Awesome pic! As Always!

7 Year Itch, is a 'Best of' compilation but you are missing a lot of their diversity if you just stick with 'the hits'. I'd go right back to their first "Hints, Allegations and Things left Unsaid" to get started.

I also highly recommend their "Home" DVD where they blend their tunes with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra.

Wow.

This is embarrassing. I have that disc. It's one of those that never gets played so when I scan the racks of discs, my eyes gloss over it. I didn't realize it until you mentioned the title of the disc! I probably bought it for "Shine" and then never gave the rest of the disc a really fair listen or three.

Normally, I listen to one of an artists discs on the way to a concert, but for that one (Blues Traveler, Collective Soul and Live) I thought Live was the only band that I had a disc of.

Where's that "forehead smacking" emoticon when I need it??

Heh heh. Well that one is a bit mellower than most but that's actually why I thought it was a good place to start. Now you can move onward.

And oh ya.... I'm still insanely jealous of your job.

Here you go Mark ...



I bet you'll probably like any of the albums CS has put out, their self titled album is one of my favorites and even their latest stuff, Youth and Afterwords are very good. I like 'em all.

Tonight I am listening to my newest CD. It was being played in an art glass gallery I visited over the weekend.

In the Name of Love: Africa Celebrates U2.

Interesting what some of the African bands do with U2 music.

In the Name of Love has a Lion King vocal chorus sound that is very cool.

Baltimora . . . livin' in one-hit-wonderland here.

Currently listening to a CDR I made of somewhat similar style artists: Natalie Merchant, Mazzy Star, Cowboy Junkies and the Sundays. Good stuff!

Pink Floyd Darkside of the Moon. Before that it was Los Lonely Boys and before that Nickelback.

I ended up liking Emmy the Great's music well enough, what little there is. There's an EP that only seems to be on vinyl, but since I don't want to go through the hassle of buying a turntable just so I can rip it, I settled for getting her free track on her MySpace page (my favorite so far) and her downloadables through Amazon.com.

But yeah, go to her MySpace page and download "Where Is My Mind?" if you want to try her out.

I went a little crazy on iTunes just now and bought the following:

Follow the Lights EP by Ryan Adams
Some tracks from The Airborne Toxic Event's album
Some tracks from Over the Rhine's Drunkard's Prayer
Some tracks from Over the Rhine's Ohio
Some tracks from The Avett Brothers' The Second Gleam
Mr. Brightside and All These Things That I've Done from Hot Fuss by The Killers
Daughter (single) by Loudon Wainwright III
Fans by Kings of Leon from Because of the Times
Sullivan Street by Counting Crows from August and Everything

I'm quite happy with my new acquisitions.
