Remaining of this theme of new music, are any of you familiar with
Allen Toussaint's The Bright Mississippi? I happened to catch
the last fifteen minutes or so of Mr. Toussaint on Austin City Limits
the other night. And his performance was amazing. I will be getting
this release. It's weird how music comes your way sometimes. Was
it just coincidence I heard Toussaint on ACL, and then a day later read
a review out of one of my music publications on "The Bright Mississippi"?
Some music just finds you out.

It's cool when new music finds you...or you find it. I love that. It doesn't happen to me as often anymore, but man, in high school, when I discovered all the amazing things I listen to now...ahhh, nostalgia.
I'm not a major Peter Gabriel follower or anything, but I do love
So. And I am interested to hear what he will do on
Scratch My Back. Apparently, the artists he is covering are supposed to return the favor or something.
ETA: Also, you gotta love stuff like this:
What are our chances of getting Stevie in monkey mime paint, aping the ape, and swinging on a rope? Lindsey can already hop around whilst playing guitar, so we're halfway there.
Peter Gabriel is a fine entertainer. Understands the art of subtle eccentricity and stuff.
