questions, news and a rave

[Jim_Caligiuri]

Any of the Nashville folks have an opinion on a band called Joe, Marc's
Brother?
I'm pretty sure that it's been mentioned here, but what's the general
opinion on the new Fountains of Wayne CD? I though there were a couple of
pretty good tunes in the Cheap Trick/Cars pop/rock vein.
Two tidbits of info gained this weekend. The next Trish Murphy record is
now due in July. Jesse Dayton has signed to Columbia and is also expecting
to release a record in July.
OBTwang: The upcoming Marty Stuart record could be the country record of
the year. It's an ambitous project that melds all kinds of country into a
very listenable whole and features guest appearances from Emmylou, Ralph
Stanley, Johnny Cash and George Jones.
Jim, kinda smilin'

My opinion of UTOPIA PARKWAY is that it's not as immediately accessible and
catchy as their fab first record, but it sounds better with each repeat
listening. It's more "produced' than the first record, and there's a lot of
70's pop references here that are done right rather than sketchily. g The
lyrics reward close repeated listens and are as clever and funny as you'll
find. I'm very jazzed on the record, and it's right there with the best new
pop this year.

I'm not from Nashville but I saw them in Nashville and they were great! 
Poppy-mod and fun-melodic.  They backed up Radney Foster at SXSW to fine
effect.  I have their CD if you wanna borrow it...

Is there still a label called Columbia?

Joe wonders:

They're still putting stuff out with that mark - last year's Tribute To
Tradition is on Columbia, the Dylan 1966 album is on Columbia, and Deryl
Dodd's new album (this year, I think) is, too.
