I'm looking for non-indie stuff. I don't care if it's techno, jazz, pop, classical, metal, rap, new, old, etc. Whatever you like listening to and have been diggin' lately, just spout it off and I'll do my best to get a copy of it and I'll give it a short review.

Oh, preferably recommend albums. Don't just throw out an artist.

To try out some cool downbeat check out anything by the following:

1. Thievery Corporation
2. The Dining Rooms
3. Morcheeba

It'll get ya laid if you play it at the right time with the right chick.

Jack of Arcades,

Try Muse - Absolution is great.

[Rick Nebiolo]

Good stuff I've been playing lately:

Lucinda Williams:
- Cart Wheels on a Gravel Road
- World Without Tears

Emmylou Harris: Wrecking Ball

Cowboy Junkies:
- Trinity Sessions
- Caution Horses

Ned Sublette: Cowboy Rumba

Maria McKee: (self titled solo album)

Over the Rhine: Good Dog Bad Dog, The Home Recordings

Soundtrack to "Last of the Mohicans"

Keep in mind I'm 51 years old and some/many people think I'm a nit. Perhaps my opinions should be disregarded.

Excellent call on the Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack.

Just realized that not everybody recognizes this as the greatest album evah: Toad the Wet Sprocket's "Fear". I'll never tire of that disc.

Greatful Dead and or Phish, and I cant recommend Albulms just live concerts. Go Grab any Dicks Picks (the Dead) from prior to 76 or any Live Phish from 90-96
THe have them in stires, usually there 2 disk sets. If you like it you can download tons more for free.

If you really start to dig the Jam Bands you can dive into , Disco Biscuits, Moe, Govt Mule and Medski Martin and Wood as well as about 20 others I can't name but rock.

If you like trancey/trippy stuff, Try DJ Logic - Project Logic

For Dead albums check out:

Workingman's Dead


American Beauty

[mrkilla]

I guess working mans dead would be the standard, but I don't own any studio albulms from either band so I couldn't tell you. Though Skeletons from the Closet is the standard albulm in most Juke Boxes

I'm not a big greatest hits fan, but that's me.

Miles Davis - My Funny Valentine + Four and More. this is his second quintet kicking ass at carnegie hall. Miles said the band got in a huge fight before the show and everyone was mad as hell at each other and that's why it kicks so much ass. tony williams, then 18, also lights a fire under everyone else better than anyone on this record.

Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello - Painted From Memory. I think these are some of the best songs ever written. this album is perfect.

Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra - Concert in the Garden. My personal favorite living composer, easily the most unique composer in jazz today.

Fred Hersch and Bill Frisell - Songs we know. Fred is a Bill Evans disciple and Frisell is Frisell. Very textural album considering it's a piano/guitar duo.

Ben Monder - Excavation. very very modern compositions for guitar, bass, drums and voice (wordless).

John Coltrane - The Olatunji Concert. this is Trane's last recording before he died, with Alice Coltrae, Rashied Ali, Jimmy Garrison and Pharoah Sanders. Extremely noisy and avant garde, but possibly some of the most searing music every recorded. Trane sounds like he is staring down death on this.
