    Keiko Takeda and Ed RosenBerg ~ Shikisokuzeko (2008) Tenor Sax ~ Ed RosenBerg Piano and Percussion ~ Keiko Takeda Quickly becoming a favorite New Age album. Well, not that quickly... it's rather slow and spaced out. There's enough air and space between the notes to fill an Air and Space...

    Sparrow ~ Sparrow (2003) I have not listened to this in about 10 years. While the piano-pop melodies are pleasant, the sound is thin and does not justify further listening. I am shipping it away.

    Creepy Songs and Lyrics

    I suppose it was the photo that Matt Gaetz took of his fiancee sleeping beside him that was the kernel of the idea for this thread, although it was also the recollection of certain songs with creepy or questionable lyrics, and their accompanying videos. In any event, have fun with the concept...

    Songs About Change ....or of Being Stuck

    I happen to think we are in a great awakening. I cannot say for sure, but I can say I surely do hope we are. In the midst of that, post any songs that come to mind that involve change, or wanting to change but not being able to effect it. My first takes:

    Music Reviews

Not about any specific pieces or performances, but rather wackass, bizarre, or in some way unusual (including toxic, but let's keep it mostly non-political) reviews or articles about music.

    The MG Album Club - #48: David Qualey - Soliloquy

    David Qualey ~ Soliloquy (1980) In a year that Barbra proclaimed herself Guilty (an opinion that I happened to share) and, as well, that gave us not one but two Teena Marie albums, you might think it hard (or easy) for me to declare a clear winner. Last weekend, I wrote out a list containing...
