Apparently Starbucks feels it needs to sell a bunch of other garbage to get people through their doors.
Whatever happened to coffeehouses just serving, well, coffee?

This cartoon  is in tribute to Todd and Michelle two dedicated Sioux Falls coffeehouse owners.

Dead Can Dance

I’ve never been a big fan of New Age, but somehow DCD has mixed traditional Irish folk music with the musical style. The lead singer’s voice is remarkable. I suggest you get the box set (above) it includes 3 CD’s that spans their entire exsistence and a DVD that has interviews and about a 17 minute performance in Dublin. The band’s live performance on the DVD is incredible. At one point they have 4-5 percussionists playing different instruments. DCD is not depressing, but they are haunting. You can tell they are a little influenced by Fairport Convention (Richard Thompson).
