I went a little crazy at Overstock.com and bought a slew of music and 'book tape' CD's, mostly for $1 each. Some of them are very odd. The Kacapi Suling Cinta is Javanese ethnic dance music. So far the Viva Cubop 2 CD is my favorite with everything from salsa to very cool jazz. I've only had time to listen to 4 or 5 albums all of the way through. The grooves albums are interesting in that they are samplers put out by record companies. People are always complaining about buying a whole CD for one good song and not realizing that they usually end up putting a collection of good songs from different artists on one of these samplers or a movie soundtrack which ends up in the bargain bin.
One surprise was in the folk legends. Since the Dubliners were in it I expected traditional Irish folk songs. When I saw the title of the second song by Richard Digance was "Drag Queen Blues", I assumed it was some bit of slang having to do with fishing, like the term 'dragline', since there was a "Net Hauling Song" on the CD.
It turned out to be a song about cross-dressing. It was pretty funny.
