I recently started listening to Loudon Wainwright III, mainly because he struck me as a John Prine type of Singer, or Arlo Guthrie, or Bob Dylan if you will.
For a tase of what Loudon is Like try
http://www.waxy.org/archive/2003/02/12/loudon_w.shtml
The song on this Album that initially caught my attention
I initially thought it was being factual about being Public Domain.
I did some research today and find it is actually being tongue in cheek,
about the whole P2P phoenomena. well my Bad, on interpreting that song.
It still is very good, and the whole album is Great. Titled "So Damned Happy"
Where I went wrong is that Loudon has a Public domain Song protesting President Bush.
That is available somewhere.
I heard His "swimming song" first, which was just great. Then I bought the album "So Damn Happy."
Loudon Wainwright III, "Something for Nothing"
You can pull one of my songs right out of thin air
Go ahead and download me, see if I care
In love, war and cyberspace, everything's fair
And it's okay to steal 'cause it's so nice to share
You're in luck 'cause last night, it happened again
I was feeling creative about twenty to 10
So I sharpened a pencil and I wore down its end
And now soon you'll have something to share with your friends
It took twenty minutes to write down this song
The tune's public domain so I didn't do wrong
I chewed up the pencil and the eraser's all gone
Scratched my head and my balls, but it didn't take long
Songwriting's not so hard, it's well-understood
Anyone can do it and everyone should
I'm sure you could write and sing something as good
With some balls and a pencil, I'm sure that you would
A PC's like a crowbar, it's only a tool
And music flows like water from a big public pool
But I wanna get paid for my work, but I'm a fool
Because trading and sharing's so awesome and cool
I don't mean to be flip, I don't want to be pat
Those Metallica guy are all getting too fat.
Free information, yeah, what's wrong with that?
Something for nothing, that's where it's at
And those moguls run labels and you call them all crooks
Because they crunch the numbers and they cook the books
But I signed that contract and I got my hand shook
Shaking hands with the devil, it's not as bad as it looks
You can pull one of my songs right out of thin air
Bootleg and download me, see if I care
In love, war and cyberspace, everything's fair
And it's okay to steal 'cause it's so nice to share
Also of Note is They Might Be Giants Album "Spine" a very good listen.
"Stalk of wheat" is a very good track and also "Some crazy Bastard wants to Hit me."
And "Thunderbird" This Album seems to be a little more Dark and covers some hard topics, but the tunes are catchy and the rythm is the usual TMBG Pump it up.

Glad to hear it Kiddo, after all I went through today to share it. I go through alot of music, and will be putting alot here (I imagine.) Also of note is Mark Knopflers Shangri La, and A really good one is Robinellas & the CC String Band (folksy, bluegrass, rockabilly flavour), and Steely Dan Katy Lied and The Corrs Unplugged is very Good, also last one Carole King "Love makes the world go round album"

Any fans of Hip-Hop here? Somehow I think it's not a crowd favorite... 
My current top 3:
Jadakiss - Why (Remix)
Mobb Deep - Real Gangstaz
LL Cool J - Headsprung

hey, since this it the song thread...
anybody have some music the like and think is 'traveling in the car' music? (or about a car?)
I like Traveling Man and some other song that I can not remember right now
Oh and the Knight Rider theme.

Old Fleetwood Mac
It’s the same kind of story
That seems to come down from long ago
Two friends having coffee together
When something flies by their window
It might be out on that lawn
Which is wide, at least half of a playing field
Because there’s no explaining what your imagination
Can make you see and feel
Seems like a dream
they got me hypnotized
Now it’s not a meaningless question
To ask if they’ve been and gone
I remember a talk about north
Carolina and a strange, strange pond
You see the sides were like glass
In the thick of a forest without a road
And if any man’s hand ever made that land
Then I think it would’ve showed
Seems like a dream
they got me hypnotized
They say there’s a place down in mexico
Where a man can fly over mountains and hills
And he don’t need an airplane or some kind of engine
And he never will
Now you know it’s a meaningless question
To ask if those stories are right
’cause what matters most if the feeling
You get when you’re hypnotized
Seems like a dream
they got me hypnotized

Don't you feel it growin', day by day
People gettin' ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh, we got to let the music play
What the people need
Is a way to make 'em smile
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh, now mama's go'n' to after 'while
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Well I know, you know better
Everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We'll be happy
And we'll dance
Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away
And if I'm feelin' good to you
And you're feelin' good to me
There ain't nothin' we can't do or say
Feelin' good, feeling fine
Oh, baby, let the music play
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
List'nin' for the happy sounds
And I got to let them fly
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
