Always lots of good stuff floating around we should all get a chance to hear (in a perfect world) but who has the time anymore? Sometimes I can't quite figure out your tastes either so it's hard to say. I really love the Carina Round album that I've been talking up around here recently, but don't have a clue if you would like it. Can't remember you ever mentioning PJ Harvey or Fiona Apple or Patti Smith or Chrissie Hynde or any of the "old-school" rock chicks, so guess maybe not. Very good album, though, and very likely in my personal top 10 this year. Similarly no clue about Willard Grant Conspiracy, but another big one for me. The new David Kilgour supposedly hits the street here today and that's one I've been looking forward to. And the new Bark Psychosis is great, but not widely available in the US yet. I've heard it once but don't yet have copy, but if I did I'd be playing it a lot. Stylus gave the new one by Bravecaptain (ex-Boo Radleys' Martin Carr) album of the week and it sounds like a good one, but don't know bout availability here. I'm also a big fan of Robert Wyatt so will likely grab his latest before year's end, but probably not something you'd go for. The band Richmond Fontaine has a new one I want to check out. Love what I've heard of those guys. And The National has an EP called Cherry Tree that I want badly too. Should I keep going

I was just listening to some John Cale on the excellent Sahara Blue by Hector Zazou. Great stuff. I've been trying to find a realistically priced copy of Zazou's Strong Currents from last year but not much luck so far. One of these days I'll break down and order it from France or Italy if I don't find it here. Let me know what you think of Hobosapien. I think Snowbunny was talking about buying that one but I haven't talked to her about it yet. My initial thought was that it seemed a little too far out there for her, but she's surprised me on many occasions so who knows. Maybe a bit far out for you too? Hehehe, maybe I can score it cheap after you listen

On second thought, The Fiery Furnaces is kind of on the wacky fringe too so I guess I'm barking down the wrong alley....which reminds me....I went to church that Wednesday night. The guest preacher said I bark but I don't bite. I saw my dog, but he'd seen the light. My dog was lost but now he's found. Ruff ruff
