I never warmed to Elliott Smith, but I've always liked Hayden pretty well. The wonderful video for "Bad As They Seem" was a big part of this, I must say. And holy cow, you can view it at . Cool!

Well, Dairyland ate my link, so I put in the "URL" field for this comment.

I love Haydn's cello concerti.

I have a couple of Hayden tracks on my ipod - I downloaded them because of a recommendation from salon's Wednesday Morning Download column by Thomas Bartlett (I only have about a 20% hit rate with this column, but all his links are for free downloads, so it's worth it). I like Robbed Blind alright. Does anyone else read that column in Salon?

BP, I used to like that column when I subbed to Salon, but have had a higher success rate with sites like Tofu Hut, Mystical Beast, and Fluxblog.

I can't remember if I've recommended Kevin Tihista to you (Elliot Smith sounding guy). His new album Wake Up Captain is wonderful...there should be samples over at Parasol.com.

Paula, did you notice that Hayden is playing at the Knitting Factory on Monday night?

I like Hayden okay...but his voice always sounds as if it's recorded at the wrong speed - kinda like the dope from Crash Test Dummies...who are, uh, also Canadian, aren't they. Re the chimps: I guess that scotches Bush's plan to visit the zoo then. 'Sokay, chimps aren't a swing state - they just swing. Thank you, I'll be here all week. Back to music: I've never really warmed to that Tihista's Red Terror record. Oh well.

Tihista: I bought his first album and didn't like it much...is the new one significantly different?
BP, he is also playing at South Paw, even more conveniently!

He's playing at Southpaw Tues night, but I have a rehearsal that night.
Hayden does mumble. A lot of the singers I download on the recommendation of Wednesday Morning Download affect this mumbly, stoner, sing-songy thing. "I'm not really singing, I'm too cool to actually 'sing.' This affectation is meant to alert you that I don't take myself too seriously." Is this one of those things the kids do? Or am I becoming an old fart? Or both?

I can't comment on the mumbly thing, but I will tell you that Hayden's last 2 records are quite melodic--he may not croon, but he understands that melody is important.

Kevin's new album is better produced and branches out some in the direction of Nillson *but* if you didn't like his first album I doubt the new one would change your mind.
