Most of it is going to pay for a weekend the family is taking away next month.
But I am going to buy a CD.
TODAY.

IN 30 MINUTES.

GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS of things I can probably find at Best Buy.

The Talking Heads CDs are being reissued/remastered. You could pick up FEAR OF MUSIC or something, or ZZ TOP also has a couple good albums remastered: TRES HOMBES (one of the best albums ever) and FANDANGO. Assuming you haven't heard these before.

I'd recommend my favorite so far from this year:

The new Norman & Nancy Blake (really nice bluegrass guitar with harmony vocals)

or my two favs from last year:

Joe Bataan "Call My Name" (comeback album from a latin soul great)
Archer Prewitt "Wilderness"

The Talking Heads remasters are stunning. And as for ZZ Top, I'm looking forward to picking up Tres Hombres soon, actually, but if it uses the same remastering as on the box, it's going to be very impressive, too.

Todd, since you dig the Kinks, check out Ray Davies' new solo album, Other People's Lives. It's surprisingly good. It convinced me, along with that killer 3-disc Are the Village Green Preservation Society set, that I absolutely need to clear out some deadwood in my collection to make way for lots o' the Kinks.

I'd say the new Willie Nile, Streets of New York, but unfortunately, I doubt you'll find it at BB.

Hey I meant to ask you todd - (back around 1990) did you ever hear the Young Fresh Fellows? Probably, I suppose. But if not, This One's For The Ladies just screams "buy me, PopTodd!" at the top of its lungs. But BB won't have it.

Todd,

Have you ever heard of Shrimp Boat? I think it's something you might dig. Fans of The Sea and Cake will most certainly like it, as it is most similar to that sound, with a full-on soul influence showing through.

Probably their most accessable song is "What Do You Think Of Love?". Here's a YSI:

It's from their last album, Cavale.

Or what about Blue Ruin?

It's the drummer from Nick Cave's old band, The Birthday Party - Phill Halvert. Pretty obscure, I think – they don't even have a single review at AllMusic!

Still, I have a copy of their album Flame and it's pretty cool. Imagine, if you will, a cross between Nick Cave and Jon Spencer (minus the ironic B.S., more just the sound of ther Blues X, at times).

Here is a YSI, if you're interested:
"What a Helluva Woman"

Radcliffe... you funny, funny boy.

So, I had several of your recs in my hands at one point ot another: Talking Heads, Ray Davies, Low.

But then I saw this sitting there, and something told me that I needed it in my collection:

So that is what I got.

Thanks for all your suggestions and I am definitely picking up all those things at some point.

Oh, and as to the Young Fresh Fellows: I still have somewhere, my cassette of Electric Bird Digest. I even saw them once at the Lounge Ax, back around 1992 or so. Yeah, cool band.
