i've been terrified to post to this forum because i'm a geezer out-of-the-loop asshat ... I'm so old that all the music i own is still in a tangible format -- I can touch it and hold it and see it. I own 78s and a couple of 45s, for christs sake. (e-mail me off-list and I'll explain what those are.)

 

(Well, okay, I do have Prince "One of Us" and Manu Chau "Me Gustas Tu" as .mp3s)

 

but then i saw that somebody here was listening to Neil Diamond ... so I'm not so terrified.

 

"Entre Humo y Botellas" ("Between the Smoke and the Bottles") by Flaco Jimenez. I know you won't believe this ... but Flaco ("Skinny") will convince you that the accordian can be cool and beautiful. I certainly never believed that was possible.

the decemberists - california one youth and beauty brigade

you got the name wrong but they're still an amazing and underrated band.

 

 

The Stills Logic Will Break Your Heart "Animals and Insects"

oh... i didn't know. thats what my mp3 of the song is called.

oh come on, a band like the Decemberists? buy the CD. they could use it, especially after the shit they went through a few months back, where ALL of their equiptment was stolen. Trust me, all of their cd's are great.

 

 

POD - Alive

I've been desperately fighting Being Myself all my life. Every time I've Just Been Myself, I've gotten into So Much Trouble.

 

Oh, another Unbelievable Miracle of the Accordian: All the Nuevo Tango music of Astor Piazzola. (Actually that squeezebox he plays is the Argentine Bandoneon.) You don't even have to shoplift his stuff, here's a bunch of Real Audio stuff: http://www.piazzolla.org/sounds/index.html
