I guess I’ve started listening to bj’s and jim’s tapes a lot these past weeks, and if I’m not mistaken I’ve notice a few themes, concious, unconcious, or nonexistent, I don’t know…
but on bj’s there’s jethro tull’s “living in the past” just after taj mahal’s “there is no percentage in remembering the past” and, well, on reflection, that one’s pretty obvious…
and on jim’s old tape (jim’s picks 1, I suppose), I found that I hadn’t listened to the ‘B’ side at all… how’s that? well on the plus side, its like a nice fresh discovery…
but the theme itself eludes me just now…but I remember it also involved loss and a sense of involvement in the past, a kind of nostalgia, but different, a bittersweet, even sentimental recollection.
I think there’s a possibility here, a select-a-set.com type thing, involving the son-of-napster systems that are cropping up, you post your set, and it boils down to pointers to the songs, which your friends then fetch via their own channels….but people have to have broadband for it to work… maybe its an e.s.d. app?
