Today, Sufjan Stevens - 'Illinoise'. He's a Michigander, I've heard. From the TC area. Great pop music. He's recording a suite of music with Great Lakes State's titles. Did anyone here catch the bands 'Lightning Love' and 'Bricktown Station' at the Dalley? Both excellent. I'm acquiring music of each.

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty
There are many memories wrapped around that one. Nice.

I cant stop slipping dollars into the jukebox at the Miami so I can hear the Clash do Atom Tan, Ghetto Defendant, Police and Thieves, Lost in the Supermarket, and a few others. I love the new online jukeboxes but damn their expensive. They also didnt have one Beatles album from the original lineup, only "Beatles, in the beginning" or something like that, nothing I recognized.

Jimaz, I LOVE Baker Street! I wish I could find it as a ringtone for my cell. This was one of the tunes that got me through graduate school!

Radiohead, huh, Vetalalumni?
That's a group for whom I hear such reverence, but whose work I have never heard.
On YOUR implied recommendation, I think I will make it a point to investigate, and not through a Youtube clip, either; if I'm hearing something for the first time, I want it to be coming through better speakers than the ones which are hooked up to our computer.
Care to recommend a specific CD?
As for me, I'm still soaking up that "Ojos Negros" CD about which I raved, earlier, but today in the car was Wayne Shorter's "Speak No Evil," and athomeafterwork was solo piano by Roland Hanna from a Montreux Detroit festival of some years back.
By the way, that Stanley Clarke CD which, apparently, both of us own? It didn't age very well, for me. It's like Clarke has not grown at all. He's always been a terrific bass player, but it just seems to me as though he is writing, and playing, the same old shit. ("Jerusalem" is really nice, however.)

Ravine, Radiohead is popular here in San Diego and recently played live, so there is a buzz right now. Playing "OK Computer", "Hail to the Thief", and "In Rainbows" CDs on recommendation from a friend who lent me the CDs. Probably would not purchase though. Wayne Shorter is on my whats next list, along with the alluring Keri Lynn Hilson. Stanley Clarke indeed has not excited most fans recently. "Bout the Bass" off the "1, 2, to the Bass" CD always funks me up though. On a related bass note, the "Palmystry" CD from Victor Wooten has been on my playlist recently.

"Sacajawea," the first cut on Shorter's "Alegria" CD, is a real winner, to my ears.

Leoqueen, the credit goes to Patrick then for mentioning Baker Street first.

It was overplayed in the 1970s and criticized for being only "pop" music but I could never get enough of it. The CD is now stuck in my car's CD player. I wore it out.

The line about "this city's got so many people but it's got no soul" had a special meaning for me while driving the sterile streets of Phoenix, homesick for Detroit.

I played that CD all the way back to Detroit, paying special attention to the line "You're going, you're going home."

Don't bother. I never understood the hype on this group. Overrated.

I've never really like Radiohead, but In Rainbows was a much better work than the other ones, (or so I thought). Anyone who wants my copies of OK Computer and KidA can have them.

Listening to an iTunes Genius playlist, based on "Arms Aloft" by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. I'm fascinated by the choices it makes.

Pam I saw Cat power at the majestic theater I like a lot of her music but was underwhelmed with her live performance every song was the same slow tempo they all sounded the same by the end of the show.

I have Baker Street on now. The thing is that I think the song would be just as good without any vocals. The instrumentation is excellent.
