The Current Records Spinning In My Various Devices..

1) John Hiatt - "Anthology" - The second best anthology I own, (next to "Just Another Band From East L.A. by Los Lobos). The closest thing to a box set by this true classic in american music.



2) A Perfect Circle - "Mer De Noms" - A good rock record by the Pumpkins former guitar tech, Billy Howerdel and Tool's lead singer Maynard James Keenan.



3) Duke Ellington - "Masterpieces by Ellington" - I just recently discovered Duke Ellingtons music thanks to the Ken Burns "Jazz" series on PBS. (If you want proof that public television is still relevant, look no further than this series).



4) At The Drive In - "Relationship Of Command" - A great rock record, whatever you want to categorize them in. They no longer exist, but two of the members went on to form The Mars Volta. Check out their new album, "Frances The Mute".



5) Grace - "The Legacy Edition" - See previous post.
