Haha that's like trying to pick your favorite child, but right now I'd go with Photocorners, both versions, or Ooh you shocked me. Do you know what's going on with them? It seems like they should have had another album out by now.
Nicky Thrice:
they're working on their next album right now, it's called Scherezadian. Their website says it's completed and they're going to release it soon followed by a tour of the U.S. Did you know that the eskimo's have only one word for love but 49 words for orgasm? As of right now they have one song on their myspace from Scherezadian called Lowiza, it builds up slowly but by the end it's pretty satisfying. Btw if you have both versions of photocorners that means you have My Best Friend Daniel. Where'd you find it? I've been looking for it forever but I can't find it anywhere.
Here's the album art for Scherezadian

NICE, thanks for the info. And I thought it was snow that eskimos had a ton of words for :P
No idea where I got My Best Friend Daniel from, probably oink back in the day, but i'll put it up in a little bit.

The Alan Lomax Collection: Southern Journey, Vol. 8 - Velvet Voices
Review from amazon:
--- Quote ---This CD is part of an ambitious reissue program of folklorist (did someone say saint?) Alan Lomax's library of recordings. Recorded during a 1960 trip by Lomax to the Eastern Shores of Virginia, these are not the velvet voices of today's high-gloss studio productions. These are the actual voices of the gospel choirs, jubilee singers, and fisherman who continued to honor their African American musical traditions long after the rest of the world had plunged into the modern age. Colonial fife-and-banjo music is represented by the fascinating song "Joe Turner." The sparkling call-and-response of the "Menhaden Chanties" shows how fishermen once used song to lighten their load when pulling in their nets. But most impressive are the gospel groups the Silver Leaf Quartet and the Bright Light Quartet. Contrary to its title, "So Tired" by the Bright Light Quartet will have you doing cartwheels in the aisles and working happily all through the day

The review does quite a good job; basically it's a collection of recordings by Alan Lomax featuring a bunch of different southern musicians. Most of its' bluesy-ish songs with simply amazing, baritone harmonies that I can only describe as swirling. If you've seen O Brother Where Art Though, you know what roughly to expect. Plus, most of the songs are either about dirty dirty sex or religion, and how can you resist that?
