@Plong42, definitely "The Edge of Twilight" is the album to check out. "Splendor Solis" is good, too, but Edge is their masterpiece. If you listen to the album, take special no…

It just now dawned on me that the band's name might imply something political - I didn't see that earlier! However, this band is from the '90s - way before the other "tea party". Anyway - the video is well worth checking out for an interesting di…

GP - Maybe, maybe not. It didn't happen for me, although I tried (of course, everyone's different.) I'm still stuck in the old jazz, which I dearly love. I'm curious, though, if most avante garde jazz enthusiasts came to be so th… -
Thanks, GP, for adding that.
Also, if Craig and others agree, Noisetrade.com would be a good addition to the MiG's Blogroll sidebar. -
Would it be worthwhile to add this at the end of the Valentine mixtape article today?
"(For more great songs for Valentine's Day, you can like Noisetrade's page on Facebook and download their free gift sampler "25 Love Songs" from variou… -
I submitted a Valentine's Mixtape Recipes piece that's ready for review.

BigD-Bluez, I second that on Thompson's Semi-Detached Mock Tudor. One of my favorite albums. The studio Mock Tudor is also excellent.
Denver, Jackie Leven died?!?!?!? I didn't know that. So sad to learn. I was hoping for a new album… -
Thanks, GP. I made the suggested text changes and responded to your queries on MiG. (Forgot to mention I added a phrase that gives the release date and record label for the new album at the beginning of the paragraph alongside the album cover pict…

I have submitted a new piece that's ready for review - for anyone who wants to and has the time.

That's great!
That Bach Easter oratorio album has been on my list to get, but hadn't got around to it yet. Good to have my memory jogged about that one. -
On second thought, while I think the piece I mentioned is great, it's probably not the best selection to pick for the first selection.
-
I'm not sure if there would be much interest in this piece, but it is the first one that comes to my mind that I think could be an excellent source to spark commentary on responses to the music heard by multiple listeners. (There is one part of thi…

Yes, I knew this thread wasn't the ideal place to post for this, but it seemed the best place to throw out the suggestion.
The reason I hesitated to try my hand at writing an article about "The Roots" is because I'm not sure I can get in… -
Yeah, I'm definitely checking him out, too. I'm listening to some samples of his previous album, "Ghost," which I think is also very impressive.
-
Is anybody familiar with the new indie rock album by Radical Face (aka Ben Cooper) that was released last fall called "The Roots"? I just discovered it and am hugely impressed with the whole concept. "The Roots" will be the first of a trilogy of a…

FYI, I'm just about done with a fun little mixtape for Valentine's Day. I'll be submitting it soon, but it can get filed away for later review when we get closer to the day.
P.S. Thanks, Jonah, for the nice words. -
@BigD - I got hooked into the Wheel of Time series about a year ago. I'm glad I only discovered it after it was almost all through, since I didn't have to wait a year for the next …

The solution is not as simple as voting all the Republicans out. I'm not defending the Republicans by any means, but although the House legislation was introduced by a Republican congressman, the majority of cosponsors are Democra… -
@GP - I don't mind at all that you shortened my contribution on the freebie piece. It is one of my major weaknesses to be long-winded.
-
Thanks, GP. Yes, I do genuinely care about Carpenter's music (and Carpenter, too, since I felt like in a way I knew him just from corresponding with Ochs, who greatly admired him). A month ago, I never even heard of Bob Carpenter or his album. I …
-
@Craig - wow, that was fast! I just looked at my piece up on MiG and noticed I have a wrong link connected to "This Rock Can Talk." Can you please edit it to use this link?
… -
I just submitted a draft that is ready for review by anyone who has the time.
I had intended for this piece to cover about 5 or 6 albums, but the piece became so long after discussion of the first album that I had to cut it off and will … -
I was glad to see the 2-line titles of MiG pieces had been fixed, but was that just a temporary fix? Just wondering, since there's no allowance for 2-line titles today.
-
@GP - your MiG trains mixtape piece was a fascinating read. I thought your original train mixtape on emusers a while back was good, but the expansion of all the extra information you…

@BT - Just wanted to extend my sympathy to you and your family.

@BigD-Bluez, I haven't checked this thread for a while - just now saw your rec for Levon Helm and the RCO All-Stars - Live At The Palladium in New York City New Year's Eve 19…

Just noticed Eric Bibb is releasing a new album, "Deeper in the Well" in March. Cedric Watson is one of the contributing artists. He's got a sneak preview on a Youtube official video here:

Yes, it certainly does pay to ask! I'm working on a draft and had emailed Ed Ochs, former Billboard music editor, to ask about something related to my post and in the process of our correspondence I mentioned how the writers on our new blog share a…

@Craig - about the link issue in your music has influenced me article - When you "read more" and click on the 'series' link, it looks like there's a 2011 in the code that is not th…
