I'd like to meet Sarah Jean Mulroney, Albert Schweitzer, Common, Blossom Dearie, the Mayor of Olean, NY, Robbie Williams, and Ktsebios of Alexandria. . . not in that order.But I'd also like to meet you, if it worked out that way.
Anything that sounds like Judi Collins or Al Green or Enoch Light. And Freezepop, Lifestyle, Boy in Static and The Skating Club. And Crooked Fingers and The National.

The Decemberists seem to be on to something that Jeff Magnum used to guard fiercely and I swear that Weird War and Carissa's Wierd are planning a coup. And don't forget that fantastic onslaught of wonderful music from High on Fire, Mastodon, Jesu, Sunn O))), and Isis. That stuff is the future, kids.
