wow! thanks Praj for supplying this gorgeous music just at the right moment for me. This is so up to date that I just only now entered into my currently reading list started it yesterday, but I am going to listen to this now while Im reading Cirque Du Soleil's book the Spark.

Reading Bolano I listened to Basque music mostly, and Lhasa

Magdelanye, I'm jealous of you reading Cirque Du Soleil book :). I haven't been able to get it here.Another Cirque favourite:- Alegria

I'll sure check out your Basque listing.

[Magdelanye]

ah one more Lhasa in English that seems so appropriate for the book

[Ian]

This is not music, but listening to Lhasa De Sela and anticipating TSD reminded me of a politically active Chilean/Australian artist I used to know in the 80's called Juan Davila:

I can see why you would include him here...even his self portrait is disturbing!

Love it!

[Ian]

Hey, Kris, you have seriously good taste in music.

[Ian]

Mag, I haven't had a chance to listen to this latest one, but will soon.

[Kris]

Thanks so much, Jim and Ian.

Ian, I have thought the same thing of you when I have seen you post music links - there's a lot of overlap in our musical taste. It's great to have a thread like this so we can combine love of books with love of music. Warning - I am as obsessed with music as I am with books, so I could get carried away here!

Kris, I saw Cat Power play with the guys from the Dirty Three a few years ago.

[Ian]

Are there any Dream Syndicate/Steve Wynn fans here?

[Kris]

Ian, that must have been a great show! I haven't seen Dirty Three live (would have loved to), but I did see Cat Power once. It was a good show - she managed her stage fright well.

[Kris]

Ooh yes, love Dream Syndicate and Steve Wynn solo as well. The Complete Live at Raji's is one of my favorite live albums.

[Ian]

Chan did walk off for about 10 minutes. I don't know if it was a problem, the guys just did an instrumental.

I love Live at Rajis too. I've also got a lot of early boots and rarities.

Sadly, I don't have bootlegs, nor do I have many rarities, although I did end up getting deluxe editions of DS studio albums with rarities tagged onto the end bc I am a sucker for those albums for favorite bands. I am a record executive's marketing dream.... :(

<3 the Paisley Underground. What's not to love? :)

I've added the YouTube thingie for Just a Girl to post 38.

Listen to the trumpet (French horn?) and the strings.

And please indulge my segue to one of my favourite Scottish songs:

Blue Boy is my favorite song by Orange Juice - listening to it always makes me smile.

The instrumentation in Just a Girl is just lovely. It was good to read about Andy Diagram's career. I want to check out The Spaceheads now - I haven't listened to them before.

Me, too, but I'm a Velvets obsessive.
