		<title>Mouse and the Traps &#8211; A Public Execution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mouse and the Traps &#8211; A Public Execution All musicians are constantly being influenced by the music they hear.  The boundaries between &#8220;ripoff&#8221; and &#8220;tribute,&#8221; and between &#8220;tribute&#8221; and &#8220;unconscious influence,&#8221; aren&#8217;t very clear, as George Harrison could have attested.  Sometimes it&#8217;s not even obvious who is ripping off whom. Case in point:  You all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lightnin&#8217; Rod &#8211; Sport</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lightnin&#8217; Rod &#8211; Sport Anyone who thinks that rap music hasn&#8217;t grown more musically sophisticated over the years would do well to listen to any contemporary hip-hop track, and then revisit Lightnin&#8217; Rod&#8217;s legendary 1973 album Hustlers&#8217; Convention. I&#8217;m not saying it&#8217;s a bad album; I quite like it.  But this album is to hip-hop [...]]]></description>

		<title>Andre Williams &#8211; The Monkey Speaks His Mind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Andre Williams &#8211; The Monkey Speaks His Mind Here&#8217;s a song by an Alabama bluesman that turns a popular argument against Darwinian evolution on its head and uses it as a starting point for a lesson in the political philosophy of John Locke.  (Sentences like that are the reason I started blogging again.) One common [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neil Young &#8211; Cortez the Killer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Neil Young &#8211; Cortez the Killer Rock music has long been a voice for social change, but socially conscious musicians don&#8217;t usually hire fact checkers.  &#8220;Cortez the Killer,&#8221; Neil Young&#8217;s epic critique of colonialism, demonstrates the downside of this deficiency.  If all you had to go on was this song, you&#8217;d come away with an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. John &#8211; Croker Courtbouillon Those for whom the name &#8220;Dr. John&#8221; is synonymous with New Orleans R&#38;B and funk (for example, his album In the Right Place) would be shocked to listen to his first album, Gris-Gris, released under the name &#8220;Dr. John the Night Tripper.&#8221;  While there are some funky and bluesy elements [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If anyone still reads this thing, you&#8217;re probably thinking, &#8220;Ha!  Just over a week into the new year and he&#8217;s already stopped posting.  I knew it wouldn&#8217;t last.&#8221;  Well, for your information, I moved recently, and have yet to establish internet access at the new house.  My network access has been sporadic at best.  Rest [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Future &#8211; 4jg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Future &#8211; 4jg Before Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh formed The Human League and started writing songs for Swiffer commercials, they were known as The Future, and wrote Kraftwerk-inspired songs that helped usher in the era of synth pop.  One of these early songs was &#8220;4jg,&#8221; an instrumental ode to dystopian science fiction [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Decemberists &#8211; The Wanting Comes in Waves / Repaid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Decemberists &#8211; The Wanting Comes in Waves / Repaid Last September I caught The Decemberists on tour in support of their new album The Hazards of Love. I found it to be easily the best live show I&#8217;d seen in years.  And much of the reason for this is that the show was a [...]]]></description>

At times like this, you feel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gossip &#8211; Love Long Distance The most recognizable thing about the band Gossip is its lead singer Beth Ditto, one of many musicians more famous for the controversy surrounding her than for her actual music.  In Ditto&#8217;s case, the controversy involves her habit of appearing onstage partially nude.  Hardly shocking in this day and age, [...]]]></description>
