So is that it? Are we done with the Tuesday thread then?

My one recommendation at the moment (and I've been pushing this to friends in the UK) is Soniadada 'Barefoot Soul' (www.soniadada.com).

I know very little about the group but heard the song 'Angel' on a flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong. I couldn't find the album in the UK so eventually got a friend to buy it on a trip to the States.

I assume they're American but I'm not sure how popular they are over there.

I'm still listening to that boxed set by a group called Nirvana.

Been viewing DVDs, mostly; light music week other than the Nirvana.

BTW.,

Anyone here know what the quality of DVD-9 dvds is like?? They are from overseas and they have some chinese characters on the boxes. I just bought "Ray" and was blown away by both the movie and the quality.

Unfortunately, I steered away from any other titles because of their unfamiliar cases/packaging. The price was right..........$8 cndn..

Pls., anyone know anything about these??

Thnks,
Bill

Wow, a "local". I'm just over the hill(s) from you in Stockton. Glad you chimed in.

I haven't been to Scruz in a while- I used to go all the time when Streetlight had the real cheap CDs under the racks of regular-priced discs. I know, they still have them, but not like they used to.

Where do you CD shop in SC? Any other stores I should know about?

Thanks,

fp

Edit: Oops- this post is aimed at Mysterio...

Well, that's the first time I've been called a "local" here in the Cruz! I have been here since '98, but I don't know if I'll ever feel like a local. I'm sure you know what I mean...

Unfortunately, all of those that I mentioned were purchased last weekend at Streetlight. Though I love most all things in Santa Cruz, I am most disappointed by the lack of a quality music store selection. I don't even bother with those underneath racks generally, because it's too much of a pain in the ass to search and search randomly while you crouch on the dirty floor underneath someone's crotch.

I do try and temper my spending by only buying used and under $10. That's hard to do when my list grows each week after reading this thread! I've currently got 3 post it notes' worth in my wallet of stuff to search for.

I really need to make a trip to the city and Amoeba sometime soon.

But, it's fun to find those jewels.

Thanks,
Mysterio

I never post on the Tunesday thread (or most any others for that matter), but I felt compelled this week to contribute b/c of ForeverAutumn's pleading...

I wanted to thank everyone for all of the great recommendations. I always read the thread, and I have discovered bands I would have never found were it not for Stone, Davey, Troy, Ex Lion Tamer, Slosh, tentoze, ForeverAutumn, Jim Clark, Finchy, audiobill, Dusty Chalk, mad rhetoric, Swish, Jar, etc, etc, etc. A big shout out to you all!!! Forgive me if I didn't mention your name.

Now, enough gushing...

Keep up the good work!
Mysterio

Hey, Mysterio.

Thanks for the post!
It's great to see that you, too, are raving about that Pinback album.
I definitely need to get my ears on that one.

Welcome to the board,

Mysterio...I couldn't help but make the following edit to your post. Please forgive me as I know this is not very ladylike, but I just have no self control when it comes to things like this. Welcome to RR!

Very clever!

I would just like to say that I was going to comment on my own ramblings there, but I thought it ungentlemanly. Now I'm afraid I've left myself open for this jab.

For the record, those aren't the crotches I generally like to be under (not that there's anything wrong with that). Nuff said.

Thanks for the welcome as well, though I've been reading RR in the shadows for over 5 years.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program...

Hey Javier! I am really craving some latin music lately. (Spanish language only please.)

Can you tell me more about Wolleinveider and Delgadillo? I'm really intrigued by the first one. Isn't that a German name? And its hard to tell from the title if its in English, Spanish or both?

Thanks,

Snowie

(Any other recs would be appreciated. I like guitar, "modern" mariachi sounds and "indie" styles.)

Uh, Volleinweider is a new age artist from switzerland, main instrument is electroacoustic harp, he will throw anithing into the mix, from world to jazz to prog rock to classical but anythingh to do with latin trova.
On the other part Fernando Delgadillo is a singer/songwriter from Mexico ( DF) with superb guitar playing with great lirics ranging from love to political views and some goofy ones his musical style take from many parts from real trova to England folk ( actually in his first album he takes a tune from the straws) and some jazzy tunes.
I ll recommend to you con cierto aire a ti ( something like " it resembles you) and entre pairos y derivas ( something like between tide and calm).
If you like somethingh more pop/rock oriented give a try to Julieta Venegas.

Just getting settled after moving a couple of weeks ago; the stereo's not set up yet. Yet while I haven't really listened to anything new (I do have a disc by a Brit band called the 22-20s I'll be giving a spin to), I've listened to more stuff in the past couple of weeks than, it seems, in the previous couple of months. On the computer. Musicmatch Jukebox dropped a turd of an upgrade some weeks back that's had me, well, not too happy, but they just came through with an update that took care of some serious flaws in the 'playlist' department. I've been spending long hours setting up albums as playlists, and I'm finally starting to get more comfortable with the idea of computer-as-stereo than I had been previously. In the past I really didn't have the power or speed to do this right, but now that I do, I guess I'm not looking back. Here's my list...
