______ READ GRIMJACK: THE MANX CAT, THE NEW, SERIALIZED GRIMJACK GRAPHIC NOVEL FREE AT COMICMIX.COM! ___________________________________________________ "WHAT I'M LISTENING TO IN THE STUDIO": IAN ANDERSON: THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF BIRDS- Fine studio effort by  the leader of Jethro Tull, with guest appearance by guitarist Martin Barre, who has ever played Sam to Ian's Frodo. This largely acoustic release harkens back to the "folk prog" of Tull's classic 70's era. Fine stuff. RICHARD THOMPSON: Various live downloads form his website. If you're a Thompson fan, as I am, and you've not checked out his website in a while, you'll probably be as pleasantly surprised to find several website-only live shows, each one boasting fantastic sound and offered at great prices.  GARY LOURIS: VAGABOND- Moody roots rock from the Jayhawks frontman, channeling the electric country-rock sound of the 1970's. -Timbo
