Music Overload
I’m overloaded with music.
To my left are six albums that I’ve bought in the last week–including Over The Rhine’s Ohio. I have Eric Clapton’s Me and Mr. Johnson, Till We Have Faces, Good Dog, Bad Dog, Films for Radio, and Ohio from the aforementioned OtR, and hey … it’s Caedmon’s Release Day! Yes, despite the fact that it’s a greatest hits disc, I bought Chronicles from Caedmon’s Cizall. For one, I was at one of the shows where the live cuts were made. For another, there are two new songs—one by Andy O!—as well as stuff about their current recording trips around the third world.
I’m way, way overloaded.
Let us know what you think about the OtR CD’s when you listen to them!
April 6th, 2004 at 14:30I promise that I’ll try to review them.
GFM <– desperately behind on his CD reviewing
April 6th, 2004 at 14:34I hate it when that happens. I inevitably get less out of each CD than I do when I get one new album at a time and really get to savor it.
Off to check out the new Clapton album and dust off my guitar…

I typically have that problem as well. However, I have them all ripped to MP3, and I’ll be giving them all a good listen.
The Clapton album is excellent.
I am also already in love with OtR, and Jeff … I made myself start with Till We Have Faces, which, as I remember, you said: The first CD will seem out of place compared to the last three. Mainly because it will be like listening to kids and then listening to adults. But you will love them.
If these kids grew up, I’m really worried about how obsessed I might become. This could get bad.

Workin’ late, listening to Films for Radio … this is real bad, man.
Crack dealer.
Pimp.
BUDDY! :hug:

Jeff Holland is a dangerous man.
I am going to be obsessed with Over The Rhine. I can feel it in my bones.
Finding out what your friends like, and then deciding if you grok it, too, is what the network is about, people.
I love the network.
April 7th, 2004 at 11:13My OtRification is Complete!
It’s taken me just eight months to be completely sucked into Over The Rhine.
With The Darkest Night of the Year and Patience, I now own every major recording of theirs.
See that nice hook in my cheek? Check the line … it runs to Powder Spring…
