I'm mellowing out to a little James Taylor this morning. But instead of at work, I feel like I should be sitting out in the sun on my patio sipping a cold beverage. James makes me feel like that.

Did you see "A Tribute to James Taylor" on PBS? Just watched it the other day. Good Stuff.

Does anybody here listen to:
Belle & Sebastian.
I was flipping thru some of my CDR discs I've received over the years, and found:
If You are feeling Sinister.

I have no idea where this one came from, but I wish I had seem it sooner. Not sure if it's due to my recent Nick Drake binge, but B&S has been a welcoming buzz to my ears this week. Man, I thought I was late enough on Bjork and Iron & Wine, but S&B? Rate this rate, I might start buying all of JoJo Gunne albums.....

I love the album covers of Belle and Sebastian! the music I sometimes like...a friend always calls it neuter-rock.
I've been listening to Romantica by Luna while I work at home tonight. What a great album...Britta Philips takes over on bass (plus some sweet harmonies) and Dave Fridmann twirling the knobs. This is extremely listenable stuff and its even on the second time through right now.

Various Artists: Rub-A-Dub Soldiers
Collection of early 80s Rub-A-Dub style, dub cuts by the Roots Radics with a variety of the biggest names of the day toasting over top. Languid beats, but not as slow and spacey as most more traditional dub. Lots of powerful bass sounds here to shake you up; fills in the space where Dub and Dancehall meet. Features Yellowman, Nicodemus and more. Excellent selections from the day.

Hey Ma......
.....James are back with a bang and a fantastic new album.
Ever since this dropped through the mailslot it got heavy rotation. Waving goodbye in 2001 to go their separate ways, a rejuvenated James did some gigs last year and recorded new material at a Chateau in northern France. The songs are true James and show maturity but still retain a freshness.
James unfashionable as always and this is alright by me.:)

Restless Variations
Been digging out a bunch of 80s stuff lately. This is one of those label specific compilations that used to be big. From 1985. It's got great tracks from Lazy Cowgirls, Straw Dogs, John Trubee, Mojo Nixon, Dead Milkmen, FEAR and more. Mostly straight ahead rock tracks with a few more esoteric cuts thrown in for good measure.
-
My favorite UO album. Given it being last in their catalog and more relaxed production I view it as something created more for themselves and less in their apparently endless (and unsuccessful) attempts to achieve superstardom. The knobs are only turned up to 10.

Oh, I care Sloshy-poo...I care.
What is that by the way?
I had to hit the stacks today...needed something with some slam, too much jingley-jangley lately. I grabbed some Black Strobe and found a great used copy of the first Mr. Bungle. OTH, I never get a clean escape. I snagged the new Haale for some Sufi-trance rock.

At the moment I'm Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet but that's just to let my neighbors get through dinner before we give the new Children of Bodom disc a spin...

Gotta friendly package in mail today from a friend.
Buckwheat Zydeco - Taking it Home.

If you want some dirty Cajun, I can recommend this without hesitation. Anybody into Jerry Curl?

Not sure if you are a fan already or wondering how it compares to the rest of their catalog.
Attack & Release is the first BK release for me and I've played it a few times already. Comparisons to The White Stripes are everywhere, but I don't like them so much and think BK is a blast. I picked up Rubber Factory afterward and can see they've smoothed themselves out a tad.

Bailter Space is a 90s postrock band from New Zealand. Think Joy Division with their guitars turned up to "11" :D
Thanks for caring (I think)

Thanks for your reply. Not a big fan of the Stripes, as some hipsters might call it.
Last night I was recovering with:
NIN - Ghosts I-IV.
This 4 LP album has been the best purchases I've made in months.
Hey Bernd, I think you should really consider purchasing this set. I dont think you are into NIN, but this instrumental album is superb. Defintely the one to have on LP.
Regards,
JRA

The last of the BOT for a minute, temps reputed to be hovering around fifty F. for the forseeable future, but it made for a great day slumming around town with the crew and an afternoon at an outfit called "The Jazz Kitchen".
Maintaining the mood into the night with Alexi Murdoch's "Time Without Consequence"

Hey 'sticks,
How was your job interview?
Are you filthy rich yet?
NP: Reflection Eternal.
http://www.listal.com/image/products...n-eternal-.jpg
Used to be one of my favorites. This album can still get my head noddin' once in a while.
Found some minty minty LP over the week.
-Oscar Peterson - O.P plays Count Basie.
-Riverside - History of Classic Jazz (5 LP set)
Have a great week to all,
JRA

Whattup Jay,
Everything went well and I've heard some good things back but I haven't signed anything. So you could say I'm working on it though I'm not really worried about filthy rich---I'd just like to retire one day without having to resort to dried kibbles which I fear is what awaits our generation...
Just rapped up an old one by Richard Hawley with that smooth troubador style of his. I think the rest of the night will be hangin' with the esteemed Mr. Adderly. I picked up a copy of Cannonball plays Zawinul that is begging for attention.
By the way, great avatar. Didja get the tee? Problem is it's above my waste and I broke the fingers on my screen so now I gotta drive down to K-tuck and start smackin' people 'til I find ya.
Peace

Dude, it is some kind of a new trend in the Biz of Teedustry? Buddy of mine at work sent me that in email, cuz he got sick of looking at my right hand at work.
I've been an Office Vampire, so I'm not up to date on current trends/events. If it has anything to do with AShton Kutcher, I'm taking it off immediately.
Whatever you decide to do with your career, I wish you best.
JRA
