MP3 of the week

[moonwise]

I've been doing some CD-box diving in my quest for Stuff to Listen to While Writing, and the Breeders turned up. Forgot what a great album this is. Some of you older farts out there will remember "Cannonball."

The Breeders - Cannonball

The Breeders - I Just Wanna Get Along

Wow, Cannonball! I’d forgotten about that one. Such a simple little riff, but so catchy. Thank you from the bottom of my ears...ewwww, waxy!

Oh yes, and I am an ‘older fart’ as I was reminded today when I was trying to explain to recalcitrant who Laurie Anderson is. Playing her O Superman just didn’t help. Ah, young people today...<mutter><mutter>

*grins* To be honest, I didn't know who Laurie Anderson was either until a friend enlightened me, and that was within the last two years. You're welcome for the MP3!

Yup, I do like Speechless, but Big Science is probably still my favourite. The two albums I know best are Big Science and Mister Heartbreak. I saw her at the Adelaide Festival in 1984 (I think) which was the Home of the Brave tour. She just gave a concert here in Melbourne last Saturday, but unfortunately (prior engagements + sudden family visit + poverty + general disorganization) prevented me from going. Still that’s $55 I can put towards my new hard disk fund. In theory.
