I talked to someone recently about Caetano Veloso, Brazilian music, Marisa Monte, and Spanish music (like Shakira, Juanes, and Julieta Venegas) so I thought I would post some Caetano Veloso songs from a CD of his that I have called Noites do Norte...

Radiohead's new "In Rainbows" album - pay what you want for it

nobody@vox.com(Mark) — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 18:42:53 -0500

(edit ... here is a link to the website for the album) I think Radiohead is brave and awesome for selling their new album, "In Rainbows", directly to their fans all by themselves. I signed up to receive the album about a week or more ago. The sit...

Andytrons' 2005 Holiday Mix

nobody@vox.com(Mark) — Sun, 31 Dec 2006 11:54:08 -0600
