Yeah, Safe As Milk is prolly the best place to start for him. <BR/><BR/>Some time, I'll have to show you a dance I made up for the fourth track of Safe, "Dropout Boogie".

I took a chance and showed it ...I love Eraserhead. I took a chance and showed it to my youngest, and she loved it as well. Go figure. It's a deliberately difficult film to watch, but it has some hilarious moments. It does make an odd counterpoint to Amelie, though, doesn't it?<BR/><BR/>Johnny, we have that collection, it's a favorite as well. I think my favorites on there are East Texas Red and I Ain't Got No Home.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747874295331152779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27540291.post-49776582543834724592007-04-06T13:39:00.000-04:002007-04-06T13:39:00.000-04:00Great list-- your kids have great musical taste as...Great list-- your kids have great musical taste as well!<BR/><BR/>Have you ever heard the "A Vision Shared" album-- it's a bunch of people doing Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie tunes. Springsteen's version of "I Ain't Got No Home In this World Anymore" can bring tears to my eyes. John Mellencamp's take on "Do-Ra-Mi" is great. And Dylan's version of Pretty Boy Floyd alone is worth buying the record. <BR/><BR/>That reminds me, I've got to go to www.half.com and get a cd-- I've still got the record in vinyl.<BR/><BR/>And BTW, Barbara, I completely agree with you on Eraserhead. It's just an exercise in the groteseque.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27540291.post-10495400911744388082007-04-06T12:44:00.000-04:002007-04-06T12:44:00.000-04:00Your youngest confuses me, Bubs.

She obviously has very individual tastes and that is so admirable.<BR/><BR/> But I just cannot put the combination of Amelie and Eraserhead together in my mind. Amelie is such a sweet and joyous film and Eraserhead is completely unwatchable. I still get the vapours when I think of it (enraged David Lynch fans may contact me directly).Barbara Bruederlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476249934930666695noreply@blogger.com
