Weekend tunes & paperback

My longtime Canadian correspondent, Eric Lilius of Eagle Lake, Ontario, writes,

Have you heard any of Conor Oberst's material? I took notice when he did "When the President Talks to God" on the Leno show.

Reminds me of young Bob Dylan.

bright_eyes.jpgOberst is, of course, Bright Eyes. Eric sends a link to a live recording of a Jan 29, 2005 performance at the 9.30 Club in Washington D.C. that includes that song -- at BigO, Singapore.

The photo, by AP, is of Oberst playing the Newport Folk Festival last August 7.

More downloads at Saddle Creek, his record label.

Closer to home, reader Bill Marsland writes,

Here’s a blog with the entire “Beatles live at Hollywood Bowl” available for download....(This never made it to CD)

...Didn’t his mother ever teach him not to pick an e-mail or blog name he couldn’t put on a resume!!

Also, Jefitoblog’s weekly “Bootleg City” edition is early, unreleased Bee Gees from 1970. Bee Gees - A Kick in the Head is Worth Eight in the Pants and Robin Gibb - Sing Slowly Sisters. Haven’t listened to them yet so there might be a good reason they were never released. Here is the link:

Thriller of the week: Another good one from last weekend's grocery-store book buy: Term Limits by Vince Flynn.

Given that my wife is from Portsmouth and I'm in Rhode Island several times a year, I always get an extra-special kick out of it when you link to me. Thanks!

I didn't know that -- happy to welcome you as an honorary Rhode Islander. I just wrote about mp3 blogs, and linked to you again. Thanks for making it possible to hear the music.
