I like Booker T and the MG's (well, I like 'Green Onions'); that is a lovely track, thank you very much for posting it.
No, I quite reggae and ska, too, and have quite a number of UB40s stuff, as well as The Specials and a number of other 80s bands..
Second that. It's amazing. Every Daft Punk album has a different style with it. I was hoping to hear more of the Synth sounds heard from the Tron Legacy sountrack but the album still blew me away.
I like all their albums too. However, I wasn't impressed with the Tron: Legacy soundtrack. I definitely liked the Derezzed track and wished the rest of them were more like it.
But the new album is totally awesome from track #1 to the last one.
Sting - Shape of my Heart

The world has never been the same after the 12" remixes. Let's give it up to the 80's!

my new fix is The Mad Capsule Markets.
No, it hasn't, I agree. I remember the thrill of unwrapping (an old) 12" singles - (what some saw as works of art, the kind that couldn't be released under the tyranny of playlists on radio stations, but what others viewed as a self indulgent attempt to milk fans, or aficionados, of their hard earned cash in order to buy a lengthier version of a track they most likely already had) when first released. You are right. The world has never been the same since. (in terms of storage, my 12" had their own space in the racks, between the 45s and the 33s......)
Great album; a really excellent album. Lovely cover, and some wonderful tracks.
If you are going through a Turkish music phase at the moment, I can recommend a very good group called Café Anatolia - I picked up several of their CDs on various trips through Istanbul airport in recent years. They are a sort of cross between easy listening and (modern) Turkish music, and some of their tunes are really excellent.
As I'm writing this, I'm listening to a lovely track of theirs called 'Love Secret' from an album named 'New Spring', followed by their track 'The Violent [Coloured Mountains]' (they may have meant to use the word 'violet' instead, but the word 'violent' is what is written on the album track titles), from their album 'Café Anatolia'. Anyway, it is a lovely piece of music, as is 'The Waltz Of the Butterfly' by the same group from the same album.

Those guys are all quite talented and genre defying. Claypool is truly odd. I saw them at Lollapalooza in Raleigh in 1993. Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda are still my fav albums from these guys.
