I just bought “Painted from Memory” by Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach. It is superb.
-Le Vent du Nord : Les amants du Saint- Laurent
I agree entirely. I should have put that on my list as I’ve been listening to it, too. I always loved Burt Bacharach and I regard Elvis Costello as a genius–a term I don’t throw around much.
I’ve finally gotten around to really listening to June McCormack and Michael Rooney’s Land’s End. Great stuff.
I’ve also been on an Electric Light Orchestra kick, go figure.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - “Stadium Arcadium”
Shooglenifty - my monster mp3 collection
Todd Denman - “Reeds and Rosin” (The Templehouse is currently my kids favorite, haven’t listened to this CD in a few years and initially I didn’t like it that much. I have now kind of discovered it in a new way and I really enjoy it)

The first two Helicon (Chris Norman and Ken Kolodner) albums. The only thing more amazing than the music is that the guys were so young when they were recorded.

Spe_k_tor. Who can blame you? She can be seen on youtube doing her latest, Fidelity. And she plays bass Overtons (notice the strange pickup mic at the bottom):
OMG I have had to watch that damn music video 1000 times in the cafeteria (they play MTVU). If they keep playing it, I might have to strangle a puppy or something.
