Sent CDs today to bushmiller, Melissa, Becca, rutemple, Dave, and a videotape to Chris. I have mailers for 1-5 CDs; for the people who've already requested more than that, hey, request more! Then I can use some of the bigger boxes I have lying around.

To that end, "G" (because Marn picked a letter):

• Glider. This band, on the patio out behind Linnaea's, was one of the first things I loved about San Luis Obispo. I don't know what they're like--psychedelic, maybe? I hear some Hendrix, and also there's a violin. This CD was made when they were still in Boston. It looks like most of them are now in this band, with a higher-pitched singer. dougo
  
• Five Eight The Good Nurse. Emo concept album? dougo
  
• David Grubbs The Space Between. Arty indie, ex-Slint, John McEntire, etc. dougo
  
• Gastr del Sol Camofleur. Grubbs and Jim O'Rourke, quiet and repetitive but not boring. bushmiller
  
• Clifford Gilberto I Was Young and I Needed the Money. Electronic music formed from scraps of old fusion, samba, cartoons. A little crazy.
  
• Philip Glass Kundun. Minimalism goes to Tibet. morganita
  
• Gay Dad Transmission. Noisier but less leisurely than Leisure Noise.
  
• David Goodrich Failure of the Doping Summit. Peter Mulvey's frequent collaborator, alone in an electric jazz place. artname
  
• The Go-Betweens Bellavista Terrace. The best of this 1980s pop band. europopkid
  
• Rachel Garlin Green Light Distance. Debut from Berkeley singer-songwriter.
  

And "F" (because it was next to "G", and the "G" stack was small):

• Flatland The Satellite. Guitar-heavy fusion trio.
  
• 4 A.M. South Bay AAA band.
  
• The Very Best Of Fairground Attraction. A skiffle band?! With Eddi Reader.
  
• For Against Coalesced. AMG says "aggressive atmospheric pop" and references Lush and the Smiths. Not the best part of this shipment. dougo
  
• Faultline Your Love Means Everything. Electronica; kind of cold. Guest vocals include Michael Stipe and Wayne Coyne, and Chris Martin, who is probably why I lost interest. dougo
  
• The Victor Feldman Trio To Chopin with Love. The pianist, a frequent session player for Steely Dan, joins his son and John Pattitucci for a set of, yes, Chopin covers. Surprisingly successful.
  
• Ashleigh Flynn Chokecherry. Pop folk from Portland.
  
• Tony Furtado & Dirk Powell. Slide guitar and banjo... or guitar and accordion... or slide banjo and piano... and so on. Some traditional tunes, some new ones, no singing.
