I've told this story before, but in 1993 I was working for DHL and one day I had a delivery for Todd Rundgren. A young (as yet unknown) 16ish y.o., beautiful girl answered the door. When I told her that I had an envelope for Todd, she said that she was his daughter and would give it to him. She was very pleasant and I told her how much I loved her Father's music. We chatted for a minute or two, then I carried on with my route.

A year or two later, when I was back in Anchorage, I was watching music videos on TV. An Aerosmith video came on, with Alicia Silverstone and the young girl I'd had the conversation with. Shortly after that I found out that this beautiful girl wasn't Liv Rundgren, but actually Liv Tyler.

Maya Rudolph's Mother had one of the widest octave ranges. I remember riding in the car with my Mom, trying to hit that note. I couldn't of course, but back then I could give it a pretty good try.

BTW, that's her Father, Richard Rudolph playing acoustic guitar in the video.

It's hard to get excited hearing Hallelujah on this album after hearing her live performance here. It's my favorite version of Cohen's brilliant song.

A little avantgarde for my daily tastes - but good:

 

 

Not sure what your threshold is, but if you like your prog borderline avant, I highly recommend Wax People (recent EP release) and All Traps on Earth (several year old album -- kinda Zeuhl, vaguely jazzy (in the same way that A Passion Play is vaguely jazzy), mostly instrumental symphonic prog, very great).

Me:

Songs from the Cool World

The first CD I ever listened to... a lucky and somewhat random library loan, it was particularly eclectic and amazingly it's even more awesome now than I thought back in 1992 (I thought it was overly-simple, repetitive, and varied too much in quality back then... too slight for its playing time). How tastes change. And despite my less-than-astute assessment of the music's merits, I borrowed it again several times over the years, eventually graduating from my dad's stereo, to the family's CD boombox, then my own portable CD player.

I didn't know much about the soundtrack artists or their back catalog because the internet as we know it didn't exist yet. Yes, I watched Cool World in the theater.

A life-changing album. I ended up getting all of the Thrill Kill Kult albums (even the bad ones) and oddly, I didn't pick up this CD for myself until a few years ago. Sex on wheelz indeed...

Two years later, the Kult featured again on a hit soundtrack... you might remember... for The Crow.

I'm going to play a series of music videos, simply because each video has somebody in it that I was crushing on back then.

The keyboardist.

Either Brother. Preferably both.
