I could get all the way to the last boss battle and I never could manage to beat it. This caused much potty-mouth. I loved RKA from the moment I first popped the cartridge in, but just couldn't feel the love for the XBLA game. It's not a bad game, just lacking...something...
This falls under the category of games that I find fun watching other people play, but probably wouldn't like myself. Excuse me, now I have to go read jaundice's Rocket Knight blog.
Pretty mixed bag here, Joe. I really liked Albert King and Semisonic. And Macklemore was a pleasant surprise. Not real crazy about any of the others, though.
Hmm...my birthday is in a couple of weeks...Maybe someone will send some gaming-related giftcards my way. A girl can hope.
Seems to be a mass laptop die-off lately. Mine died last month. A friend rescued me by buying and shipping a refurbished Dell D630, but I miss my other one. It had a separate video card, built in webcam and microphone, as well as card readers. But this one was free, so not complaining.
I have a love of unaccompanied music, so I really love those old a capella songs. Reminds me of when my grandfather used to sing to me. And that's Highland Widow's Lament, no whiskey there, just a sorrowful war widow.
Larry, it doesn't surprise me. She's all about her music. I have the first two albums that were put out on Vanguard, both very much traditional and two of my favorites, but I loved a lot of her 60s and 70s protest stuff. Blessed Are..is another favorite.
Jean Ritchie does have a bit of a lean toward country, but country was heavily influenced by folk. Her style is Appalachian, which was probably one of the heavier influnces on a lot of country.
As for Joni and Judy, just not my style. They both have beautiful voices, I just wish I liked their songs better.
Just search on YouTube for Miriam Makeba and you'll find plenty of the jazzed up stuff. Not to my taste, but not a big fan of brass in my folk.
Glad you liked the others.
New baby, big move...yeah, i guess we'll give you a pass on this one.
