I was about to reply “Really?” but then I remembered you weren’t very old during their heydey (the thread about your mom and the band thing) and they’ve been under the radar for quite awhile. The Pumpkins bring back some memories, man.
ADA JONES??? Okay, you win the coolest “right now listening” award.
At this very moment: “Bittersweet Symphony”—the 6-minute version.
I also just got the soundtrack for Brokeback Mountain but haven’t gotten to it yet.
That’s a first; I usually win the “who?!” award.
I was listening to Annette Hanshaw during dinner. How does that rate?
Ooooh, do you have her version of “I’ve Got ‘It’, But ‘It’ Don’t Do Me No Good?”
Comfortably Numb a cover by Dar Williams
Now listening to Von by Sigur Ros.
Another Four Tet listener! 
I’m going to have to look up those other bands you mentioned, lissener.
Damn you! Damn your eyes! No.
But I do have “I Faw’ Down an’ Go Boom!”
Annette only went on the box for dinner because, after the Jefferson Airplane and a whole buncha Motown while the duck was roasting, Ukulele Lady said “What the FUCK is it with all this 60’s music?” So I threw on some 20’s music.
. . . Another marriage saved by Annette Hanshaw!

And I just got What’s the Story Morning Glory by Oasis, but I haven’t cracked it open yet.
I like their song “Syracuse” even better Lately I’ve been fixated on “'79 AKA The Shouty Track” by Lemon Jelly. I swear that song is hypnotic. Other than that I’ve found myself replaying K artist tracks - Kent, Kenna, Kill Hannah and Kill Radio- and P-R artist tracks - Phoenix, Pillar, Primal Scream, Purrbox, Queens of the Stone Age, Ra, Radford, Razorlight and Recover - on my current mix cd. Over and over again.
I think it’s time to make a new cd.
Andy Iona & His Islanders.
Flores de Alquiler from La 5[sup]a[/sup] Estación. I had to buy it because it has a song on it I cannot stop singing – “El Sol No Regresa”. There are three versions of this song floating about: one from Diana Reyes, one from Beto Terrazas, and the original, which is the one on this album. Diana Reyes’ is good, Beto Terrazas’ is a little too Mexican, and La 5[sup]a[/sup] Estación’s is the best.
Also, I’ve been listening to Llévame Contigo, from Olga Tañón. I’ve recently been starting to explore merengue and salsa a little more, and this might be one of the best merengue albums I’ve ever heard.
Fridge is probly closest to Four Tet in style, but Nobukazu Takemura’s Child’s View–an extremely rare disc but worth tracking down–is near the top of my lifetime top ten albums of all time. (Googling just now, I find it’s even rarer than I thought. I better go make a copy and put it in a safety deposit box.)
Today I drove from Orlando to West Palm Beach (and back tonight!) for a wedding, so in my car I listened to a bunch of Black Box Recorder, the Specials, the English Beat, and the Buffy “Once More With Feeling” soundtrack (twice).
The live band at the wedding was amazingly good for a “wedding band,” a seven-piece group with two saxes, guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, and a female singer. They did everything from competent Duke Ellington standards to Motown to disco to Skynyrd to bossa nova to (feh) Black-Eyed Peas, took all requests without grumbling, and helped make the wedding a classy and fun affair.
