For some reason I thought he was on the east coast, in Alicante or Valencia, but Puerto de Santa Maria is a lovely town in the province of Cadiz in Andalucia. Osborne have their bodega there. I have very vivid memories of spending a day there visiting an scondary school in a beautiful old building and having lunch in one of the delicious fish eateries. It's very mellow, very sunny and everyone's drinking fino, the lovely dry sherry, which is one of my favourite drinks. Bougainvillea (if that's how you spell it). I wonder why he went there.

Hang on, he just recorded the record there, he is in Altea, nr Valencia:

Takes a while to grow but in the end it's come out as an album I really like.

Chrille, I don't know if anyone has mentioned it somewhere else, but I dig your little movie of Cary Grant going gay all of a sudden.

So sue me, I love this record. Especially good when I'm drivin'...

Why, you want a copy??

Burn one for me too, that's a funny record.

Glad you think so-- it cracks me up and makes me shake my ass both. You have to hate Fergie but her singing's right in my (quite narrow) range, so it's a great sing-along in the car.

I would not screw Fergie if she paid me... oh, $1000. Sarah Ferguson, that is.

Goody: He's anything but gay in that particular scene, but it looks like it out of context.

Goody2Shoes · Post by **Goody2Shoes** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 10:00 pm

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought that scene was when he was trying to explain to Aunt Elizabeth why he was wearing those clothes, and she doesn't understand, so he gives up and says "I just went gay all of a sudden!" I must be confused! Again! It happens.

Ah! I thought you hadn't seen it. That you thought he jumped out of joy.

Lately I've been enjoying something newish -

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EG ... coding=UTF
8

Hardest Walk
Soledad Brothers

......and something grabbed from my shelves that I'd forgotten about -

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004 ... nce&n=5174

Low to the Ground
The Waxwings

Original Release Date: May 16, 2000

The former has some great guitar rock , with a truly splendid 'hidden track at the end , consisting of about ten minutes of guitars 'n drums jamming all over the place. The latter has a load of gorgeous harmony singing , compensating for some rather ordinary drum sounds. I see they've had a follow up album , available depressingly cheaply on Amazon.....so I ordered a copy.

"Monkey To Man" again and again and again. Can't get enough of that hot Farragher on primate action.

Rediscovering the genius of Charles Thompson, aka Frank Black aka Black Francis. New one out in June, another with the Nashville session dudes a la Honeycomb.

Second listen, I can tell I will grow to love this album. I have not heard anything besides one of their other albums, Keep It Like A Secret, which I also love.

guidedbyvoices, you asked me to tell you how this new album is, it's a bit too soon to tell I guess, but so far it seems very promising.

Chrille · Post by **Chrille** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 4:49 pm

Conventional Wisdom from Built To Spills new album You In Reverse. If this song isn't a direct tribute to early Genesis I will go to the town square and pull down my pants for a minute.

Sounds of Silence?

John Cage's 2'37 or whatever it's called?

I'm playing Josh Rouse's Subtitulo which I've kinda got as a late present for a friend with it taking a quick detour via my iTunes. Very nice. Mellowed out Southern Spain vein, no bad thing. His songs and voice are sounding very like Paul Simon at times. Not sure it's the equal of Nashville, but it sounds like, as Bad Amb said, it has melodies that will stick in the head after a few plays.
