I think we just got spammed about this TB (no spelling - I don't want it coming up in search engines) guy. Four comments in 20 minutes about some dude I've never even heard of, one of which claims they stood in line for two hours to buy a CD that turned out to be sold out? Uh-huh.

"Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau - Quartet" was awesome. Pat always puts out good music. Maurice, dont feel bad bro. I live in Detroit and there is only store you can get it at (for Teddy Brent's CD). Anyhow they were sold out when we got there...spent an hour n the ice and cold exc and exc...

The Rush CD was disapointing. I have been their long term fan, but it was worth the purchase. My girlfriend is all ga-ga about Teddy Brent and his CD so she wants me to purchase that too next week...im gonna be poor due to music purchases -poor but happy music lovr

Man, I've got to check out that Prezens thing. It is on too many lists to not give it a chance.

They're on this version of the "Don't Stop Now" single. The songs are "Stare Me Out" and "Lost Island" - both are good enough to have been on the album. I think they made a mistake not putting them on and just making an epic out of this album - they fit perfectly. To make the vinyl tracklisting, this is the order: Disc One 1. Nobody Wants To 2. Don't Stop Now 3. She Called Up 4. Say That Again 5. Pour Le Monde 6. Even A Child 7. Heaven That I'm Making 8. Stare Me Out* 9. A Sigh 10. Silent House 11. English Trees 12. Lost Island* 13. Walked Her Way Down 14. Transit Lounge 15. You Are The One To Make Me Cry 16. People Are Like Suns There's also a single out for "She Called Up" with another non-album track, "So Dramatic," but I haven't heard it yet (just placed my order, in fact.)

I thought the Crowded House was good as it was, so I'm curious to hear those b sides you mentioned - where could I find them? Silent House - an allusion to Paul Hester, I'd guess. A sad, yet beautiful song.

Glen: what, this isn't brief enough? ;-) Pico: this has been sitting in my queue on my site for well over a month. I've been adding bits to it as they came to me. It's literally been slaved-over. I try to just write and publish - the queue is a black hole. Many things disappear into my queue, but not so many survive. This one is lucky.

Good job, TJ, it looks like a well-thought out list and you stated your case well. And not just because 4 or 5 of those albums are on my list, too ;&) Hope we get to see your handiwork more again before too long.
