Phil Driscoll - In His Presence

[Maximus of Texas]

Hey, we went and saw Walk the Line this weekend. If you like Cash, you'll love this flic. Joaquin Phoenix nails Cash and Witherspoon can sing better than June Carter.

[Maximus of Texas]

The problem I have with Driscoll and any other trumpter is that they always play a few octives higher than necessary. Granted, I know that it is a sign of a good trumpter to hit those high notes but it doesn't make for good music. Sounds like a couple of cats making whoopy.

"My Soul's Been Anchored In The Lord" by St. Olaf choirs.

THE DIXIE CHICKS???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????

[TravisBickle]

Miles Davis: Kind of Blue

[celano]

It is difficult to pick an all-time favorite, because it changes so often for me!

All-time fav for today would probably be Peter Gabriel's third solo album, commonly referred to as "Melt".

Favorite CD of the DAY (and the past few months) is Petra Hayden's amazing acapella recreation of the Who's classic "Sellout", appropriately titled "Petra Haden Sings: The Who Sell Out". This thing still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end after hundreds of listens.

Billy Idol VH 1 Storytellers show now on DVD- it is surprisingly good and I think you might even like it--

[NRA1995]

Two favorites: "Straphangin'" by the Brecker Brothers and "Soul Vaccination Live" by Tower Of Power

[thoughtomator]

Currently I'm most partial to:

Chunga's Revenge - Frank Zappa (1970)

Nothing's Shocking - Jane's Addiction (1988)

[Maximus of Texas]

Are you saying that because of their political stance or because they are female?

My wife wants to see it. I'm too big of a Cash fan to want to see a hollywood liberal play the man in black. I may acquiesce though. Reese is a hottie.

[pissant]

I HATE billy Idol. LOL

[najida]

Easy....

Omar Faruk Tekbelik's Dance to Eternity
Alabina's Alabina
Natasha Atlas' Halim
Hossam Ramsy's Tabla Solo's

And right now my "new" favorite is Yara's Twassa Feya

And no, I don't listen to 'regular' music much.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I can only list current favorites - it changes every few weeks!

Dream Theater - Octavarium
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Neal Morse - ?

All-time fav for today would probably be Peter Gabriel's third solo album, commonly referred to as "Melt".

That's the one with "Games Without Frontiers," right? That's my second fave of his, behind "Security" (and 'Shock the Monkey' is far from the best song on that one)

Just saw it last night with the wifeling. It was not a bad movie, but after seeing "Ray", nothing is likely to compare for a VERY long time. "Walk The Line" just isn't in the same league.

Reese deserves an Oscar for her performance, IMHO. She was absolutely incredible.
