Some of their stuff is really out there, but some, like the single
Born Too Slow, is irresistible. Same goes for Cake (favorite single:
Short Skirt, Long Jacket).
When I want rock, I find myself turning more and more often to the White Stripes. The latest album, 'Get Behind Me Satan', is yet another masterpiece. It's rather a departure for Jack and Meg, featuring a much wider range of instrumentation than anything heretofore. A couple of tracks I just can't quit listening to:
I'm Lonely and
Little Ghost.
Lately I've been getting into standards from artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
Stars Fell On Alabama is irresistible, but I also like Ella's
Sweet Georgia Brown and Louis'
A Kiss To Build A Dream On.
In classical, I'm not much on the 12-tone stuff, but I can never get enough Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert (I think I want the 4th movement of the
Trout Quintet, or maybe
The Shepherd On The Rock played at my funeral) or Rachmaninoff, to name a few.
I kinda like some opera, like
La Traviata. Has anyone ever seen the movie version from the mid 80s? Lovely!
