Hello all,

As mostly a lurker on this list, I would very much like to see more 
discussion of good pop music and less focus on list trolls. Anyhoo, back 
to music.  I have to second Brent's post about Chris Stamey's new record, 
_Travels in the South_.  For over(?) a decade he has been involved in 
producing some fine pop music (especially The Mayflies USA).  I think most 
commentators focus on his work with the DBs.  I think that overlooks what 
he has done as a solo artist.  I believe that this new record is great.  I 
especially like "14 Shades of Green," "Kierkegaard" and "Ride." There is a 
similar feel to _It's Alright_ without being derivative.  I would love to 
hear what others think.

Thanks, -Art

I don't recall seeing any discussion on Chris Stamey's new one which was 
released a few months back. Maybe there was and I just missed it. At any 
rate, just wanted to give a hearty recommendation for this album. It's 
available on Emusic if you are a member there. Great stuff, and probably 
one 
of the more enjoyable Stamey releases since "It's Alright", though his 
others have all had their moments. Cheers! Brent
