Speaking of Gov't Mule.. thats another band I've never heard but have been
curious about. I see them mentioned in several different circles.. i.e., the
"Jam Band" people talk about them and the "heavy" people talk about them. I
thought they were a jam band at first but now am not so sure.. should I
bother?

Monster Magnet is another one.. but I did hear their latest radio stuff and
wasn't that impressed so I may skip them.

I'm a picky S.O.B.

On comps... I did buy "Workshop of the Telescopes" since all my BOC except
"Imaginos" is on LP and I wanted some of the old stuff to play in my truck..
I may still go out and buy the first 3 on CD though since WotT missed many
of my favorites..
