Also at this very moment, net downloads, specifically “Uncertain Smile” by the The. Now I’m listening to “When You Say Nothing At All” by Alison Krauss. (I have diverse tastes in music).

Right when I read the thread title, AC/DC’s Gone Shootin’ was just fading out. Now iTunes has shuffled to Breathing by Lifehouse.

_Divinities: Twelve Dances with God_ - it’s either Ian Anderson or Jethro Tull, essentially one and the same but this might be one of his “solo” albums (well, he needs a guitarist and Martin Barre is available. Need a drummer of course, and since Doane is coming in to talk about the next Tull disk, might as well see if he’s doing anything, and hell - Andrew Giddings would be offended if he wasn’t offered keyboards…)

Actually, I think that was _Secret Language of Birds_, but I think Giddings was involved with _Divinities_  
Anyway, Divinities is a great album with some _Crest of a Knave_ undertones peeking through on _In a Stone Circle_

My obsessive rotation centers on **Bowie** ’s _Hunky Dory_, _Real Gone_ by **Tom Waits** , _Music from Big Pink_ by **The Band** and _The Essential Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show_. New stuff: **Edan** ’s _Beauty and the Beat_, _No Home In This World_ by **Brother Machine** , and _Say I Am You_ by **The Weepies**.

I’ve had **Tori Amos** ’s cover of “Time” by **Tom Waits** stuck in my head for quite some time now and I like it there.

Well she said she’d stick around until the bandages came off  
But these mama’s boys just don’t know when to quit  
And Mathilda asks the sailors “Are those dreams or are those prayers?”  
So close your eyes, son, and this won’t hurt a bit

Beautifully odd.

At this very moment:

Acid Bath, “Venus Blue,” from Paegan Terrorism Tactics. One of my favorite songs of all time, in large part thanks to Dax Riggs’s gorgeous vocal delivery. Plus, the refrain is rather memorable…
