This is on my "to buy" list. I won't find everything when I go to Amoeba, but I'm hoping. Note: I rarely buy things online. No good reason, just one of my peccadillos (read: immediate gratification).

Moby Play

Some of these I want to track down more than others. The Woody Herman "Apple Honey" was a smokin' song I heard on KKJZ. I want the Armstrong because it's one of my favorite songs. Most of the other jazz were recommendations.

What's on your list?

Bonnie Tyler????

Hell, I have no control over myself (or too much). I buy everything the minute it pops into my head. I can't keep a list more than a week.

We had a lot of fun with the Footloose soundtrack at ALX last year. That is where you can get the Bonnie Tyler tune, go for the 15th anniversary edition with the bonus tracks.

Too bad Julius had to cancel on us.

Note to those offended by the playing of Footloose music at a Lindy Exchange: One of the most popular ALX traditions is the Mr. Sinus theater screenings, in 2002 we showed Dirty Dancing, in 2003 it was Footloose, 2004 ?

Let me painstakingly say these are CDs I want to OWN, not DJ from. Having said that, I really like the Bonnie Tyler song.

The entire discussion of good vs. bad music is actually an interesting one, although done to death. I personally draw a distinction between music that is bad and not fun listening to, and music that is bad and yet still entertaining. There are plenty of really bad songs with really catchy melodies in the history of music.

from Mr. Sinus theatre: "You're inside me!"

here's my current list:

Satch and Josh (hopefully there will be two copies at Amoeba for us Julius )
Soular Energy - Ray Brown Trio
Diana Krall - the CD with 'Deed I do on it - [Brent played this in Hawaii and it was pretty smokin']
Charlie Barnet's version of Cherokee
4 Tops - Lost and Found [sweet version of Every Day I have the Blues that Jesse played in Hawaii]
Mary's Idea - Andy Kirk
Big Eight - Jack Teagarden/Pee Wee Russell Rhyhtm Makers
Jazz Me Blues - Jimmy Witherspoon [has "Bad Bad Whiskey" on it]
Anything with Dickie Wells
Glenn Miller - Spirit is Willing
Rex Stewart Story '29 - '45

i want it

I really don't keep a list of what I want to buy; I go to stores or get online and just browse.
