I use Ubuntu as well, on one of our small portables. Easy to install, and easy to use. Next time I need a new desktop, I'll probably build my own machine (if I can do it - and I already have - so can you) and put OSX or Ubuntu on it.

69 Love Songs is so good that I've already brought it twice on CD. Maybe I''l buy it again on MP3.

From eMusic
A.A. Bondy - American Hearts & When the Devil's Loose (i've said what I think of this guy on another thread).
Bela Fleck, Zakir Hussein & Edgar Meyer, with the Detroit Symphony Orhcestra - the Melody of Rhythm. … -
Prince - Lotus Flow3r
Dl'd from Amazon.fr for 5 (double album + a freebie by someone else).
I hadn't seen anything about this. It seems no-one bothers to review Prince any more.
It's very good. -
Well, well - that album has just dropped in.

hoosfoos, thanks for that. I dl'd Les Hommes Arm

Madonna has always been about breaking tabus - usually tabus that had been broken with fracas at least a generation earlier by those who live at the cutting edge, but someone's got to help the rest of the world keep up. She's still doing it; now it'…

Damn - I thought I posted earlier, but it's really easy to hit Back to Discussions rather than Add your comments.

No - I have Canti Nel Chiostro and Soror Mea (look out for alternative spellings - eMu doesn't know how many 'p's to put in cappella. Mind you, neither do I). Both are good.

I would have said that if there's any doubt, go for the keyboard. Here's a site which tries to help people choose an instrument. He might find that useful.

Been recommending this on the eMu boards for some time. If you like it, you may also want to listen to "Dogs Outside" by the Todd Sickafoose Group, also on eMu. Less of the Frisell, and more of the Soft Machine/Robert Wyatt, plus some Carla Bley.

Craig, I think the term Black Hole can cover several bits of oddness and suchlike. One kind of Black Hole is where you mess up the visual presentation of a thread on the eMu board, so that it looks as if there's large extents of nothing - in fact, y…

Uh-oh. Do I sense a Black Hole yawning open. -
I did pop in yesterday to see whether anyone was talking music or talking gibberish. I found neither, but I did find that someone had resurrected wanderer's dismal thread welcoming our new lords and masters. I left.

Went over and had a look at Slim Cessna. First thoughts were, "Do I need more Holy Music?" The answer to that is that I do not, and that, indeed, I find myself increasingly irritated by the seemingly never-ending queue of singers who want to bring m…

How can you air guitar on anything but air? It all went downhill when the first idiot brought a cardboard guitar along to a Ten Years After concert. If you must abandon the pure art of finger waggling - as practised by in Guitar hero Comment by TimMason September 2009

... and speaking of Marcus Garvey, have you read Chester Himes's " Cotton Comes to Harlem". Any Chester Himes is good, but that one's on the Back to Africa Movement. It stars his detective duo, Cotton Ed and Gravedigger Jones - who are what their na…

Lady said not to post anything couldn't lose.Pratchett's "Maskerade" is set in an opera house, with two young hopefuls trying to make their careers as sopranos. There's a phantom, a few murders, and a talking cat.
Ass being hustled.What, indeed is jazz? Taking amclark2's advice - organic music collection - I'll follow Don Cherry to Charlie Haden's Liberation Orchestra, which will then get you to Carla Bley (side-step here to ex-husband Paul Bley and take in the trio with Giuff…Then there's Terry Pratchett's "Soul Music", in which Death's grand-daughter, having taken over the family firm while grandad is on his hols, finds herself entangled with a singing poet and a band that plays music with rocks in it.Well, for classical music, there's always Thomas Mann's Dr. Faustus. For pop, Carl Hiassen's "Basket Case" - not one of his very best, but it's a read (Hiassen's pretty rock and roll in general). Then there is Elmore Leonard's "Be Cool". If you have…
