jfbCDs:
Mark Eitzel, Live on WFMU (Solo Acoustic 4/16/01). For a while Mark was selling these CDs, apparently home-burned, in cardboard sleeves he'd labeled with a Sharpie. This is an in-studio performance and interview, with lots of songs from The Invisible Man.
Mark Eitzel, Eitzel Superhits International. This one is demos from 1999. I don't think these songs have been released in non-demo form.
Morphine, The Night. Posthumous album. Less minimal than their earlier work.
Various Artists, Arcane. Results of the 1992 Real World Recording Week. Jane Siberry, Nigel Kennedy, Billy Cobham, many others.
Various Artists, Don't Know When I'll Be Back Again. Indie rock bands cover classic rock songs. Ted Leo, the Reputation, Death Cab for Cutie, ...
Joe Henry, Short Man's Room. 1992 alt-country album, with the Jayhawks.
Groupa, Lavalek. Swedish folk revival.
Dana Thompson, Ox. Honest country music.
Rebecca Riots, Gardener. Bay Area folk trio.
Jenny Reynolds, Colored in Poetry. Boston-area (I think) singer-songwriter. Guest appearance by Catie Curtis.
Sue Garner, Shadyside. Quiet rock? "Day Out" is a great song.
South, From Here On In. Madchester-influenced.
Chris Thile, Not All Who Wander Are Lost. Instrumental album from Nickel Creek's mandolin virtuoso. With Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, etc.
Doudou Ndiaye Rose, Djabote. Senegalese drum and vocal ensemble.
The Cinematic Orchestra, Man with a Movie Camera. Score for Dziga Vertov's silent film by electronica/jazz group.
Either/Orchestra, The Brunt. Boston's best big band, but I don't much like their cover of "Lay Lady Lay".
Walker Kong, There Goes the Sun. Beats me; their label threw it in when I ordered the Owls CD, but I didn't dig it.
Peter Case (self-titled). Former Plimsoul's folkier solo debut. "Icewater" is a great song.
Chris Smither, Live As I'll Ever Be. Far-flung live recordings of bluesy New Orleans-via-Boston singer-songwriter.
This Busy Monster, The Curious Sofa. Um. Barsuk pop. EP.
Grandaddy, Signal to Snow Ratio. Another EP. Pre-Sophtware Slump. Spacy.
Deb Talan, A Bird Flies Out. One of my favorite singer-songwriters; for my taste, a bit too pop in its production.
Jenna Mammina, Meant to Be. Jazz singer; standards, pop songs ("Dirty Work", "You Can Close Your Eyes"), originals.
For Stars, For Stars and Windows for Stars. Introspective, naive, lovely songs; before he learned to be happy sometimes.
Dmitri Shostakovich/Wiener Philharmoniker (Mariss Jansons, cond.), Symphony No. 5 in D minor and Chamber Symphony. What can I say?
Books:
Don Marquis, The Lives and Times of Archy and Mehitabel. The cockroach and the cat, with pictures by George Herriman.
Carl Sandburg, Chicago Poems. The fog comes on little cat feet.
James Thurber, Thurber Country. Early '50s collection, mostly from The New Yorker.
Erik Spiekermann and E. M. Ginger, Stop Stealing Sheep & find out how type works. I never finished this book, but it sure is pretty.
Two items I don't think anyone will want, but I want to mention them anyway: Charlene Akers's First & Foremost: A Guide to Northern California's Independent Bookstores serves now less as a guide than as a record of what we've lost. And, um... in January of 2000, Sky, the in-flight magazine of Delta Air Lines, heralded "A New Century" with the conceit of a January 1900 issue: an attempted interview with Tsar Nicholas II, an excerpt from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and "Do We Really Need an American League?" This was the best Y2K joke I saw.
I also have some dated travel books from New Jersey and New York, and maps (also dated) from many states and cities. And sheet music and instructional books, jazz and pop and folk and classical, mostly for piano or mandolin/fiddle. If anyone wants details, etc.

Shostakovich

Also the Sandburg, 'cause I've never read it.
I'm somewhat interested in some of the piano sheet music. Any chance you could be a little more specific?
