It's The Very Best of Sheryl Crow right now. Buddy Guy is on deck.

More 80's music for me......Blondie: Eat to the beat (2 disc CD/DVD).
This new cd release, has a DVD of ALL the songs on the album.
This concept, was a first back in 1979.....and was only on VHS, and Laser disc, previously.

A little Pandora tonight on the net while I cruise Axiom...."Just Between You and Me" by April Wine....Yesssssssssssssss

Earlier this evening the First Night of the 113th annual Proms took place, the beginning of the 8 weeks that make up the world's greatest classical music festival. I'm listening on BBC Radio 3's "listen again" feature; besides broadcasting and internet streaming the programs live, most are available for the following 7 days on the BBC Radio Player . The feature tonight is the Beethoven 9th.

AC units and the neighbors' dirt bikes as I smoke a ridiculously expensive cigar in 85* heat.

If there was ever a good reason to have high speed internet it would have to be BBC Radio 3.

Sigh.

Yeah John, but give it a try anyway. Streaming audio isn't of the highest sound quality, but don't worry about it; just enjoy the music.

Rush - Snakes & Arrows

Okay, so I was able to get ahold of a CD-R copy (shhh) of Feist's first album, Monarch, and it's pretty good. I wouldn't put it up with her other albums, but I'm glad I was able to finally listen to the songs.

Also picked up the new TMBG album, The Else. I didn't realize there was going to be a bonus disc with it. Also, I like the bonus disc more than the album itself, at least so far.

Here, download a cover of Radiohead's "No Surprises" by Northern State (three girl rappers from NY who are pretty fun to see live):

Besides that, I was listening to Metric's Grow Up and Blow Away.
