The Scrounger's ReportNov. 10, 2000A frightening statistic and some new discs...EEP! Just checked my collection database and according to my records, thus far in the year 2000 I have purchased or traded for just over 700 CDs. I knew I'd been active this year, but YIPES (and none of those are CDRs). Well after work today I picked up a few more to add to that total from the local indy shop (GASP! Paying full retail??? AUGH!). Angel Dust - Enlighten the Darkness. 2000. Century Media. Haven't listened yet, but I'd heard some tracks previously; rather impressive (at the time). Vanden Plas - Spirit of Live. 2000. InsideOut America. This was "nice-priced" at $11.99, so I assumed it was an EP (the *only* time the mom&pop prices *anything* below $13.95 is if it's an EP). Umm, NOT! 73+ minutes on this one... Firehouse - O2. 2000. Spitfire Records. Listened to a bit of it. Heavier than previous efforts, and a bit stripped back productionwise. Not stellar, but not bad either. V/A - Little Guitars (A Tribute to Van Halen). 1999. Triage Records (released on the Shrapnel label). Hadn't seen this before, nor have I seen anyone mention it. It *says* 1999 on the label; I disbelieve. Is it one of those that was a Jap-only release (like the Led Zeppelin tribute) and is just now seeing the light of day in the U.S.? An interesting selection of songs and performers: 1. Unchained - Jack Russell, Dweezil Zappa, Marco Mendoza, Eric Singer 2. I'm the One - Mark Slaughter, Doug Aldrich, Tim Bogert, Frankie Banali 3. Dance the Night Away - Joe Lynn Turner, Reb Beach, Marco Mendoza, Gregg Bissonette 4. Light Up the Sky - Doug Pinnick, Yngwie Malmsteen, Billy Sheehan, Vinnie Colaiuta 5. Panama - Jani Lane, George Lynch, Tony Franklin, Gregg Bissonette 6. Hot For Teacher - John Corabi, Bruce Kulick, Tony Franklin, Gregg Bissonette 7. Running With the Devil - Steven Pearcy, Jake E. Lee, Tim Bogert, Frankie Banali 8. Pretty Woman - Gunnar Nelson, Matt Nelson, Albert Lee, Tony Levin, Aynsley Dunbar 9. Atomic Punk - Fee Waybill, Brad Gillis, Tim Bogert, Frankie Banali 10. So This Is Love - Jeff Scott Soto, Blues Saraceno, Tony Franklin, Eric Singer 11. Little Guitars - Devid Glenn Eisley, Mitch Perry, Marco Mendoza, Eric Singer Looks like it has potential....
