These live recordings by Bell X1 are available now from Itunes, but Amazon says they will have the album on 7/20. I hope they'll have a great price on it, as the tracks avai…

Nothing will quite match The World Won't End, a find from when I was new on emu, but this is very nice. -

(Quote) Maybe not because I didn't buy anything at $1.99 and I just now discovered that on 07/05 I got a $3 voucher. (I don't check that inbox often.)

I can tell I'm at that point where I'm going to have to turn to something fun. In the past when I felt that way I've turned to Carl Hiaasen and he's never disappointed me. There are a couple of his books I haven't read yet.

Two books I'm struggling with for different reasons:
With this one I'm just not enough of a computer scientist or mathematician to follow every detail. I get a lot of it, but am unclear on enough that I keep losing interest. Turing barel… -
Alabama Shakes seemed great at first, but then I began to think of it as one great song followed by some not-filler-but-close. I'll go listen to it again.

One of the things I got with my $10.00. -
No problem here.

The Lumineers are a Denver band. I've had a hold on their album at the local library since 4/12/2012 and I'm still 46th in line out of (now) 369. For $0.99 I'll just get it that way.

It sounds like September Canons might be a good place to start?

I don't bite on those amazon packages with 100 snippets of this and that for $2.99 or whatever, but with Naxos for $0.00 how could I resist? For some reason the DLM says the artist for all the tracks is a John Holloway. Weird.
I had doub… -
Another two track jazz album rec: The Survivors' Suite by the Keith Jarrett Quartet.

While looking at that Shankar album, which I might get, I found this for only $1.60.

I just looked at last and they gave me the $10.00 twice. I had $0.01, now I have $20.01. Shhh! It expires July 1st, though.

My teenaged daughter and I have been having a related conversation. She says that for a pop star to be good it is necessary to be good looking. And she's a musician. As a case in point she brings up Bieber, who she admits is not that much of a music…

I wonder whether the Lightin' Slim on the cover of Juke Joints 3 (Vol. 1) is somehow related to bluesman Lightnin' Slim. Those packages look good anyway.

(Quote) I would rather have 10 euros, but I'm not complaining.

I haven't read this, so I can't really recommend it, but I've heard it is worthwhile. It certainly comes from someone who knew about music.Now starting this. Each gets only 2-4 pages. I probably will skip around, rather than going straight from cover to cover. Since I got it from the library I won't have it long enough to read the whole thing anyway, but I think it'll be fun to go from…This series of essays I finished a few weeks ago does an amazingly good job of joining progressive politics to some figures who are not fashionable in progressive circles, like Moses, John Calvin and Charles Finney, by arguing that they have been mi…I saw on the emu page for Alabama Shakes that they were going to be at Red Rocks this summer, so I thought I'd look into ticket prices. They're going on ebay for $100, more or less. I was amazed--they're good, but that good? Then a little mor…I feel like I may have sounded antagonistic and disdainful again. If so, that wasn't my intention and I'm sorry.Listening now to what Spotify calls the LPD's "Top Hits."That Forro comp was just one part of a decade I spent listening largely to Latin American music--Mercedes Sosa, Guardabarranco, Illapu (maybe the best live show I've ever seen), Inti-Illimani, Sukay, Silvio Rodriguez, Victor Jara, Pablo Milanes, and…(Quote) Unfortunately, no.(Quote) Wow, what memories that brings. It was one of the very first albums I ever bought, probably not long after its 1961 release. I wish I still had it.

Automatic For the People comes to mind first, but I suppose more will follow. The first two that occurred to me turned out when I went to verify their era to have been released in the '80s.
And another popped up right away, Brazil Classi…
