Current Play List - April 2007
Still on a bit of a world music kick. Kept some of the bhangra in play, with a good dose of Irish to boot! The newest addition was Ghanaian "high life"!

Highlife
A friend of mine in college was from Ghana and I had already got a strong love for ska, reggae, and calypso music. So when she introduced me to highlife, I was hooked. Electric Highlife is a great CD (again, courtesy of the Public Library!) although I can't really vouch for how good or bad these tracks are in the greater highlife universe! They were recorded in the mid-1980s and so the sound may be much different now. I really liked the Black Beats Tsutsu Tsosemo and Jealousy by the Beach Scorpions.
Soundtracks & Barbershop
I am not a big soundtrack fan although there are a couple I really
enjoy. I've been listening to the
Matrix and
Matrix Reloaded soundtracks, which make excellent commuting
music! I've also had
Meredith Willson's Music Man on at home since the kids saw it at
the local high school.
Which led me to check out a couple of barbershop
discs - not the film Barbershop! They were fine but didn't seem
to have the same zing as the Buffalo
Bills did in the Music Man! I tried out
Coney Island Baby and
Sweet Georgia Brown, both with the top 20 barbershop quartets of
their particular year. If you enjoy a cappella singing,
you'll enjoy either of these disks. And it's a great way to learn
some older songs, like Wait 'til the Sun Shines, Nellie, which
the kids love!
