Yeah, it's been a while, but I'm trying to stay on top of things now. Of course I say that all the time, so we'll disregard that last statement.
I will let you know what I've been listening to lately, which I think are things you should get your hands on:
The aforementioned Lewis Taylor album, "Lewis II" (of course I mentioned it before, next time click the link!) Beck, "Guero" Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Soundtrack John Coltrane, "Giant Steps" and random tracks from Fela Kuti, Mint Conditon, Alton Ellis, & Willie Williams
These albums and artists you can find over at amazon.com or if you can find some other way to get them, I suggest you do so. (and by other means, I don't mean downloading. cause I would never do that. never. ever.)
