Videotapes go out today. How about some CDs? How about some CDs from the "S" section? Links to Allmusic album entry, or artist's web site.

• Ken Stringfellow Soft Commands. You know, from the Posies. dougo
  
• Sorten Muld III. Danish folk ballads, with electronic beats. rutemple
  
• Sing-Sing The Joy of Sing-Sing. Indie pop. dougo
  
• Stereolab Aluminum Tunes. Two CDs of so-called rarities. Includes "One Note Samba". dougo
  
• Stereolab Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night. Like Dots and Loops with saxophones. morganita
  
• Son, Ambulance Euphemystic. "Screams 'average!'" -- All Music Guide. Melissa
  
• Squeeze Singles - 45's and Under. Their greatest hits as of 1982. No "Hourglass", which was my favorite. artname
  
• Sugar Copper Blue. I loved that song "If I Can't Change Your Mind". morganita
  
• Shudder to Think Pony Express Record. I really liked their soundtrack work, and Nathan Larson's solo album. dougo
  
• Scatterbrain Here Comes Trouble. One of those rap-metal-funk-everything bands that people I knew liked in college. No one should go to their grave without at least once hearing "Down With The Ship", their pastiche of every rock lick available.
  
• The Sheila Divine New Parade. Don't remember it, people tell me they're good.
  
• Bruce Springsteen The Ghost of Tom Joad. Quiet and political. artname

• Semisonic All About Chemistry. Kate
  
• Jane Siberry When I Was a Boy. Melissa
  
• Saint Etienne Foxbase Alpha. dougo
  
• The Smithereens Blown to Smithereens. Greatest hits. They sure had some great ones. This has the same title as the disc in All Music, but fewer tracks. Stupid record companies. artname
  
• Seal "Killer". CD single, with live versions of "Hey Joe" and other songs, and remixes.
  
• Hamish Stuart Sooner or Later. From the Average White Band.
  
• Soul Whirling Somewhere Hope Was. Depressing.
  
• Spiritualized Royal Albert Hall October 10 1997. Double CD, live. bushmiller
  
• The Smiths Meat is Murder. I am the son and heir. morganita
  
• Sade Lovers Rock. They sure do, ha ha ha. Dave S.
  
• Sweetback Sweetback. Sade's band, without Sade. Features Amel Larrieux, Maxwell, others. Dave S.
  
• Sparklehorse It's a Wonderful Life. I liked that Flaming Lips record, so I bought everything by people with similar voices and production. Russell
  
• Sting The Dream of the Blue Turtles. Really? I'm ditching this? Kate (at least it's staying in the family)
  

The jazz section:

• David Sanchez Street Scenes. Tenor sax. Some Latin, some bop. tombking
  
• Wayne Shorter Alegría. With Danilo Perez, Brian Blade, Brad Mehldau, others. tombking

• Jennie Stearns Sing Desire. Folkish. Featuring and married to Rich Stearns of the Horseflies.
  
• Claudia Schmidt Wings of Wonder. Formerly Minnesotan singer-songwriter. rutemple
  
• Cory Sipper Orbiter. I think she opened for someone at the Freight and Salvage.

• Terri Stilwell One True Thing.
  
• Stormy Heaven s/t. Sharon Bousquet's old band.
  

Sometimes I buy classical music.

• Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg Humoresque. Based on the film of the same name.
  

Again, free if I kind of know you or you really want it. This offer is not limited to LiveJournal users; mail me if you'd rather not leave a comment here.

I should maybe mention that the fact that I'm giving a CD away doesn't mean I don't like it. Some of these are duplicates, or, well, this album is good, but I have a better one from the same band, so why would I ever listen to this one? A few of them are probably scratched--if you get one that doesn't play, I'll refund your money.

Because hey, free CDs! I'm interested in Stringfellow, Sing Sing, Stereolab (Aluminum Tunes, I think I have the other one), Shudder to Think, Saint Etienne, and Sparklehorse. I can PayPal you for postage or whatever.

[jfb.livejournal.com]

Sparklehorse is going to a local friend, but the rest are yours. Don't worry about postage, we'll talk after I've done a few more rounds.

[michaelpop.livejournal.com]

Oh that list. I just want to break it down and talk about it for days.

Squeeze: Do you know how hard it is to find their pre-1982 records on CD? I think impossible.

The Sheila Divine: Kind of the poor-man's Jimmy Eat World. Big in Boston. Broke up recently, though.

Semisonic: Where are they now? Seriously.

Saint Etienne: I'm not sure your reasons on giving this one up, but they've got a best-of out now that's really, really good. Truly, their greatest hits, all on one cd. For one low price, even.

Too bad I can't take advantage of your generosity here because I already own everything I'd be interested in. Which makes sense, no?

[jfb.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure Saint Etienne was one of those that sounded promising in the store, but just never really grabbed me. I think I liked some other album of theirs better, but it was on loan from a friend.

The drummer from Semisonic wrote that book that people seemed to like last fall.

And this list? This list is only the beginning, my friend.

Sheila Divine

[chrismwage.livejournal.com]

Sheila divine is that band from Boston that tari and doug and I saw and that I kinda got to know the drummer for and did a webpage for them. (I love archive.org)

FYI

[marm0t.livejournal.com]

Aaron Perrino of the Sheila Divine now fronts Dear Leader.

[morganology.livejournal.com]

I will take the other Stereolab, the Smiths and the Sugar. :) I'll send postage $.

[jfb.livejournal.com]

Check. True Stories went out today (media mail, so expect it next week).

[artname.livejournal.com]

Sprinsteen
Smiths
Smithreens
Squeeze
Sinatra

Or you could just pick somethign for me to remember you by ..

[jfb.livejournal.com]

Well, I have got a couple spare crates of TK....

[artname.livejournal.com]

I only have two, I think ..

[bushmiller.livejournal.com]

Spiritualized! Please!

And if for some reason none of the faster repliers gets the Smiths CD, I'll take that.

[jfb.livejournal.com]

I'm actually surprised how many people want the Smiths CD and don't already have it. The Spiritualized's yours, though.

[jfb.livejournal.com]

I have a hunch the address I have for you isn't current--update me (mailto:eostrom@drowning.org).

[tombking.livejournal.com]

David Sanchez, Wayne Shorter, and Lalo Schifrin.
And damn, too late to get the Jimmy Smith.

[jfb.livejournal.com]

Got it. Anything from the "T"s?
