anastasia: This one was actually pretty popular when released - i heard it lots on the regular radio - i was happy to hear her being played and she gained some new fans...



im going to go check Alice by the Coctea Twins now....

anastasia: Thats great! singing whatever needs to come out in the moment... im a big fan of Lorenna McKennit too - and with your recommendation - ill be checking out the others too! thanks! - wait - i think Inkubus Sukkubus sounds familiar... hmmm - lol - im tired too i guess...

anastasia: Well - first - like i said - its not really a bad thing - what i was getting at is their approach to music - its so deep and spiritual - watching their vids and listening to their music as i have for years now - its obvious to me - that this group - among many others, but foremost in my experience - truly submerge their entire being into the music - its not an art - or a performance - its an opening of the soul.... living in that environment - performing and exposing that inner side of things (like the title of the song i posted "towards the within") cant help but force a different view of the world and life on themselves and those that truly listen.... how many people go through life exposed and open - letting others see their inside.... the reality is - not many... so - is it a bad thing they are out of touch with what most call reality? i dont believe so....

anyway - just my thoughts - btw - can you tell i like this group? or maybe its what they do to me that makes me like it so much.....

redfrog: just curious...why you think they are a little out of touch with reality??? I enjoyed that video,thank you....I have a TON of their stuff on my iPod!

Not a dud on the album,probably the best album I've heard in years



What a masterpiece

anastasia: Ive been a fan of this group for years - their music always has found a way inside of me to places i think are mostly untouched. The interview at the end of the song tells a little about their own motivations - and i think they just might be a little out of touch with what we would call reality - but is that actually a bad thing? I enjoy this song - its a great sample of what they do..... i hope you enjoy it and listen...

 Just wondering if anyone here has ever listened to them..they are one of my favorites :)

TexasToest: Now wouldnt that be a treat! I dont know if I would fall asleep though

Sure is some great stuff up here to welcome me b ack.  I can't match any of it at this point.  I have precious little time these days.  Hopefully soon, the mania will end. 

awesome, if you limit me to 5 years, you might as well kill me now.  Which allows me to address Dandy-Pie's comment about oldsters being stagnated in their time.  When have you ever known me to shut out any music of any period? 

Ewe, do you think we could get Newton Faulkner to sing us to sleep every night?  Truly a strong voice - talented guy.

Jim Dandy: great song....Joni is so cool.... was that Borje Salming on drums.....lol

awesome: excellent question,it may depend on the age of the person.I would probably pick 69-74,but that may be splitting hairs.This is an example from that era,and yes,her mention of God's hockey team (THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS) did influence my selection.

awesome: ok after a little ponder on that Ive decided 1989 - 1994 is for me...

awesome: Love Bowie!!
Hmm Im not sure which 5 years I choose....Id have to think more about that! Would I choose for purely the great music or for sentimental value???

Jim Dandy: I'm curious what others would pick if you were told that you had a 5 year span of music and were not able to listen to anything else as sad as that sounds...,what would others here select ? I'd go with 1967-1972....

TexasToest: I've always felt that I'll have entered the generation gap once I don't understand what the kids are listening to.I remember making fun of my elders when they'd harken to the olden days of music,their record collections frozen on a specific date.I hope I never become so detached from the present music scene that I miss (or ignore) true genius.

Jim Dandy: ooh yes please, send him to me!

Id never heard of Michael Penn before....sounds a very 80's track

Ewe: Not a bad tune,shall we have Newton administer your required spanking for prolonged absence?
...............I still don't understand why this guy isn't huge

awesome: Killer tune,my fave of theirs.Did you get into Fripptronics at all?

Hi everyone, sorry I havent been contributing much on here lately but I have been catching all that has been posted & some great stuff as usual!!

Ive been listening to this dish of a man lately...hope you like it!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN4lAndjB1E

is the only DVD I've ever been inclined to buy.  It IS heartfelt and sincere, heartfelt sincerity in all how-many-ever people performed in that concert.  Never will that kind of empathy die, as long as we who still remember are alive.  Thank you, Dandy Sweets.

Jim Dandy: wow- thanks for that....Man! I miss Rick Danko

don't let there be a permanent crease in your right and wrong..............

I went to see the exhibitian of King Tut and it reminded me of this frm the ole days

TJ:Thank you, TJ, for the post.  What a pleasure it is to see you in here.  Please come and post more often.

TJ: Happy Martin Luther King Day!!!

Happy Birthday MLK---Stevie Wonder

You won't dance with me

These guys defined the period of change in the music of a nation, and of the world.

Don't tell me this ain't rock 'n roll

Martin Luther King was assassinated the next day.  No, he will not get there with us.  He has already gotten there.  And, because of the technology we have today, he speaks to us for eternity..

(This is 22 minutes long, so listen when you have the time to really hear it, maybe for the first time.)

Let us spend this day in reverence for this man of whom the U.S.A. can be proud.  He speaks to all races.

awesome:  Heavens YES!  It night be that we were inundated with so much innovation in music at that time it was hard to digest some of it.  But, I loved being a part of it, didn't you?

Nice collage, and thank you so much for opening the MLK window.  That was my intent for this day, but I have been handling some administrative issues. 

In my opinion. what Martin Luther Kind did was open the door.  It may be centires before the transvformation is finished.  Meanwhile, we still have racial stresses in this country.  I, as a woman,  have him to thank for opening the eyes of wo many people.  I believe his work not only benefitted the African Americans in this country, but minorities everywhere.  His work has just begun.  It is up to us to live his legacy. 

do you have any musical groups that you didn't like when they were first out ,but you do now ? Cory Wells from 3 dog night grew up a couple streets over from me and I never appreciated how good they were...until recently

awesome:  I always wonder where you come up with this stuff...or rather GI/w you come up with it.  Thowe sounded more 50s than 70s, to me.

TexasToest: often I never knew who the originals were.. back then....or now.........

I'm on Wolfgang's Vault as I type listening to a Paul Carrack concert.  It's a real feel-good thing....so far.  But, it has been his voice all along.  How does one describe thrilling and soothing in the same breath?  You could owe it to yourself to scoot on over there and take a listen.  Just search for Paul Carrack.  It's a 1988 show at the Ritz in NY, NY.  Nice venue. 

Oh!  And, while you're prowling around there, he brought in a new Grateful Dead concert that's pretty nice grooving while you play your games.  He also  has established a liason with Daytrotter.  Daytrotter is putting the necessary components to allow indies to do their thing.  It looks like an interesting place to discover.  I think I'll be spending a little time there.  Stay tuned.  OR, you could go and deliver us a report.

Jim Dandy: Oh, I know the players change, but not the main ones as a general rule.  I find myself wondering who in that clip wasn't real.

TexasToest: Some of the bands on the road these days have little connection(if at all) with the originals,people get tricked,and end up UNhappy

Sgtranger things have happened, but to my knowledge the same three guys were the Kingston Trio from chilchood.  Give me a few minutes on that. 

Oooops, I'm terribly wrong about that.  They started out in 1957 with Dave Guard, Bob Shane and Nick Reynolds,  John Stewart joined and lead the group starting in 1961, when Guard left.  Since then, they've been through all kinds of transformations, none of which included John Phillips.  But, the trio is now none of the original three.

TexasToest: Why do I think Papa John Phillips spent some time in The Kingston Trio?
I may be confused.

John Stewart of the Kingston Trio died of a stroke on the 19th of January 2008.  If you'd like to read up on it, here's a link:

Eriisa:  I felt sorry for the old boy.

TexasToest: alright, here you go. its hysterical!
