Thought this list got bumped off or something. Rob, You don't have to think you are the old one here - --- at 52 I have you beat by a longshot. Great to hear from some of the regulars still out there and definitely like to get the music recommendations ............. John Mayers "Continuum" and KT Tundstall "Eye Of The Telescope" are both awesome. Have been listening to Jewels' "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland" and am liking it. Saw some awesome concerts this summer.... Most notably would be........ Fiona Apple..........Trey Anastasio..........and because, afterall, I am an old fart.......... Crosby,Stills ,Nash, and Young.......... and just last week Roger Waters (aka; the other Pink Floyd) ----->AWESOME !!! O.K. gang ...........Later, -----Rick----- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 01 Oct 2006 17:41:13 -0400 From: "Julian C.

When I first got it in the mail I was playing it about 3 times a day but I've backed off a little bit... "Girls Are Murder" is a fantastic song but I don't want to overdo it. I'm listening to PVT for the second time now and I like the new interpretations, but I also can't see myself listening to it that often. All the songs are really mellow now and I wonder if that's a deliberate effort on the part of Emm to counteract the glossy sheen of the original versions? - - Julian - -- [ Julian C.

Unfortunately, Exclaim's website is a disaster and I can't find it on there anywhere. If anyone can find it, post a link here! - - Julian - -- [ Julian C.
