Jungle Brothers, V.I.P. Clean party rap with funk music. These guys are also technically talented: Rapping in fast triple time, changing keys, fast rapping (ala Young MC). Creed, Human Clay. I got this C because of the songs Higher and Arms Wide open, but I like the entire CD. Fairly heavy guitar riffs, and the lead singer has a **cool** sounding voice. ATB, “Movin’Melodies”. Laid back dance, including Killer 2000 (A remake of a Bob Marley song. Sorry, couldn’t find the title) and Don’t Stop. Good driving music. 🙂 Garbage, Version 2.0 Pretty good stuff! Mechwarrior 2, (The game’s soundtrack can be played on audio CD) Yeah, I’m a geek. ---

Here at the office, at this very minute, LOUIS ARMSTRONG AND HIS ORCHESTRA: THE ORIGINAL DECCA RECORDINGS, VOL. 2 (1936-38). At home, the kitchen CD player has DICK’S PICKS, VOL. 15…the Grateful Dead live at Englishtown, NJ, September 1977. The living room stereo has Brahms’ Quintet for Clarinet and Strings in B Minor, Op. 115, backed with the String Quintet in G Major, Op. 111, performed by David Shifrin and Chamber Music Northwest. Yesterday I picked up the new Ute Lemper disc, where she sings new stuff by Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, etc. ( **Eve’s** steamed that she’s forsaking her Weimar-era Berlin cabaret roots). I’ll let you know how it sounds after I’ve snapped cellophane. ---

Charlotte Church’s “Voice of an Angel.” The tempo on Amazing Grace may be a little fast, but I can’t wait to see what her voice will be like when it matures. Joseph ---

I still don’t have one o’ them new-fangled CD players. But on my cassette player as I was getting ready this morning was “The Jimmy Durante Show,” excerpts from his 1940s radio show. He was doing a duet with Sophie Tucker, “I’m As Ready As I’ll Ever Be.” Hotcha-cha! ---

Right at this very moment? I’m listening to the radio. And no one will let me change it to a good station, all we ever listen to around here is top 40…blah. When I get home in about 35 minutes, it will be The Very Best of Elvis Costello. ---
