I am LOVING it, Tina. I was literally just listening to it 10 minutes ago. There is an amazing mix of energy and thoughtfulness which are in perfect balance on the whole cd.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So this. I love that Springsteen came to the project almost completely unfamiliar with Seeger's work or place in music history. The album is so much more about Seeger's philosophy about music than his actual music (which is made clear by Springsteen's decision not to cover any songs Seeger actually wrote). My favorite song besides "Dan Tucker" is "Jacob's Ladder" so far, but they are all so good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Um... why have I not listened to anything by The New Pornographers until now? I've been listening to their three albums on eMusic almost constantly for the last few days....
I've always been a sucker for alternapop music with catchy riffs....

You should grab a couple tracks from the AC Newman album that emusic has: The Slow Wonder. Especially "On the Table."
catchy riffs....
That's what they are best at. I go back and forth, but my favorite NP album is... yeah, I still can't decide. I do love Mass Romantic something fierce though.
After listening to that Springsteen album three times in 24 hours, I am totally DRAINED. It's so emotional and joyful and good. I need to listen to something really simple now.
eta: to fix song title

Have you perhaps been entering this thread with your eyes closed and fingers in your ears for the last 4-odd years?

Well, I have done much skipping... plus, you know, too much stuff gets mentioned....

I blame my 40 Gig iPod filling up for reducing my incentive to find new music. I've been accumulating music at a prodigious rate since I got my 60 Gig iPod....

Y'know, you might find it a bit raucous, but there's this here Southern feller by the name of Elvis Presley who's been driving the teenagers wild.
(I kid!)
