what are you listening to lately?

Pen_man - If you like Hammond check out his album of Tom Waits covers called "Wicked Grin". Great CD!

Richard Buckner - "Bloomed" and "Devotion and Doubt" (a friend introduced me to this Vancouver - Canuck - artist recently and haven't been able to stop listening to his stuff)
The other stuff I've listened to today has not been new to me, but may be to you:

"Achirana", Vassilis Tsabropoulos -outstanding jazz trio on ECM - GREAT recording too.

Innocence Mission, "Umbrella" - longtime favorite band of mine

Schumann, Fantasiestucke Op. 12, Emannuel Ax, RCA Red Label LP

Slipknot1- Damn, don't go telling everyone about Smoking Loon! That's one of our favorites inexpensive wines! Try their merlot too...it's a bit heavier than the cab if you can believe it! Got some serious legs and pretty smokey...almost zin-like in some ways. "I can't believe it's merlot!" Great stuff for not much $. Also quite wonderful is the Abundance vinyards selections in around the same $8.99-10.99 price range!

OK so last night we had company over too (downed about 5 bottles of the red stuff). We were enjoying some beautiful New Orleans female vocals from "Po Girls". Also I finally listened to and very much enjoyed "16 Horsepower" (I think one of the Audiophile rags used to rave about them). My wife thought they got a bit redundant after a short while ("....the guy's only got two notes!!!.......He should get together with Morrisey and the two of them would have four notes!"). Kind of a dark Apallachian sound!

Slipknot1 - I'm getting on my shoes, but it's a long walk from Seattle to NJ!!! Save some of that merlot for when I get there! Whoo, Whoo....
