Great White North

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Bob & Doug McKenzie

Release Date September 24, 1996
I had this as a record when I was a kid and I was so happy to find it on CD! It's just as great as I remembered! Their version of the 12 days of Christmas is pretty much how I always sing the song these days!

My Secret Public Journal Live

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Mike Birbiglia

Release Date September 25, 2007
Although one of my more recent finds in Stand-Up, Mike Birbiglia quickly gained a top spot in my favorites list with his first CD "Two-Drink Mike". His new CD doesn't disappoint with another dose of hilariously awkward anecdotes that resonate with the misfit in me and another not-so-subtle "political" analogy. "Deck accomplished!"

I can't wait for his next CD release.

A Gift Of Love: Deepak & Friends Present Music Inspired By The Love Poems Of Rumi

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 25, 1998
Let me start by saying that this is the best album ever.....to get your enemies. They will be dead by the end of the album, guaranteed. In fact, I had to have the Kiss of Life administered by my ugly co-workers multiple times while listening to this travesty while at work.
However, I will say that I listen to this album a lot when I am upset, or angry. It makes me laugh, and instantly lightens my mood. I feel no matter how bleak the outlook, I am not Martin Sheen speaking with a hoarse earnestness that is positively nauseating, nor am I Deepak Chopra stressing my "s"-es and adding the crucial charlatan touch to this inimitable work of genius.

That having been said, the icing on the cake is the track "Come to Me". If you can ... Read More:

A Song For My Daughter

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 01, 1994
I actually found this song on YouTube as the background song to someones wedding dance with their father. I found the words to the song to be just perfect for my daughter's recent wedding. Beautiful song with lyrics that were just right for what I wanted to "say" to my daugher on her wedding day.

I love This American Life. I have season one and I wanted to hear more of this radio show. I use to live in Chicago and moving back by the end of the year-i can't wait to hear them all the time. It's the best radio show around. I really like the stories that go with this CD. This is worth getting!!! Support this show.

Rant in E-Minor

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Bill Hicks

Release Date February 25, 1997
It's hard to describe Bill Hicks' appeal. Towards myself, anyway. It has more to do with his delivery than his material-he loses me, idealistically speaking, with his rants about global fascist conspiracies and capitalist megalomania. Sure, I harbor a certain distrust towards corporate America, but that distrust only goes so far. I certainly don't think that celebrities who appear in advertisements are, erm, performing oral sex on Satan. Bill's material wasn't really all that funny, either. Not in the classic sense of the word. Sure, there were jokes, but they were only a means to an end. They were there to make the darkest implications of his message go down a bit more easily, or to provide a bitterly ironic underpinning for his grim observations. ... Read More:

Metheny / Mehldau

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Pat Metheny, Brad Mehldau

Release Date September 12, 2006
I like Brad Mehldau. I really do. And I kind of like Pat Metheny. But I have never been a big huge fan of jazz guitar, and unfortunatley, that's what Pat plays. So, I tried not to think too hard about what was in store for me. I tried to believe that as a jazz musician, I would be able to learn from this music. I tried to believe that Mehldau would balance out the guitar and I would actually enjoy this CD. I even listened to it more than once (more than twice) to see if maybe I started to "get" it or it grew on me. Unfortunately, the only thing that happened is I discovered where dentists and doctors get their piped in waiting room music. Some people may like this album, but it is definitely not my cup of hot mocha.
