Now I've got Beck's Mellow Gold on. I love these xmas pressies!
Good stuff...here's what Beck had to say:
"I always thought it was silly, all the hoopla over Mellow Gold. To me, it wasn't even a record. It was just a bunch of sketches. You know, there's some good songs in there, but they're really skeletons. They're not fully realized pictures."
With that, Beck Hansen casually dismisses the album that made him a star. It's about what you would expect from this subversive anti-hero. "Loser" be damned -- he has crossed that bridge already. To Beck, Mellow Gold was just "a batch of demos thrown together." Who are we to argue? Especially when faced with the imposing colossus of Odelay.
String of Pearls - Deb Conway
Congo Square-Tom Principato
We went to school together in Virginia...he became a noted guitarist, I did not.
I love the way this tune captures the flavor of a New Orleans street. Congo Square was where they auctioned off slaves back in the 19th century.

I think the Beatles did "In My Life" better than
Johnny.....but there is no way the Beatles
could have done "A Boy named Sue"!
Very quiet here in the country....I only have
music on, when I am seriously listening to it....
My hacking cough. It's loud enough that the whole damn office is listening to it.
Other than that, the Cars "Magic" .
The new U2 cd, for the 1st time.
That got a lot of Record Of The Year plaudits...
I didn't pay too much attention to it though. I heard it was good, and I dig U2.

Twist In My Sobriety by Tanita Tikaram.
I had never heard of her before. First time I listen to her song and her singing.
Has anyone ever heard or any of and her songs? I want to know if her work really is good.... or if this one song is just exceptional?
Dunno...never heard her.
Bodies by Drowning Pool--Teenage angst at it's most poignant.

Is it as good as everyone says it was suppose to be?
