1 C Dirty Projectors 2 Tbsp TV On The Radio 2/3 C Ladysmith Black Mambazo Zest of Regina Spektor Combine ingredients in mixing bowl. Beat furiously, until frothy and rich. Voila: Tune-Yards! Apologies for resorting to the music critics crutch, the “this-band-sounds-like-these-bands” technique. It’s a lame way of describing a sound, and it’s nearly impossible to encapsulate...
WORLD music doesn’t come more respected than the work of Ladysmith Black Mambazo – South Africa’s platinum-selling, Grammy-winning choral group, who swept to fame outside their home country in 1986 when Paul Simon featured them on his Graceland LP.
Oh man, what a picture. No, it's not just the fact that Paul Simon has aged. All the musical heroes of my youth look like old lesbians these days; and really, standing next to Nancy Pelosi probably makes any one look younger.

I think it was the chaps on the Classic Rock Progcast that first brought Crippled Black Pheonix to my attention. I was pleased to discover that some of the work was available for download from eMusic and so I acquired 200 Tons of Bad Luck . This is a great album. I would describe it as progressive rock but other descriptions I've seen include ambient and post-rock. Probably my favourite track is 444...
When Phish posted 99 possible albums on Phish.com - of which one would ultimately be chosen as the Halloween Costume set - it seemed they nailed all the usual suspects and some no-so-usual ones as well. A closer look at the proposed records shows they may have missed a few. While those listed below would by no means guarantee a selection had they been included, it was a bit surprising and sad to see...
