Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

The most recent Gems podcast, with Tom demolishing Ryan Adams. I'd successfully avoided the guy until now, and am really, really glad.

I just listened to this about a dozen times 4 or 5 weeks ago. I love the lyrics.

Now I am up to Mojo magazine's first of 2 cover discs of the Beatle's "white album". The corresponding Revolver was not so hot. I am just starting this, but I am a little worried.

Different strokes on Ryan Adams. His Cold Roses album is exceptional. I think you could play a similar game with almost any album and any artist, even beloved ones. I can't hear Ted Leo without thinking of Phil Lynott; doesn't disqualify TL for my affection.

I think the key to that segment is the title of it. I would still LOVE to hear Tom spend 5-8 minutes online with the overwhelmingly creepy "music" of Harry Shearer, especially, say, Songs of the Bushmen. Tom's discomfort would be heavenly, I can assure you.

I could never really get into that one for some reason. Arise Therefore is my favorite.

Please forgive me, Samir, but I am listening to Super Furry Animal's Fuzzy Logic, and finding it a tough slog. The best bits sound like Mott the Hoople with an overly-trebly mix. What am I missing?

I'm more a 'Phantom Power' guy myself.  I think I have Fuzzy Logic around here somewhere...

I have switched to one of the lower levels of Tom's personal hell, Tom Waits' Frank's Wild Years

I happen to concur with Tom's opinion on Tom Waits. His music, particularly that run of albums from 1983-1987, is nothing more than warmed over Captain Beefheart, and it's a poor imitation at that.

My first mix of Terry Adams Crazy Trio Live at Skipper's Smokehouse.

I captured about forty (decent quality) minutes of a ninety minute show.

First time I ever tried being a taper/CDer.  Time consuming.

Right this second I am hearing a very playful version of "On The Sunny Side Of The Street".
