1. It's been a fallow period to me... I guess LCD Soundsystem (I got Sound of Silver late)
2. Yes... but in my defense it's because my daughters like the golden retriever on my Super Furry Animals shirt, and the little chick on my Bjork shirt (they also like the bird on my Tottenham Hotspur shirt and the lion on my Dutch National team shirt).

2. Not anymore, but a Joy Division T-shirt was partially guilty of a loving affair long ago…
3. Kurt Cobain
4. Miguel said it previously, “Je t’aime (moi non plus)”, it ought to be a Gainsbourg one…

7. George Harrison, either pre or post hindu obsession
8. I hope so. They have a more "antique" quality to them. LP's are more special than CDs.
9. Don't really have one.
10. Jimi Hendrix - So I could see the master perform. His stage presence was supposedly unbelievable.
Miguel, being from MN I know about Mason Jennings and his first two albums are two of my favorites. I haven't liked much of what he's put out since but he's definitely an artist that deserves to be heard by more people.
1. Bob Martin - Midwest Farm Disaster

4. Let's Get It On
5. Brian Wilson
6. Most classic Bluenote jazz releases
7. Bob Dylan

John, I haven’t heard his first two recordings, unfortunately. I discovered him with his third album, “Century Springs” (2002). Last year, Jennings released an excellent work, “In the Ever”, full of good songs, like “Fighter Girl”
Honorio, two suggestions about Gainsbourg’s sexy songs: “Initials BB” and the “the notorious, now infamous, single” (AMG dixit) “Lemon Incest”
…and as soon as I can, I’ll try to make a list with my favourite covers. ¡Palabrita de Niño Jesús!
1. Hmmm... the most recent is Siouxsie and the Banshees
2. Yes, although I have to like the way they look.
3. Kurt Cobain
4. Sexiness is up to the individual. I guess for my wife and I, we'll go with "Pink Cashmere" by Prince.
5. Robert Smith (The Cure)
6. Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure
7. Grace Jones
8. If only for the fact that DJs prefer them, yes.
9. Vive la Fete
