March's CD mixes of the month

My main contribution to this evening's CD Mix of the Month Club for March is Into the Lens, a celebration of the great photography in which so many CDMOM-ers seem to indulge.

I'm feeling some urgency about these terrific little get-togethers, since there are only four left to go before moving day, so I'm sneaking in all the extra mixes I can. This time around the just-because-I'm-leaving-soon bonus mix is Four by Four: Four Letter Words from Four Letter Artists, the second volume of my four-volume "Four Letter Words" series.

There's also great news, in that our CDMOM mom, Lisa, had her baby Sienna yesterday. I feel like we're all aunts and uncles. Congratulations to Lisa and Yves, and to Sienna who will grow up with great parents and lots of good music around.



(The story so far.)

Four Letter Words, Scenes in the Country, Strange Bedfellows (when's the Shunn & Metheny JamminTour '07?), and Dreams of Escape are currently in rotation in our car.

Looooove that "Killing Joke" cover swipe.

Glad the mixes still tickle the fancy and the ear! I keep trying to get to the post office to put your February and March mixes in the mail, but it's hard, so hard. Alas and alack!

That bitch Metheny is too busy canoodling with Brad Mehldau to pay me any attention. Hear that, you guitar-shredding slut?? Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, Stripey. Tickling the old ivory, are you? Well, see if I fret over you one minute longer!

Ahem. Yeah, that Killing Joke is one choice cover. I just wish I'd had a song about photography by the band Killing Joke to stick in there as an in-joke.

Metheny just IM'd me. He says now he's going to ring your doorbell and run. I told him, dude, just sit down and put Beyond the Missouri Sky on the headphones and chill. I think he misses you and just needs another of those big ol' Shunn hugs.

If you like Metheny + Haden...

<deep breath> Okay, I'll call him.

Meantime, you should really find yourself a copy of Metheny Mehldau. Guitar/piano bliss.

I can't even think about it (your leaving, not the lovely new baby.)

Thank you for giving me freebies - I can't wait to listen!

Aw. I'll just try to keep coming back for the mixers, and then you'll never need to know I'm gone.

Hope you enjoy the music!
