Aloha: I'm up for sending copies of CDs, not the CDs themselves.  Also, you will get a lot more music if I fill the discs with mp3s, but do youwant that, or just the audio CDs?

And do you want to specify from our lists, or just get surprised?

[AlohaDawg]

I'm so glad to see so much of the artist list I started listed here!

Mighty Mighty Bosstones was one for sure.

I am looking over all the info posted so far, and then I'll be posting a wish list. I'll send a mailing address to each person posting in this forum.

I am not sure about the MP3 issue; I realize I could get a hundred times more songs on a disk and having the songs is important too, but it makes the process harder than selecting a given CD of an artist to copy for me plus I don't have a device to play MP3's on besides the computer (yet).

We (Elinor) and I are getting a huge emotional boost out of your great lists and your generosity! I'll be posting a wish list soon.  Thanks!

Re: Cake - I find it impossible to choose a favourite album. They are all so good, and all have something about them that I dig so much.
I would think in some ways that Fashion Nugget would have to be the one, since Frank Sinatra is a stunning track, as is Daria and Open Book, and it being the first album I got by them about 9 years back, but then Prolonging the Magic (Satan..., Sheep... and Cool Blue Reason... goddamn they're good) and Comfort Eagle both try to top it. Damn.
Cake rule.
I so nearly got to go see them.

Anyway, yes. I'd also add Ministry - Psalm 69 and Nine Inch Nails entire catalogue, minus Deep from the Tomb Raider soundtrack.

[pmcd9]

Damn.
Cake rule.

Does my seeing Cake perform at all make up for missing QOTSA with Mark Lanagen and Dave Grohl?  FWIW they were killer.

Not quite no. Given that I think Cake rule, but that Josh Homme is like the closest thing I can find to a musical god, and the addition of Dave Grohl only goes to add to the oomph (not that he's a musical genius or god, just that he's possible rocks finest drummer).

[wombat]

I am too totally uncool to contribute to these lists - I weep with frustration that there is even a Talking Heads mentioned that I haven't heard of (I thought I was paying attention in those days), on top of whole unrecognizable artists.  But I think I have a few not too boring things I could send, if you send me your address.

[AugustWest]

Wombat, you've pretty much summed up my feelings herein.  I don't know how I could comment without coming across as totally outdated and non-rad.

Also, I think that the Talking Heads album mentioned is a greatest hits, is it not?

[sjlimmer]

Also, I think that the Talking Heads album mentioned is a greatest hits, is it not?

Yeah, it is.   Honestly, I think I meant to say "Stop Making Sense", but oh well.  I forgot a bunch of stuff from my list anyway (Patsy Cline, Simon & Garfunkel, Harry Bellafonte...), so pay no mind.

[wombat]

Oh, August, can we be non-rad together?  Then it would all be OK. Sigh.

I feel better about the Talking Heads now, thanks guys.

I have been meaning to say, the problem with option 1 of the poll is, doesn't the main culprit have no testicles?

Ovaries?

[andalucia]

Ovaries?

Adds some logistical difficulty s'far as string-hanging's concerned.  Hmmm...

[AlohaDawg]

Figurative Testicles.

But, also, the person RESPONSIBLE for the thievery is female but  the thieves were let in/put up by her in our house and several them do, in fact, have testicles.

We could thread some piano wire on a needle, run it back and forth through the nipples a few times and hang 'em up if that will make people satisfied with the punishment.

Also, because of the credit card theft and theft of personal information, we have a temporary mailbox at one of those mailbox places.

For those of you who are wanting to send things now (I have got some e-mails) you can send them to:

Jason Nehal
305 Hahani Street, Box 224
Kailua HI
96734

Any lurkers excited about knowing where I live should understand that this is not where we live and the owners of this shop are very good friends of ours, so any funny business may be met by harsh language and/or gunfire.

I can't say enough about the generosity and good will of you folks.

Thanks.

Edited to add my name to the address. Now you know my name! That feels a little weird but not really. If Google reveals anything interesting, let me know.

[andalucia]

So, wishlist(s) forthcoming, or are you just going to rely on our good taste?

[AlohaDawg]

Wishlists are on their way: the Logical thing seems to be to pick from each of your lists but I'll need to more carefully read through all posts and this weekend we spent deodorising the house and steam cleaning all applicable surfaces. About 6 homeless people (drug addict variant) were crashing up in here, drinkin' all my liquor and ashing wall to wall in accordance with the formerly beige, now kind of grey and beige, carpet). It's nasty.

Savages.

But I WILL be shortly getting to each and all of you with selections.

Thanks again!
