our debtor nation, and other fun stuff. Relevant rock from a guy not far from 70!

ParticipantA pleasant surprise has been “Now You Know,” Built to Spill frontman Doug Martsch’s 2002 solo effort. Sort of a country blues thing going on.
On deck: Adam Franklin’s “Bolts of Melody” and Windmill’s (aka Matthew Thomas Dillon) “Puddle City Racing Lights.”

Participant“Bolts of Melody” by Adam Franklin is even better than I thought it would be. “Let’s Drag Our Feet” by Boat sounds like a band having fun. Both albums deliver easy-listening music from a parallel universe… 8)

Mindy Smith-(Her first record, the name has escaped me)July 23, 2007 at 4:33 pm #32123Hugues
ParticipantSounds predictable, but actually it’s not, and I have to say it here: among the many albums released this year I’ve listened to so far, my number one favorite is… West.

ParticipantAs a new postee I have to pay my dues to Shawn Colvin. I only discovered her about a year ago and members on her site have referred to LW so much that I was bound to investigate. So over the past 2 weeks I’ve been soaking up LW’s remarkable music.
So thanx Shawn, here are assorted faves:Shotgun down the avalanche
Another plane went down
Orion in the sky
.. and too many others to mention!August 17, 2007 at 3:32 pm #32129Ray
ParticipantA Collection of Cajun and Creole Drinking Songs – “Allons Boire un Coup” (Valcour records, 2006)
from the cd:
“… Yes, Cajun and Creole musicians do get drunk. In fact, as I write this, there is a drunk cajun sitting right next to me, playing the accordion. This is not the point, however. In the songs collected on this album, we can see that cajuns and creoles do far more than just get wasted. In these songs, drunk people dream. They waltz. They get their guns and go out in the middle of the night and kill raccoons. When their bottles are empty, they stomp their feet and play furious, driving dirges on the fiddle. People all over the world get drunk on Saturday night and have hangovers on Sunday, but cajuns drink a glass of lemonade and then write a song about it….”Saturday night’s comin’… Et toi!

ParticipantRockpile – “Seconds of Pleasure” (1980)
Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner & Terry Williams
This album never fails to put a smile on my face – “a true rock’n’roll classic”
🙂September 21, 2007 at 4:30 pm #32131Lefty
ParticipantWipers – “Is This Real?” (1980) Very real 8)
To quote mastermind Greg Sage:
“We weren’t even really a punk band. See, we were even farther out in left field than the punk movement because we didn’t even wish to be classified, and that was kind of a new territory…When we put out “Is This Real?”, it definitely did not fit in; none of our records did. Then nine, ten years later people are saying, “Yeah, it’s the punk classic of the ’80s.”October 23, 2007 at 1:33 am #32132Lefty
ParticipantThurston Moore – “Trees Outside the Academy”…simply terrific, imho.
