Some CDs

[ericcoleman]

I picked up a couple CDs when I was at Windycon. Some quick comments

Tom Smith - Live At Marcon
I am a firm believer, as much as I like Tom's studio stuff, that live is the way to experience him. I now have this and the GaFilk show on my harddrive here at work, and I really think this is the better of the two (but only barely). It's available at tomsmithonline.com, like many on my friend's are not likely to know that already. The best thing I can say about it, it severely hurt the Moose on the drive home. He now regrets not having seen filkertom in concert. Go buy it now. Buy the GaFilk show too. You got any more of these Tom ???

Nate Bucklin - Water Over The Bridge
I have only had one listen to it, which is certainly enough to know that it's great. Nate's songs amaze me. I will say, and this is hardly a secret really, but his secret weapon is really Louie. For the record I want to say to her ... the production is superb. More on the CD after I get a few more chances to listen to it.

Just wanted to point out that there's a nifty new live version of "Cthulu Fthagn" on Tom's MarCon CD, featuring me. It's much better than the version that's on "Worst Album Ever", mainly because by then he and I had it memorized and had been performing it at a lot of shows since 2003. :) I highly recommend it as well.

I am very proud to have hosted an official Lukeski Moment^tm on my very own Live Journal.

Oh yeah ... and he is right, it's the best version I have heard ...

Is it still a Luke Ski moment when I'm plugging somebody else's album? :)

A true Lukeski Moment ^tm is a malleable thing. It is a moment of self promotion. Optimally it will lead to some sort of monetary gain, but an indirect gain can also be the end result.

boy that that sounded pompous even for me
