The Big Takeover Top 10

There are three NZ releases in Jack Rabid's Top 10 list.

I am particularly thrilled about Graeme Humphreys and Peter Keen getting on the list. The Overflow has been my go-to cd of the year. I haven't felt this swoony since high school.

Keen's singin' and Humprhey's piano playin' has made me go back and learn about the Able Tasmans' back catalogue. "Jethro Tull for young people" indeed! (thanks, Bibi!)

It goes without saying that I'm happy for Don McGlashan, too.

The Big Takeover is a fairly noncommercial labor of love and it shows.

Okay, I know the bigtakeover website looks very commercially oriented, but really the magazine isn't. It takes months to get through one issue. Good thing they only come out quarterly.
