So there I was, just looking up if there were any videos on-line of The Chieftains and Derek Bell their late harper. And next to one of them doing "The Star of the County Down" with Van Morrison was one of the same song by "Orthodox Celts". They're Good.

We do have a knack for producing unique bands. Have you heard Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin?

Aside from 'Housefire', which I really like, I haven't heard much of their stuff. I don't hit the clubs anymore so I rely on others to inform me.

My brother is currently producing a record for them, and they are quite a relief from the usual Nickelback/Pearl Jam knockoffs so prevalent these days.

The music stations around here are really lacking to say the least (in other words, they pretty much suck). It's Country, Country, Top 40 pop, Country, Classic Rock (which isn't too bad, esp the Southern Rock), country, an Oldies station (which is old Top 40 pop) and Gospel. So, if you like Country or Gospel or Gospel Country, y'all head on down to Springtown! I'd love to see (hear

) a Jazz station as well as a more progressive/alternative station (Radiohead, Depeche Mode, STLYBY, Iron & Wine, Citizen Cope...) I will add though, that Bass Country station plays a lot of older and Classic country which is a plus (Cash, Hagerd, Straight, Williams etc...)

I had always heard the Kings X was based in Katy Texas and Everclear started in Portland Oregon.

I'm glad you like it. It was surprising at first: Irish song, lead singer looking Irish somewhat, very good instrumentals, and then the accent on the singer who was (I think) working in some Irish pronunciation on top of his own. A good sound, but definitely not a common one

Yep. That's about right. Agreed on the Jazz and prog/alt station. Aside from the occasional NPR programme, we're pretty much at a loss to find good jazz. Not even a good jazz club--all rock or rap downtown, all country around the outskirts. And our idea of alternative is Pearl Jam and Nickelback.

Oh, well, there's always Sirius.

Jethro Tull: Aqualung. Whole album is great. Somewhat sacreligious in parts, but, we are not all perfect, especially if you happen to be a flute-playing, folk-dancing, lead singer for a prog rock band.

"Wings of a Butterfly" by H.I.M. It's a beautiful song with personal meaning, because it always reminds me of a dear friend. The song right after it in my list of (legal!) MP3s is "Speed Of Sound" by Coldplay.

The local all-classical radio station, www.allclassical.org, is now running through this year's Top 89 Countdown (89.9 FM here) classical works, as voted on by the station's listeners--I voted. They started the day after Christmas and will finish on New Year's Eve. Right now at this moment, they just finished playing No. 48 on the list, Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2, and are now playing No. 47, Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. Good stuff for the classical buff.

my daughter is responsible for my latest listening choices. That harmless goth looking kid in my avitar....
She's studying music therapy and thinks I need to start playing piano again (I stopped because of pain and numbness in my hands-lupus)...."You can do chords", says she, it's easy, (except I have no rhythm). She had to be a human metrenome and tap the beat on my back so I know when to change chords...I really can't play anything written after 1750.

but...She ALWAYS wins...I did it...and now have this horrible "earworm" (not a real worm, it's slang for one of those songs you can't get out of your head-learn something new everyday, whether you want to or not).

I learned an oldie, that THIS "oldie" had never heard before. I know lots of Bob Dylan, but this?

?.

Someone, please tell me it's a sin, or harmful to my Orthodox Spirituality, anything so I can have a good reason to get out of this. (if these words break some rules, feel free to delete...wish I could do the same with the song running through my head.

HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No." Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
God says, "Out on Highway 61."

Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
Welfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard where can I go
Howard said there's only one place I know
Sam said tell me quick man I got to run
Ol' Howard just pointed with his gun
And said that way down on Highway 61.

Well Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
I got forty red white and blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that don't ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things
And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son
And he said yes I think it can be easily done
Just take everything down to Highway 61.

Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren't right
My complexion she said is much too white
He said come here and step into the light he says hmm you're right
Let me tell the second mother this has been done
But the second mother was with the seventh son
And they were both out on Highway 61.

Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored
He was tryin' to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes I think it can be very easily done
We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on Highway 61.

all I have to hear in my head is this song and DDDA DDDA DDDA G over and over and over

it's worse than BADGER BADGER BADGER MUSHROOM....

And Starship's "We Built This City"-I think we officially have the 11th commandment:Don't ever play that song again.
