The Kawaii Menace

I loved the first track in the first set and the third track in the second (which sounds a lot like Jethro Tull except for the lack of distinctive Ian Anderson flute trills). I disliked the Doors cover (clever and well-done as it was) because I can’t stand the Doors, and the only song that really annoyed me on its own merits was the first track in the second set. The rest of it was pretty good.

Recognizing any of ‘em? Not a chance.

Well, *that* was frustrating. I liked every single one of these and probably have most or all of them somewhere in my own collection (though only because I have a well-informed musical consultant with tastes amazingly similar to Don’s, who keeps me happily supplied in obscure and enjoyable tunes). But I have a terrible memory for instrumentals, so I could securely identify by name and artist only the one vocal piece. I’m pretty sure of the artist on Set 1, Track 1, but for the rest I could only narrow down to likely candidates … and the last track on each set had me totally stumped. (Greyduck, the one that annoyed you is klezmer, but beyond that I can’t name the artist or song.) Obviously I have to shift the stack of CDs around and rotate through some of the ones I haven’t been listening to lately. (Though surely some of these are recent finds?)
