Inimitable, And Also Possibly Mad*

Joyce, James - Ulysses - Soliloquies of Molly and Leopold Bloom read by Siohan McKenna and E.G. Marshall

In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

Just sit back and let it flow over you.

Mountaineers, Drinkers, Skillet Lickers, Ramblers, and Their Families

This is some classic, hardcore old-timey music. We've got mountaineers, drinkers, skillet lickers, ramblers, and a bushel-full of families. Comes with voluminous educational liner notes, as well.

I really dig "Carve That Possum", which is weird because I'm a really picky eater.

In The Beginning Was The Wah

Here's the debut performance from a band that existed from 1991-1993.
It's a little rough in spots, as the band fully coalesced about a month before this gig.
AFAIK this is the only show that Rick Tipton (keys/guitar) played with the band. (he's also not in the photo - David King is - but David's not in the video. Clear?) (Neither in the picture or the video is guitarist Scott Carpenter, who played several shows and did some recording with the band in 92/93.)
This recording marks the only appearance of the "Sgt Pepper" opener and the "Girlfriend Calling" cover.

Mercury Rising

 Mercury shows off their big band, classical and jazz recordings with this extensive two-disc sampler (though some of it is just MOR pop). Give them credit - Mercury had some of the best-sounding recordings of the era.

It's About Timey-Wimey for a New Post

The main draw here for me, of course, is the early Dr Who theme (with a side helping of Monty Python).

This has come out on CD with many fewer tracks.
