what's that miles in india disc? is that a miles davis release? a concert?
i haven't seen that one before. can you tell me more about it?

i've seen tom morello/the nightwatch man live two years ago and eventhough
i've always despised ratm, i went to watch his show and i was thoroughly
entertained and impressed. loved his stripped down material and his vibe.
great performer and great material. i'll check this new album out.

keep seeing tv on the radio on all year end lists and i've never heard any
songs by them. been meaning to go onto youtube and listen to some of their
stuff. but perhaps it's better to just get this entire album since it has
made it's way onto so many best off lists. very curious what all the fuss
is about.

lastly, i forgot all about that george clinton album eek listened to the
early release of some tracks on myspace or some place and loved what i was
hearing.

looks like i'll be doing some shopping next week biggrin
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Miles in India is a tribute to the Davis catalog with an emphasis on Indian music in the ON THE CORNER period and alumni from ALL periods. It precipitated a live concert in LA and NY and an HBO live concert will be out in 2009.

I've always dug RATM and just followed up on Morello after Audioslave broke up.

I will admit TVOTR is hard to get into. I forgot to link in a live in-store from AMOBEA records EP that makes 'em more accessible.I'll do that later on tonite.

I have to say that GC record is mediocre. I bought cuz it I'm a completist.

I'm very biased towards "black rock", so anything from Living Colour, Earl Greyhound, Ben Harper, Tom Morello, King's X or TV ON THE RADIO gets my highest recommendation. The Al Green is the only piece of real honest r & b I spent my money on. I already panned the George Clinton above.

I didn't mention Danielia Coton nor Family Stand. They were notable, but they didn't hit the West on my schedule.

You're being mighty kind bro. smile

The one standout on that album is Kim Burrell on Mathematics of Love.
And there's an even better mix of that out there.

When Sly Stone & El DeBarge got "Akorned" with that auto-tune I said, "I'M OUT!!!" disbelief

I like Living Colour alot and I've been meaning to listen to more TV on Radio

How was the Tom Morello album, I tend to enjoy his guitar playing
If you will, so will I
