| What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two). |

| Magnetic South / Michael Nesmith | |
|
Mike Nesmith? Jeeze, is he still around?
If you're old enough, you might remember Nez for a bunch of reasons. The Monkees, of course; Nez was the tall one with the knitted cap. And there's the family legacy: the guy was heir to the Liquid Paper fortune. ( Seriously.) And then there's Elephant Parts; Nez was doing music videos before anybody'd ever heard of such a thing. With the most incoherently funny commentary track a DVD ever had. (At least the most intentionally incoherently funny; I can think of a few good candidates in the unintentional category.) I'd tell you more, but the iTMS doesn't carry it.1 And this blog is only about the iTMS. But through all the years, there's been a steady stream of music. Nez's songs sound sorta the same but sorta different. Cheerful, funny, wise, tuneful, energetic, with a kind of country twang. And lyrics you can understand; I like that. Listening to Nez makes me feel happy. And in today's world, who doesn't want more of that?
