Dream Girl ,'Bring On The Night'
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.
Oh yeah, I picked up Filles at your recommendation last year. And I can see exactly how "He Loved Him Madly" influenced Eno. I was pretty unprepared for the McLaughlin v. Sharrock guitarfest on the Jack Johnson Sessions. I mean, the album itself rocks like hell, but the Sessions are like Can with Thurston Moore sitting in.
Oh man, I've been meaning to pick this up. I guess now I HAVE to. JJ is one of my favorite of Miles' albums, if not my absolute favorite.
Actually, one of the "Willie Nelson" tracks has a fan-freakin-tastic Bop solo on it, now that I think about it.

Yeah, man. It blew me away. I thought On the Corner was as good as it gets, but I was wrong, wrong, wrong. (edit - but, just for clarity, "He Loved Him Madly" is on Get Up With It, and GUWI seems pretty uneven.)

I've got the In A Silent Way sessions 4-disk (5?) release, which is quite good. However, the session stuff there tends towards the noodling (lots of Zawinul) - I think in that case they culled the right stuff for the actual album.
Okay, am I the only person in the world who gets all happy when Usher's "Yeah" comes on the radio?
I suspect I am, but I thought I'd check.
First word on the new Interpol. Influenced by Gentlemen? Interesting.
Am I imagining it, or is that album getting props as a major influence all over the place lately? I remember seeing it mentioned in hayden's zine and a couple other places, and now Interpol (or Interpol's blog).
Since it's in my top-of-head top 5 for the decade, I have no argument, but it is interesting how some albums seem to last like that.
What is Gentlemen? A band, a CD, what?

An album by Afghan Whigs.
I was talking about it recently because a musician friend of mine wanted to get a group of women together and do it as a dirty blues.

He's got to take seven and he might take yours.
Or something.
Thank you, David.
Am I going to have to revisit all my assumptions about what music was missable in the early 90s now? Will the Lemonheads make a comeback?
