Hahhaha, loved the way u sayed it bc1991. You really cant compare Beethoven and John Coltrane, can you? But in a way u can, because they express themselves through fine art and 300 years later all students have to know who they both are. BY THE WAY ARVO PÄRT IS A GENIUS, CHECK HIM OUT!

Mr. Music,
So I've heard read about the legend of the Shagg's LP Philosophy of the World album. I believe there was a tribute album a while back. A few questions: Why is it so great? Is the music equal to the legend that has grown up around it? I've always heard that the Shagg sisters were not very accomplished musicians. I've never heard the album, but I imagine it to be something along the lines of Daniel Johnston; naive, sloppy, and weird in all the right ways. Am I in the ballpark? Can the album be bought anymore or is it totally out of print? Would Ebay be the best source to track it down?
Speaking of weird 60's cult bands, ever heard The Incredible String Band? I recently picked up 5000 Spirits and Hangman's Beautiful Daughter on CD. It's this weird psych folk stuff, the kind of music that Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart are sort of reviving.

Afterhours,
The Strokes over the Shins? Right, Ummm... I'm going to have to diagree with you there.  I mean The Strokes first album is great (maybe even classic), but that band doesn't have the songwriting talent that James Mercer of the Shins has. See, to me songwriting is a craft that I revere as an artform and I think that might be where we disagree on the Beatles thing and all (they were better than anyone at songcraft). The Shins, in my opinion are much better at songcraft than the Strokes and they are more musically sophisticated as well.
Another contemporary band Beatles fans and others should be paying close attention to is The Decemberists. They have a very unique sound merging European folk with pop/rock (although their new album is much more eclectic) And the lyrics... Nobody's writing the kind of lyrics Colin Meloy writes. The Crane Wife is the one of the best albums I've heard in the last couple of years (Could end up on top 10 or 20 lists in the future). Castaways and Cutouts and Picaresque are also great.
Coldplay, on the other hand, I never understood their popularity. They have always sounded like Radiohead-light to me.
