I seem to have misplaced a lot of my old cd's, cause some of the things I wanna listen too, I can only find the cd case for. Rick James' Icon album has been in the cd player for over a month now.

I listened to the Beatles' White Album on the way home from Charlotte today. I never gets old!

I think today, for the first time, I realized that it wasn't chock full of their biggest, signature hits like their other albums. In a way the White Album is all the better for that, I believe.

Good observation, Lardy. You've helped me finally figure out just what that certain je nes sais quoi about the White Album actually is. Thank you.

I agree about the White Album too. George Martin has stated he'd have preferred to pare it down to one album of just the "best" tracks more along the lines of "Rubber Soul" or "Revolver." I'm glad the band had the clout to put the whole thing out. I'm sure we would've lost at least two George Harrison songs and they rarely went back to songs they'd discarded after earlier sessions. Personally I've tried to figure out my own one-disc White Album and I can't do it.

As to what I listened to today: two Blake Babies albums, "Earwig" and "Sunburn." Even the throwaway tracks are steeped in that late 80's "college rock" sound that I'm still a sucker for.

Lately, I've been frequently spinning Kate Bush's debut album, "The Kick Inside." It's a testament to her talent that, while she has followed it up with even greater albums, the debut still sounds as fresh and frisky and bursting with potential as I imagine it must have back in 1978.

This is part of my chronological revisiting of Kate's complete discography. The IMO underrated "Lionheart" is up next.

Got my mother the Ultimate Bee Gees 2 disc set, so of course I finally ripped it to my MP3 player and have listened to it every day for the last week or so.

Even watched a documentary on them a few days ago. A truly talented group of brothers who are unfairly considered the Disco guys by way too many people.

They had a long career before and after that period. So sad that only Barry is left.

Getting into mega-obscure territory here, but:

Tops of Trees, by harpist Carol Emanuel (1992). She's somewhat well-known to jazz fans for working in improv groups with free/noisy jazz musicians like John Zorn. But here she's mostly in duos or trios, playing modern-day pieces with a half-classical, half-jazz feel.

There's some atonality, but also strong melodic sensations coming through most of the pieces. My favorite is "How Long is the Coast of Brittany?" I guess it's kind of dated now, but Emanuel's playing is energetic and atmospheric without lapsing into New Age noodling, while a group of female singers provide wordless "siren" vocals to punctuate the strings. "Listening to Robin" and "Singing Sands" are the most listener friendly pieces: good to wake up to on a Sunday morning.

I know she's made at least one other disc since this one came out, but I haven't bought much new music in the last few years.

[ETA- Just had a chance to hear the newer one, called Allow It To Happen (2010). So far, not impressed. There's way too much emphasis on New-Agey lyrics and "lite" classical arrangements this time around for my taste. Though technically the playing is good.]

Been watching the Strikeback series, and have gotten addicted to it's theme song, Short Change Hero.

It's totally catchy.

Well, I've got a new stereo in my old truck, one that will take cd's and has a usb port. So, Carol's gonna take a look at my gear, and see if we can take all my old albums on cd and copy them to a flashdrive. Then see if I can plug it in and listen to it in the truck. If I do, I can listen to about 100 different albums.
