    Yay on The Damnwells push!

    Curses on the McDermott post — I've been hunting for that CD for years, and just picked up a copy for 50¢ two weeks ago! Damn timing. (Though, I gotta say, my memory of those songs held up a lot better than the actual music did.)

    And hey, Tommy Shaw sings backup all over that Jude Cole disc. I KNEW you cared!

    Thanks for the Damnwells suggestion. I listened to the whole album this morning. It's quite good! And nice synergy on “Mr. Bojangles.”

    As I mentioned to you earlier in the week, Gethsemane is in my player still quite a bit. Some real gems on this album…….Michael mentioned at the time that musically, it was inspired by Peter Gabriel's US album, which he was listening to a lot.

    Awww…those adorable Pomegranates are friends of mine. I love them so.

    Love the Damnwells! I didn't know they had something new in the works, this really brightened up my dreary day. Thanks Jeff!

    Great mixtape all around this week – love the Paul Brady and Jude Cole. Music from when I was young and alive….sigh…

  • forwardgirl

    Me again…just wanted to say, I'm getting 6 minutes of silence on the Nino Tempo cut. Is this a track he did with Philip Glass? :-)

  • Old_Davy

    I'll join the crowd in saying that the Damnwells CD is terrific.

    Great to see Jude Cole on the Mixtape; he's extremely underrated, IMO, and if anyone reading this has a chance to pick up any his CDs, jump on it! I think they're all out of print, but used CD shops probably have a few copies.
