Missy Elliott, "Miss E...So Addictive" - Nothing >comes close to "Get Ur Freak On" on the record, but >neither did any other song this year.

Sneeze - Lost the Spirit to Rock'n'Roll What more can I say than hilariously clever and catchy. Evan Dando - Live at the Brattle Theatre/Griffith Sunsets The live show in Melbourne was great. Evan is still great.He also does a ripper version of '13'. Mary Lou Lord - Live City Sounds You all know this album is good or you wouldn't be reading this! Blake Babies - God Bless the Blake Babies Some people think they've gone a bit sentimental and soft, but I love them and this CD was worth the wait even if just for 'Brain Damage'. Ryan Adams - Gold It took me a lot of listens to let the tracks grow on me, but I am now convinced that this album is a corker! Live show here on 26/1 and I can't wait. Ron Sexsmith - Blue Boy Steve Earl has done a great job with the production and Ron has written the saddest and the most joyous songs again on this album. Live show was brilliant. Great band. Great songs. Great album. Wings - Wingspan Aah childhood memories. Love it. The following 2 may have been from 2000, but they toured the albums here in 2001 and I saw the shows which were absolutely amazing. Both totally different, but both musically spectacular. Emmy Lou Harris - Red Dirt Girl J Mascis & the Fog - More Light Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com ------------------------------ End of jinglejangle-digest V5 #3 ********************************
