    Little Feat, Waiting for Columbus album, song "Don't bogart that joint". My dad was at that concert in Washington DC. Third row. He said that during that song, so many folks threw joints up on stage that LG picked one up and toked. The band actually took a five minute break to "enjoy" some time, and then resumed the concert.

    That song, along with "Apolitical blues" was omitted from the first CD's and cassettes, appearing only on LP until recently [that I know of] on a remastered version of the album which features 10 more songs on top of the original album.

    A trip down memory lane.... The Cure: Standing on a Beach. Even though it doesn't sound much different then what I remember coming from my boom box when I was 13, it is great to hear again.

    The new Kenny Chesney CD is great! I am not a real big country fan, but Kenny has that Jimmy Buffet, let's take a trip to the beach, type appeal.

    Probably my favorite band. I'll be 2nd row center for the Atlanta show nest summer:)
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Spryo Gyra - The Very Best Of

    Sweet CD! Very nice recording. Nice complex jazz recording that can really expose weakness/showoff the separation in a system.

    Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine

    Bookended by lush, vaudeville-like tunes created with Apple's longtime collaborator Jon Brion, EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE features production work by Mike Elizondo (50 Cent, Eminem) on all other tracks. Those expecting any hip-hop flourishes will be left empty-handed; this disc presents Apple working in her signature style, with her soulful, slightly mischievous voice carrying these confident, primarily piano-driven songs. The performer's penchant for confessional, witty lyrics is still apparent, but her approach is notably more subtle and mature here. While many tracks are gilded with adventurous arrangements that incorporate an arsenal of organs (Farfisa, Optigan, etc.), marimba, Moog bass, and other unusual instrumentation, Apple also shines when left to her own devices, as on the spare, melancholy ballad "Parting Gift." Listeners worried that the lengthy hiatus might have diluted Apple's potent, inventive aesthetic can sleep well; EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE more than lives up to the superlative in its title.

    Allison Krauss/Robert Plant - Raising Sand

    Leaked copy from the internet :eek:

    So far just a 320k kbps leaked copy, which sounds pretty good on the computer rig. I've had it for a couple weeks now and really have only just started listening to it.

    They have taken some old standby's and given it the duet treatment with a competent backing band. All-in-all pretty mellow and it definetly has a country flare. Good low key music which isn't overly inspiring but certainly if in the right mood is a pleasure to listen to.

    Dave Mason - Certified Live
    1976, CBS PG 34174, 2-LP

    Recorded at the Universal Ampitheater, this double album live set is Mason at the absolute top of his game vocally and instrumentally. The opening cut, an **** bumping funked-up arrangement of "Feelin' Alright", sets a standard that is never compromised as Dave works through several Traffic covers, an Eagles standard, a Dylan/Hendrix anthem, slow blues, and several of his signature hits.

    A "must have" for Mason fans or exactly where to start for someone looking for a solid introduction.

    Jesse and I were gobbling down BIG bowlsful of grits when we were in Georgia for Polkfest. For something that doesn't have a whole lotta flavor they are delicious I can get enough once I started eating them. In the spirit of a true Yank, I love the lumps.

    Johnny Winter - And
    1970 , Columbia C 30221, LP

    As much a Rick Derringer album, this is perhaps more indicative of Winter's range than anything before or since.
