"L"

[jfb]

Rules clarification--it's not strictly first-come-first-served. If someone else already requested something you want, ask for it anyway and I'll try to split things up fairly.


For some reason there are a lot of "I thought I liked this artist but it turns out I didn't" and "I tried to like this artist but it never happened" things in the "L" section.

• John Lurie Fishing with John. From the TV show.
  
• The Jessica Lurie Ensemble !Zipa Buka!. Could be a relative--similarly on the edge between jazz and other things.
  
• Living Daylights Electric Rosary. Another Jessica Lurie ensemble.
  
• The Living Daylights Give Till It Hurts. Not the same band!
  

Well, you can see how that happened.

• Luscious Jackson "Naked Eye". I love this song. Three mixes, one of them instrumental. dougo
  
• Luscious Jackson, Fever In Fever Out. The album it's from. Produced by Daniel Lanois. stragglyr_chris
  
• Luscious Jackson, Electric Honey. The album after it. "Nervous Breakthrough" and "Ladyfingers" were good. dougo
  
• Luscious Jackson, Natural Ingredients. The album before it. Beats me. dougo
  
• Arto Lindsay Mundo Civilizado. Bossa Nova meets electronica, falls ill, drifts downstream. Cover songs by Al Green and Prince, and one cowritten with Marisa Monte; DJ Spooky and Vinicius Cantuaria and Marc Ribot and Don Byron all appear.
  
• Arto Lindsay Hyper Civilizado. Remixes of the above.
  
• Arto Lindsay Noon Chill. More.
  

• Low Songs for a Dead Pilot. People keep telling me I should like Low, and from everything I've read, I completely agree, which is why I've bought four or five CDs by them, none of which has really grabbed me. Hey, I hear they've got a new one out. dougo
  
• Low Pop Suicide The Death of Excellence. I bought this because I liked Rick Boston's work on the Rickie Lee Jones album Ghostyhead. I still do. But this isn't much like it.
  
• k.d. lang all you can eat. The followup to Ingenue.
  
• Caroline Lavelle Brilliant Midnight. Kind of new-agey? But with beats? Okay, I don't remember. Her previous album was pretty great though.
  
• Donna Lewis "I Love You Always Forever". What can I say? It hooked me. Radio mix, annoying remix, and two non-album tracks.
  
• Keith Little Distant Land to Roam. Terrific bluegrass guitarist and singer.
  
• Lu Lu and the Cowtippers (s/t). Blues-rock, I think? Saw them in San Luis Obispo once. rutemple
  
• Mary Lou Lord Got No Shadow. I remember Park Street.
  
• Laura Love Octoroon. Exciting, genre-bending funky pop-folk. Also, she's a bass player!
  
• The Love Dogs I'm Yo Dog. Swing revivalists, it says here.
  

• Joe Locke Slander (And Other Love Songs). Jazz vibraphone. Includes songs by Stevie Wonder, Lalo Schifrin, and Joni Mitchell, and plenty of originals. Oh and an Elvis song.
  
• The Joe Locke Quartet Moment to Moment. Henry Mancini tribute.
  
• Divination Ambient Dub, Vol. 2: Dead Slow. Bill Laswell by any other name. Dave S.
  
• Steve Lacy Reflections. Few people have played Thelonious Monk's music more than Steve Lacy; here, for example.
  
• Patrick Leonard Rivers. More fishing music.
  
• Jason Lindner Premonitions. Big band music in the year 2000.
  
• Erik Lindgren Scores! Chamber music from a former Birdsong of the Mesozoic. Features Liza Scriggins, who has a wonderful name, plays a mean viola, and, I'm pretty sure, was a featured soloist in the debut performance of my sole big band composition. Or was it only a dream? rutemple
