Gotcha. Thanks Scrooge. I thought something looked funny there. Looks like their only overall Top 10 represents both store locations.

Easy Street lists are actually their Pacific Northwest Top 10 sellers, not overall Top 10.

Don't neglect the fantastic work done on the album by Jim O'Rourke and Van Dyke Parks. Seriously, what a line-up. "Sawdust and Diamonds" is my favorite too.

I'd argue that it isn't necessarily the harp that you're a fan of. Or, rather, there's lots of other harp stuff out there that is, I'm sure, fantastic, but inaccessible to us because it's packaged as "Celtic Strings" or something dumb. Newsome passes those tests because the album was produced by Steve Albini and put out by Drag City and their influence has made it palatable. I mean, of course you're a fan of the harp - It's an instrument that's been around forever. It's too much to stomach when it's mired in vapid New Age territory, though.

Definitely a goodie. I'm particularly fond of "Cosmia." Who knew I'd become a fan of the harp?

I'm listening to that Ys. album and specifically the song Sawdust and Diamonds puts me in a trance for the entire 9 minutes 55 seconds. In fact, I loop it. It's my one song this week.
