Sinister: Top Tens Rule

[Barrett R]

Hello all

I know that this was about 5 Top Tens ago, but the guitar solo on Big Star's 
"September Gurls" is awesome.

I would also like to fourth/fifth/whatever the recommendations for the 
Pernice Brothers album.  The Woody Guthrie thing that Billy Bragg and Wilco 
have done is really good as well.

Does anyone out there know much about Jim White?  He played in Dublin last 
week and he was both sublime (when his drum machine wasn't in use) and 
ridiculous ( when the drum machine was on, thereby drowning his lovely 
country tunes out) in equal measures.  His album "Wrong Eyed Jesus" is one 
of the best things I've heard in ages though, and yet he doesn't seem to get 
much press on this side of the ocean.

Was anyone else really jealous of all those parties in France over the last 
couple of days?  I was over there at that sports event which shall remain 
unmentioned (I'm already on a yellow card from Honey over the nationalism 
thing, I think) a couple of weeks back and I was delighted for them as the 
whole nation failed to live up to their stereotype by being dead friendly 
the entire time.  Although Ronaldo must have been really ill to let Frank 
LeBouef mark him out of the game.

PS  Loved the Gregorian Chant Top Ten!  All classics, no doubt.
