Sorry, but "Willow Weep and Moan For Me" is not well-named. At the very least, the moaning is overkill.
CDs are made of plastic and aluminum.
If you took out "and Moan" you'd have "Willow Weep for Me", which already exists. I don't deny that both titles are over the top, but they're over the top in a pleasing fashion.
Your mom's over the top in a pleasing fashion.
I should have known you'd one-up me on willow-titled songs. This is why I never comment on your music threads.
Nina Simone's "Willow Weep for Me" is great. I just saw The Player the other day, Lyle Lovett is awesome in that.
Do you play it on your NinuFuju HappyListen?
I played them on my iAudio, back before it broke, and on audacious.
It turns out that even conformity-enforcing macheads can be funny. I used to rip CDs to ogg, until I thought, "what the hell am I doing?" I still feel warmly and fuzzily about the format, for obvious reasons.
Ogg has integrity. Unlike Ogged.

Ogg Vorbis is the Betamax of lossy audio compression. Curiously, Unf is the betamax of unfogged.

You're not cranky enough. Although I'll grant that this place is what liberal communitarianism would look like.

You say "conformity," I say "quality." Come join me in my sleek, functional, industrially-designed fascist paradise.
Leni! LENI! The icons, they are high-resolution!
High Resolution is the goal of the previous cycle of the dialectic. Soon, Resolution Independence will be ours.
You are one weird-ass fascist, sir.
Seriously. An irresolute fascist?!
The Resolution will not be televised.
How weird, a w-lfs-n music post referencing people whose work I know and like. I really do love "This Heat". And equally weirdly, I think you're precisely right about Joe Henry. I always think that in some alternate continuum the post-revolutionary fair-trade marxist clothing-depot version of Banana Republic plays Joe Henry albums.
"Richard Pryor addresses a tearful nation" is fantastic. And I like "Light Up the Room" even though I know I shouldn't.
Well, is it going to go unplayed forever?
I did recently get an album that includes tabla, Ned Rothenberg's Inner Diaspora. But I don't think it's very good. Jan Garbarek & Usted Fateh Ali Khan's Ragas and Sagas has tabla, but I haven't been moved to play anything from it. It's a little too ECM even for me.
re: 29
Zakir Hussein's Making Music is a good tabla based album. Also has Hariprasad Chaurasia, McLaughlin and Garbarek. Maybe a bit ECM, too. Although I like it, and I'm not a huge fan of the ECM sound.
Garbarek's early stuff (Afric Pepperbird, Dis, Places, Eventyr) is great, but he seems to have blandified.,
One of these days I'll just put on "What Need Have I for This—What Need Have I for That—I Am Dancing at the Feet of My Lord—All is Bliss—All is Bliss" from some Shakti record or other and call it a day. (As you can perhaps tell from the fact that everything to which I've referred involves the white man, I don't actually have a wide base of tabla experience.)
