I haven't heard any Tim McGraw (not even Indian Outlaw!) except for that "Let's Make Love" song he did with Faith Hill. I'm sure I'm missing something.

I didn't clue in to Morphine until it was too late. I was aware fo them, but I really didn't know what they were about. Always got them confused with Codeine, whom I knew I didn't like. Then I got The Night sent to me when it came out (jeez, that was like my first year of serious rock-write, wasn't it? what was that, 2000?). I immediately cottoned to it, and HAD to get the whole back catalogue.

the bevis frond

the bevis frond

I haven't heard his music, but I once saw him on the long-running tv quiz show 'Countdown'. Being bantered by Richard Whiteley.

― James Ball (James Ball), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 06:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Lotsa jazz. Lotsa classical.

Oh, and Pearl Jam. Yes, I have heard Ten a couple times, and both times I asked the person who played it, "Hey, what is this?" and that person looked at me like I was covered in green mayonnaise.

Tad, James, go out and buy the Frond's New River Head. Not because Nick Saloman is such a good guy, but because Ned likes it!

Nina Simone until today.

eight years pass...

Bruce Cockburn. His LPs choke the used bins. Worth investigating? I know nothing about him except that he's Canadian (I think?).

― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 18:22 (thirteen years ago)

Ah yes, Bruce Cockburn. A bit earnest and preachy at times, but he's fine if you like socially committed singer-songwriters. "If I Had A Rocket Launcher" is great, as is "Lovers In A Dangerous Time". There's a 'best of' called Waiting for a Miracle or something which contains all you need.
