Tonight's Music Wishlist

Good Lord this is exhausting...

Soulseek, a once powerful yet underground p2p media swapping client is not what it used to be. I've been on hours trying to download certain albums, and it usually doesn't take this long! I'm just going to hope that I wake up in the morning and all the following desired and treasured albums will be downloaded.

On the list this evening:

Rickie Lee Jones - "Rickie Lee Jones"
Rickie Lee Jones - "Pop Pop"
Rickie Lee Jones - "Girl At Her Volcano"
Marianne Faithfull - "Broken English"
Miles Davis - "Bitches Brew" (finally)
Marshall Crenshaw - "Marshall Crenshaw"
Joni Mitchell - "The Summer of Hissing Lawns"
Joni Mitchell - "The Ladies of the Canyon"
Jackson Browne - "Jackson Browne"
Jackson Browne - "For Everyman"
Jackson Browne - "Running On Empty"
Neil Young - "Decade"

Yes I'm into a 70's and early 80's Singer/Songwriter mood again., with a special emphasis on self-titled debut albums.

As far as Joni's concerned, it's time for me to venture away from the standard "Court and Spark" and "Blue" albums and immerse myself more into her catalog beyond merely owning those and her greatest hits compilation. "The Summer of Hissing Lawns" is the single most exciting download of the night, you should check out the sample audio clips on allmusic.com.

With Rickie and Jackson, I own singles by them but never really decided to look too deeply into what they offered. Listening to their clips on allmusic has changed my mind. Rickie's voice is so distinct and her sound is so rich that I have a suspicion that she may even become a new personal favorite.

Reviews maybe later. I'm tired
