Sound Of The World 2009: Yes? No?

[NormanD]

Nu? Is the horizon any closer?

By which I mean, is there a 2XCD compilation coming out this year, Charlie?

[Charlie]

Yes, it is in in the works, and I have been very disciplined about not dropping info too early so it doesn't seem stale by the time of the July release. It will be called Otro Mundo (Another World). Sorry for not replying sooner.

[NormanD]

Thank you - always a welcome treat.

Here is the first of many suggestions for a cover:

The ones wearing shoes? Great photo, Norman. Do you know where or when it was taken? The trees look quite familiar, though that doesn't mean they aren't familiar to other continents as well.

Looking forward to Otro Mundo.

[Charlie]

Having loaded the cover picture into the compilation section of the pictures at www.myspace.com/djjackdaw I have utterly failed to copy and paste it here. Is there somebody with a defter touch who can do the trick?

[Gordon Neill]

[NormanD]

Well, I guessed there'd be a bus anyway. Hang around long enough and there's always another.

[Gordon Neill]

Perhaps next year's compilation could appear at the same time?

Is it not Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters' Bus ? If so, then it's very possibly the Pacific North West.

I do believe it is the 17 Hippies on their way to play WOMAD this year, finally.

[Rob Hall]

Looks like a fine collection, as ever, Charlie. I'm pleased to see that you managed to find room for 'Taguerebt' in there. Gordon is to be thanked yet again for bringing this track to our attention.

[Gordon Neill]

Rob claimed:

Um... I just got a bit obsessive about it. But I heard it first on some radio show by some DJ.....

But I'd echo Rob's comments on the compilation CD. As ever, the track list looks an interesting mix of stuff I know, stuff I don't, and stuff I've never got around to knowing. Looks like a couple of sales already.

Nothing to do with the Pranksters. You are in the right longitude, roughly, but the wrong latitude.
