Regina Spektor - Far

Hmm, I've never seen that before. I've only heard the version above. I have some sort of import CD of Going Home as well, which is a terrific album. Haven't heard any other versions of either.

M&K RealTime did both the "For Duke" and "Fatha" original direct disk LPs in the 70s. I was perusing their site in the lat 90s and noticed that they had done a gold CD with both of them and bought it. It's quite good. I'll bring it to DanJam and to any other east coast meets I make in the near future.

I believe that your "Going Home" CD is from Eastwind. They are the same company that did the direct disk LP.

Boston - Third Stage

The Gathering - The West Pole

Regina Spektor - Far

Have had that playing in the car for a while. My kids now really like to sing the Dolphin Song bit from "Folding Chair." Loudly. In public. Urr urr, urr urr urr, urr urr urr, urr URRRRRRR!

Last night's Housemartins led to this morning's Beautiful South.

Patty Larkin - Watch the Sky

My new "Neko Case" - Patty Larkin is one of the best guitarists I've heard in a long while, to boot.

This forum is a veritable nest of Casists.

Big Audio Dynamite -- This Is Big Audio Dynamite

Hey! I didn't say I gave up listening to Neko Case, just that Patty Larkin is a very good replacement inbetween more releases.;)

These two are very good, too:

She's been doing albums since 1985! She also produced a compilation of female guitarists back in 2005 - La Guitara. It just amazes me sometimes to "discover" someone this good when none of my friends/family have even heard of her. She's not even on the radar at metacritic.com. I just caught a review by Parke Puterbaugh (my favorite reviewer) on Sound and Vision and it sounded interesting. Needless to say, I was mightily impressed. Just wanting to share ... ;)

If it's any consolation -- I understood.

I like good guitarists, so I will check her out. Thanks for the indirect rec.

Lloyd Cole -- Antidepressant

Possibly the album about the compromises and consolations of finally growing up in early middle age. Or perhaps it just looks that way to me.
