Fred ,'A Hole in the World'
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.
The Crane Wife is pretty good. If you don't have any Decemberists, you should get Picaresque or Her Majesty.
The recent Hold Steady is also pretty good. They've recenly acquired the In The Fishtank series, too, of which the Low/Dirty Three combo is excellent and the Isis/Aerogramme is lovely and heavy.
listen to Corwood, he is wise in the ways of good music.
Thanks, to you both!
Thanks, Msbelle! I am poor in the ways of laptop typing, though.
And I hope you find something you enjoy, Lee.
I'm very fond of the Jose Gonzales EPs, and his full-length "Veneer" that I recently acquired.

You should get the Tortoise/Ex one if you haven't already, Corwood.
Decemberists were adorable in Boston as well. They played the Orpheum, a theater that holds maybe... err... 1500(?), but they made it feel much more intimate.
Oh yeah -- any harmonica players in the house? You'll never have to fumble for the right one ever again: [link]
Because everyone knows there hasn't been enough atonal classical music written for the harmonica.
History's Mysteries did a very cool piece on Ben Franklin's armonica -- that's the hummy instrument that uses moistened glass bells. In a certain sense, the predecessor to the theremin and the synthesizer....
You should get the Tortoise/Ex one if you haven't already, Corwood.
It's in my queue for this month. I do love Tortoise so, and I appreciate The Ex, too.
