Now I'm wondering if he makes any such reference in his liner notes. eMusic is a fine thing, until you need the physical product in your hands.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-20335957957162332782009-09-16T14:52:34.307-04:002009-09-16T14:52:34.307-04:00WP, Great choices all around, starting off with Mr...<b>WP</b>, Great choices all around, starting off with Mr. Snider. I'd throw in Wilco's <a href="http://wilcoworld.net/records/disco.php" rel="nofollow">Wilco</a> as well, despite your acknowledged lack of zeal for these guys.(All I can offer is that their live show is a great selling point for their recorded stuff)<br /><br />On note about McBride's "Kind of Brown". I know the tendency would be to think that he was juicing off of Miles' "Kind of Blue"....but I think he was slyly referring to the immense influence of one of his idols, bassist <a href="http://cnx.org/content/m13536/latest/" rel="nofollow">Ray Brown</a> instead. McBride always struck me as too much a gentleman and historian to be doing such a Kanye West type of thing with the departed Mr. Davis.<br /><br />As far as your note that Joe Henry may be "providing the definitive soundtrack to (this) era" goes...I hope not for our sake. My bet's on Mr. Snider's non-snide and sly conjectures on life's bitter turns.DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-77027856912384312242009-09-16T07:31:30.057-04:002009-09-16T07:31:30.057-04:00Yowsa.

"Music of the Spheres," and all that ... perhaps some sense that the universe shouldn't be, and possibly isn't, quite so cold as all that.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-45920433540803328222009-09-16T06:53:49.002-04:002009-09-16T06:53:49.002-04:00Obviously, I don’t have any special insight into w...Obviously, I don’t have any special insight into what Joe actually means by the title of his new album. But I like to think it is the description of what all great music does. It gives human form to the ethereal. In other words, stars are dreams, ideas, things without a form to hold. And it doesn’t get more real than blood. If you’re getting blood from stars, so-to-speak, it’s the intangible made tangible … much like how great music turns ideas into something we can hear, breath and feel. I love that title as i love my <a href="http://www.solocigars.com" rel="nofollow"> cuban cigars</a>.Benjaminnoreply@blogger.com
