23 November 2009 (Monday)

Monday morning.  Cloudy in Seattle.  Many errands to run around town today.

Cowboy Junkies "Long Journey Home".  I remember people at Peaches Records loving this band back in the late 80's, but I've never been much for the alt-country scene. Played the DVD program because it's longer than the cd.  Let it run in the background (i.e. didn't really watch the video).  I like it when they play swampy, dirty guitar best. Good background music. But I have to admit, Margo's singing doesn't engage me. 

Miles Davis "Big Fun"; I became fascinated with Davis's "On The Corner" album about a year ago for its funkiness and have begun listening to his other albums from that period. Not easy listening, but interesting.
