Just checking in...

    One of the things I always click on when surfing the CDNow site is the
top 20 lists compiled by others.  I saw Captain Soul being touted and
wondered if anyone has opinions of them.  I understand that they are
contributing to the Teenage Fanclub tribute.

    Next, I wonder about the Pillbugs.  I received via trade a 2-disc set of
material by them (loved it!).  I have heard that they have 4 cdrs of
material available on their website.  I think I detect some mp3
conversion/distortion on my collection.  What official releases has the band
had and what lurks on those other 2 cdrs?

    About rating the bands...I've found that the mood I'm in while listening
to the disc really affects my judgment.  On first listen, I couldn't
understand the raves about The Bigger Lovers "Honey in the Hive".  I gave it
a listen a month later and found it to be wonderful.

Wierd news about Phil Spector and the murder arrest, huh?
