Vincent,
Glad you're liking my recommendations. I'm slowly filling in my ideal Dogs playlist, which may end up informing my NanoWriMo novel this year. I'm envisioning a society which has gone to the stars after having Dogs be a real force in the past. I have no idea though how that's gonna turn out, but I'm looking forward to finding out! (At least it won't be just another generic space opera.) Hope you don't mind me taking your wonderful game and using it as a springboard....
Insofar as Blood Oranges go, I found there were a few CDs on Amazon for not too much cash, if you can stand doing business with 'em. Otherwise, my friend Ken of the more than 3000 CDs has lots of sources for out of print music that he'd gladly share with us, if I ask. He's my original source for Blood Oranges, Oysterband, and Cordelia's Dad anyway. Good guy to ask if you want to track down nearly anything.
I'm so jealous of you having Cordelia's Dad as a local band. I only ever saw 'em once, early 90s, I think it was, and I didn't own a CD player, and I was poorer than church mice, so I never did get a tape, even. Ah well. They were really wonderful then.
I heard "By Way of Sorrow" on the Cry, Cry, Cry (Dar Williams, Richard Shindell, and Lucy Kaplansky collaboration) album, and just had to track down the original. I've been a big fan of Julie Miller ever since. She's this teeny waif of a woman, just a wisp, and she sings like a fallen angel.
