Mixing it up
Thank you to Chris - in a riposte to a copy of the borborygmus 2006 CD, he sent me one in return.
It includes a couple of live recordings from this year's Cambridge Folk Festival - one being Emmylou Harris singing Boulder to Birmingham. For that alone, it's a treasure.
When I foist these CDs into the hands of oft-bemused friends, I have no high hopes that through such evangelism they will fine tune their quite varied musical tastes to my, somewhat superior, ones. But it would be gratifying if they discovered somebody new and went out and bought a record on the back of it. On that basis, I have ordered Roddy Woomble's CD from Amazon.
I still cannot get into critics' darling Joanna Newsom, whose Ys is being raved about. Harp and wailing nu-folk. Igor Stravinsky's Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end is apt.

You know those movie reviews which signpost up front that they're going to ruin your experience of the movie, by saying SPOILER ALERT? Well, here's the same thing if you haven't heard Joanne Newsom yet and were hoping you were going to like her. After reading the next paragraph you'll never be able to take her seriously. Here goes then: SPOILER ALERT...
Marge Simpson.
