I almost forgot. . . my new favorite: Pawns of Beelzebub - "Intravenous Jesus" :-]

Hola Reverendo! I am listening to Paula Cole/ Amen . . . and now this Spanish singer called Bebé, with a song called "con mis manos". Pretty interesting fusion of Flamenco and spanish gipsy with rock. Try it. I´m sure you´ll like it

I was listening to PG at The Bottom Line (late show) 1978 earlier. Right now it's Little Wing / Third Stone From The Sun by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble (Philly 1983) Both from http://www.WolfgangsVault.com

Someone has created an amazing YouTube Channel for the group called Trio Bulgarka. Many of you are familiar with them from having sung with Kate Bush, but they do ahve their own recordings out on Nonesuch Records. Earthly and Unearthly Music, I think you'll agree. http://www.youtube.com/user/bulgad

I guess it's been too many years I didn't listen really to Leonard Cohen. Since the show, on the 22. he's back here. and I love "the future" whole album

I love Trio Bulgarka also And here is kate talking about them for those interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C-QimNGAAw Just about to go in the CD is Grace Jones - Slave to the Rhythm

What do you want from me? Pink Floyd

lately i've been driving my family nuts by listening to Barbez' album "Barbez". oh, that's their 2nd self titled album. sound like anyone we know? "Imagine Kurt Weill chewing sausages with the Residents underneath the Williamsburg Bridge while watching a Russian wedding dance and you have some approximation of Barbez, Brooklyn?s one-of-a-kind post-cabaret punk chamber ensemble. Provoked by Slavic folksong, Argentine tango, post-war classical and pre-MTV punk, Barbez wrings these disparate worlds into their own unique soundscape. The group began five years ago with members whose backgrounds were in dance, rock, jazz, electronics and avant-garde classical: Ksenia Vidyaykina, Dan Kaufman, Danny Tunick (Bang On A Can Allstars), Pamelia Kurstin (Geggy Tah, The Kurstins), Dan Coates and Shahzad Ismaily. Barbez draws its unusual instrumentation into a haunting, original sound that evokes everything from Swans and PJ Harvey to Lotte Lenya and Eastern European folk music."

Wow that might win the record for Most Eclectic at the Grammies. Not a bad category, don't you think? An album that defies categorization as a result of blending influences from hither and yon. :-]

Barbez sounds to me like electric cabaret music on acid. i know some of you would so love them.

I'd never heard of Barbez before. Reminds me a bit of Birdsongs of the Mesozoic.

For Crowded House fans among us. Here are their new songs LIVE via I-Phone, I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yLwbFnEBD8
