Charles Douglas -
Not Your Kind of Music
Double cd compilation of Douglas' releases. 67 songs in all in the style of Daniel Johnston, Jonathan Richman and the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Douglas could be lumped in with similar troubled, outsider artists. In his case he got his act together and became a successful writer under a different name. Favorite songs out of many- "Drivin' Around". "'Another Boring Song About Wynona Ryder", "Super High" and "Monkey Island".

London Is the Place for Me 5 & 6: Afro-Cubism
This is a great series & this double cd set is the best yet in the series. Calypso, jazz, early ska & reggae from late '50s - early '60s London. Favorite tracks: Mighty Terror's "Patricia Gone With Millicent", "Mambo Contempo" by Ginger Johnson, and West African Rhythm Brothers' "Jekafo Ju Agbawo". I love that Afro-Caribbean sound so enjoying this album is easy for me.
