Re: (TV) (OT) Throwing Muses - free music

[Rex Broome <rexbroome@gmail.com>]

For what it's worth, and since this is free, when asked what my favorite
band is, I never know whether the words "Television" or "Throwing Muses" are
going to come out of my mouth.  (If you factor in solo artists the field
gets crowded with Neil Youngs and John Cales, but you'd still find Tom and
Kristin in the top 5).

So, recommended.

I'm happy that this seems to be getting a fair amount of notice, for many
reasons.
