While I cannot imagine that anyone actually had that much Thin Lizzy on hand, I am certainly impressed that you do. I think I saw the end of their show once - when they opened for Queen.
 
Not listening to anything at the moment, but am half singing and half humming Al Wilson's Show and Tell to myself as I browse the MOA web site.
 
been on an on and off steely dan vibe for the last few months

i think this is the album they hate cause someone layered the recording with an early dbx hiss reduction. you can actually hear it on some of the drum tracks, its no wonder a duo with ears like those guys can't stand it.
 
If I remember correctly, I bought their first 3 or 4 albums back in the early and mid 70's. Liked their sound then and still do. Their music has never gone out of style for me.
 
Is it just me, or has there been a renaissance of John Prine music lately. Seems I've heard a few covers that sounded familiar, and when I dug deeper, they were his tunes. Great Stuff.

Re: Thin Lizzy. Did anyone see the VH-1 show about them a few years ago? Phil Lynott was completely unitelligible, so much so that they had to add subtitles when he spoke. Major Irish brogue (I think Belfast?). It amazed me that I could understand anything that he had sang. Good stuff too.
 
Got to hear John Prine years ago, early 90's, live at the Orpheum Theater in down town Memphis, Tn. Really enjoyabe. He was the warm up for Bonnie Raite. I would go and hear him live again and I have to my regret missed him several times. That was a good session at the Orpheum, both he and Raite did good sets. John Mellencamp was in the audience and he and one of band members came on stage and did a couple songs all unanounced. Excellent. It was a magical music evening. :groovy
 
+1 on John Prine. Always liked Common Sense. (especially the cover art).

Yesterday was the anniversary of the following and Gordon Lightfoot's been playing in my head for the past 24 hours :)

Prine is number one in my book. Listening to a record of his about 12 years ago did one of those magical things in my head where everything made sense. Prine is the real deal.

Fitzgerald and Sundown are top notch songs.

Other than that, I can't get into alot more of Lightfoot's stuff.
 
Genius is fine...

Before I left work I listened to a set including these tracks:

Teenage Fanclub ÔÇô I Don't Want Control of You
Brian Eno ÔÇô Little Fishes
Big Star ÔÇô My Life Is Right
The Zombies ÔÇô I Want Her She Wants Me (nice, underrated song)
The Brian Jonestown Massacre ÔÇô Caress (excellent track, had forgotten about it)
Shout Out Louds ÔÇô There's Nothing
The New Pornographers ÔÇô Ballad of a Comeback Kid (really nice)
Can ÔÇô Paperhouse
The Clientele ÔÇô Spirit
Big Star ÔÇô In The Street
(theme song for recent sitcom)

These tracks were pulled via Genius in iTunes based on E.M.P.T.Y. by the Clientele. I really like how Genius works for the most part. However, if the stuff I want to listen to is based on a 60s or 80s garage track not available at the iTunes Store, forget about it. That's when shuffle works best.

I've thought about iTunes alternatives, but as a Mac user, my choices are limited. Are any other Mac heads out there using Songbird or something else?
