No, it's a great thing. Mahler is it...

Tonight, Smashing Pumpkins, MCIS.

Could Billy be the modern-day Mahler?! Chew on that one...

Well, I'm hooked on Mahler already. My obsession is rearing it's head because I'm getting more recordings of stuff I already have. I'm listening to my new recording of the 3rd right now. I have had the Bernstein recording on DG for a long time and am now listening to the Kubelik performance, and know there are other great ones to hear also. Sigh.

Just caught 10 minutes of Yanni on one of the interminable PBS pledge concerts. Holy crap is he bad.

Listening to the recently released complete Live at Blues Alley recording of Eva Cassidy's legendary set from 1996. Two amazing CDs, 32 song-set.

Sir Douglas Quintet

It's not really "my type" of music, but I wound up listening to quite a bit of '80s Metallica earlier. I've gotta say, they were actually very talented.

Anthrax - For All Kings.

I’m listening to John Prine’s first album and can’t believe that (like Dylan) a 24-yr old kid wrote and sings this stuff! Amazing. What also mystifies me, a little, is how a kid from Maywood, IL (a Chicago suburb) sounds like a road weary veteran of old dusty southern back roads. Kris Kristofferson gets credit for “discovering” him, but it was actually another Chicago boy, the late great Steve Goodman.

Leonard Bernstein giving an introduction to Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde. There is some amazing stuff available on YouTube.

I think he's on his third cigarette now....
