    Thanks Jeff. Nice to see some Mysteries of Life in there.

    That Hall and Oates acoustic stuff is always good!

    Thanks – great set, Jeff. Nice surprise to see something from Queer make the list. I picked up that album about six months ago from the super clearance bin on a lark, and it actually turned out to be pretty good.

    And here I thought I was the only one who knew about that band!

    Re: Clapton, “acoustic” eh?

    I don't think Jeff even listens to these. =)

    Actually, I listened to it for the first time before I posted it, so you're almost right. I should have taken that out, but the bootlegger said it was an acoustic set, and I've gotten used to thinking of that particular set of files as acoustic, so I forgot.

    The Mysteries of Life is one of the unsung treasures of my far-too-massive-music collection. I have never been able to write much about them except brief reviews for a couple alterna-weeklies when the CDs cam out back in the day. Excellent choice

    Yaya Diallo – Niarra is the drum solo from Inna Gadda Da Vida.

    Damn. I wish I'd picked this up when the links were still active. :(
    Gutted. There was a lot of stuff on here I'd have loved to have heard.
