My night out inspired me to go out and pick up the Haydn London Symphonies. There are 12 of them so that ought to give me something to listen to.

Indeed!

I've been hearing all sorts of music o nthe radio from some rock band from new Zealand called the Pacifiers. Their stuff sounds good...think I might have to track some down...

My most recent purchases have been older albums that I once owned but somehow managed to lose along the way. I purchased Belly's "Star" album (Tania Donnelly's voice is unbeleivable). Grant Lee Buffalo's "Mighty Joe Moon" (A true gem from a little known band) and Michael Penn's "March" which was a steady play while I was in college (I actually remember liking it more in College after listening to it again but oh well...tastes change).

Yeah, she does have a beautiful voice. See also, Portishead. The singer for the Eels has a strange, child-like voice.

I've heard alot of good things about Portishead but I don't know if I've ever heard anything from them. How would you describe it? I think I have the first Eels album. I believe they did "My Monster and Me" which was used in the movie Shrek and the also had another hit from that album thet received a good amount of radio play. The title escapes me right now.

I'm a big fan of unique vocals and a large sound, hence my love of the Smashing Pumpkins. Any recommendations are welcome!

You know those really throaty lounge singers in noir movies? Like that... similar to Poe.

Not sure why I said Eels, though I suppose they're alright. Meant to say Cranes. One of the bands my wife has exposed me to... like Tori Amos and The Cure.

Hmmm...Sounds interesting. I own Poe's first album and I like it alot. I'll have to check them out. Any particular album that you would recommend?

Posted: **Sun Mar 30, 2003 9:08 pm**

Actually own the Cranes album as well...so far your recommendations are all very good...

Hard to find their albums. My wife says One and Jewel, she thinks, are good. Forever Songs is their newest, got it at Borders a while ago.

LF has me listening to the Beatles. I've been listening to The White Album for the last couple of days.

Posted: **Wed Apr 09, 2003 4:42 am**

Yes, he inspired me to watch (and listen to) Yellow Submarine.

Posted: **Wed Apr 09, 2003 9:59 am**

Got to like LF's taste.

I totally agree! He's a very talented writer, as well!
