What Are You Listening To?

Agree about Pump it up. One of the great singles IMHO.

Have you tried any of the extensive live Phish catalog, Soulman ??

They're a bit like the Grateful Dead in their eagerness to provide endless live albums. There are four in particular that are interesting, all of them Halloween specials where they cover an entire classic album:

- Live Phish Volume 13. 4-discs including a cover of The Beatles' White Album.

- Live Phish Volume 14. Another 4 discs including their cover of Quadrophenia by The Who.

- Live Phish Volume 15. 4 more discs including a cover of Talking Heads' Remain in Light.

- Live Phish Volume 16. Another 4-discer which includes their cover of Loaded by the Velvet Underground.

It's great to hear a good band tear into music with such enthusiasm, and to pay their respects with the covers.

I have heard about the Live album series that they have done, very akin to the Grateful Dead. As for the cover albums, I'm not sure if I would enjoy them as much.

Just discovered a brand new english singer/songwriter called Sharon Leslie via an ad on Facebook. Her current album 'Arts & Allurements' by her 'Band Of Rain' sounds fantastic from the handful of samples I've heard on her myspace page. Music has a similar feel to that of Gary Numan's industrial stuff (1994 onwards). Particular track called 'The Devil's Debts' is very good. Check it out!
