Here
at The Bower, we receive some of the most wondrous and whacky donations
you can ever imagine! There is certainly no accounting for taste and
experiencing the diversity of what people love and vehemently can't
stand is part of the fun of working here!
Music
is certainly no exception! At times we receive entire CD collections
(thank you MP3 era!) and the budding sociologists among us try to figure
out what sort of amazing person has the entire Kylie Minogue back
catalogue mixed with smatterings of Guns n' Roses and P Diddy!
We've
recently reviewed our current offering of CDs and have pulled out the
Top 5! We are surprised they're still in stock but perhaps they'll be
snapped up once this newsletter is released to the masses!
Number 5 - Just Whitney, Whitney Houston - Goes without saying really! Vale! This CD even features a duet with the delightful Bobby Brown. Thanks Bobby!
Number 4 - It's Fun Time, Bananas in Pyjamas
- What childhood is complete without those bent brothers! You can even
tickle B1 and B2 with Maggie's feathers in this interactive CD
Number 3 - Miss Kitty and The Hacker - We have no idea about this one but the name and the CD cover is just brilliant!
Number 2 - Scenes from Childhood, Music for children by Tchaikovsky - What
modern teenager wouldn't love to kick back and listen to such uplifting
classics as "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair" and "The Little
Negro"...um...yeah. Thanks Tchaikovsky!
Last but certainly not least...!
Number 1 - Batalla Famossa, The Great Emu War -
This is a recorder (YES, recorder!) consort of of young musicians from
Armidale, NSW formed in 1994.The sounds of these kids playing their
recorders to Ukrainian, Korean and North-Western Chinese Folksongs is
exquisite. A must have!
