... And Whatever Rhymes With Eloquent!
yesterday i put together a pretty decent Primus mix for Mark. i'm tempted to make copies for others in the ignorant masses. Mark and Kirk can both attest to the brilliance of Les, Ler, and Tim. i'm considering a second edition for Mark as well; there is so much more to share.

hmmmm . . . been thinking of asking you and Marie et al to educate me a little in the music department. I am woefully ignorant it seems. I love finding really cool bands that aren't mainstream but it's a tough thing to do and requires a lot of luck really while downloading (and I find a lot of crap -- moreso than the cool stuff). Would you mind giving me some specifics as to some cool stuff out there?

how many times do i have to say this people...... LIBRARY!! to sit down with someone and decide which artists they should listen too given the music they like would certainly take a long time. go to the library and just check things out. go through the rock section and look for things that look interesting you. if you want to hear something you've heard one of us talk about speak up and we will guide your ears.
sorry, i just don't even know where to start with someone that's "ignorant" musically (i'm fairly ignorant myself, though thats because i see people that are much more knowledgable than i)

sorry, that's all I wanted was a name, a specific song . . . I just get tired and frustrated with the time it takes to find stuff that's really good (which usually means not mainstream) and I know that you have a pretty good storehouse of music knowledge. Wasn't asking for an in-depth run-down on the whole of the music industry or anything. Sorry I asked . . .

in case you care (not sure what you think of spanish stuff) I heard a new group while in Peru (new to me that is) from Spain and downloaded a few of their songs and really enjoy them. The name is Jarabe de Palo and they're kinda bluesy rockish maybe? I like them anyway.
