Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

Dave, I considered Pink Moon and Summerteeth for my list as well. And Sea Change, good album, but sometimes it's too mellow and sad for my current mood. |

I'm with you on the sad part. However, the sound of Sea Change is so great. If you like this one, try the Gainsbourg record. That's where Beck's string arrangements come from. |

Off the top of my head, and since it looks like we're leaving out classical (that would take another list!); John Hiatt - Bring the Family Paul Simon - Graceland Great Big Sea - Up Dire Straits - first one Lyle Lovett - Pontiac Holly Cole Trio - Don't Smoke in Bed Lee Morgan - Sidewinder Indigo Girls - title? Oliver Jones - Lights of Burgundy Miles Davis - Kind of Blue |

Excellent choices so far! Based upon the things some of you have listed, it's very easy for me to compile a completely different list of things that I'd be perfectly happy with on a desert isle: 1. Europe 72 - GD 2. A Live One - Phish (did you sneak that in as an 11th one jf?? )3. Live at the Fillmore - Allman Brothers 4. After the Gold Rush - Neil Young 5. Moondance / Astrals Weeks - Van Morrison (both great, but in that order) 6. OK Computer - Radiohead 7. Koln Concert - Keith Jarrett (I just about listed this one myself) 8. Sign 'O' the Times - Prince 9. Revolver - The Beatles 10. Pet Sounds - Beachboys |

Lindy, your list reminded me that I neglected Phish so I added it, but I DID take one out so I think I am still at 10. EDIT: No, I am at 11. So I guess I was at 11 from the start. jf |

Interesting list sue -- do I spot a few Canadians in there? The wife and I spent this past weekend in Niagara Falls (without the kids). Took a quick trip up to Niagara on the Lake -- lovely place. But it's recently gotten much more expensive for us Americans than it used to be. Great Big Sea - Up <-- You like this one better than Road Rage? Oliver Jones - Lights of Burgundy <-- How does this compare to A Class Act? |

Hi Lindy, Road Rage is live, so kind of hard to compare.....I love them both! I keep Road Rage in my car. I don't have A Class Act, (just checked it out, sounds good!) I have a couple others, but I find I keep going back to Lights of Burgundy; could just be that it's because that was the first I'd heard of him, and it's like an old friend. It's a mellow/cheerful kind of album. Sunday afternoon with a glass of wine kind of music. I haven't been to the Niagra area in years (I'm on the west coast), but I can relate to what you're saying. There's lots of beautiful places here that used to be affordable, and are now catering to the wealthy (which is not moi.) |

Speaking of Canadians, American Woman by The Guess Who was one of my all time favorite albums. |

bach, it's a technique associated with vocoding. In the 70's before digital effects pedals, Frampton used a Heil Talkbox for the effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_box. |
