Top Releases week ending 11.22.2004

Weekly Report from Boulder
I'm sitting here already tackling the holiday stacks! Yikes, we got some absolute schlock this year (No, I WON'T add Chicago's holiday album.) but there are usually a few treats in the mix. The Messiah Remixed was so good (hey of course, it's on Bang on a Can's label and has John Oswald!) that it's been available for a few weeks already.

This last week was marked mostly by meetings and preparation for the big baby shower. My friend Martha, after ten years of marriage, is due with twins. I couldn't resist the transportation themed kids clothes as she's a mover and shaker in the alternative transportation world. And of course I got to make them a kid's CD, heavy on the Putumayo and world releases. The party was great and included plenty of silliness, including the modified nursing bosom for John.
