New Pete Yorn, "Nightcrawler" CD- Good to know folks who let me borrow advance copies. Fantastic disc and it's getting a purchase on Tuesday. I love it and i'm so giggly he put "Undercover" on it as that's my fave B-side.

WHEN?!?

I'm sure you'll know exactly what I mean. (And I guess I can deal with "Undercover" on yet another CD, though if he were to dig through b-sides, I'd prefer "Suspicious Minds.")

reviving this thread!

Listening to William Elliot Whitmore's new disc, "Song of the Blackbird." another solid disc from this guy. It's some of the best stuff i've ever heard and his voice is so incredible. One of my buddies had him on his TV show up in WI and got me hooked on him. Very bluegrass and "old timey." Check him out at: www.southern.com or if you wanna head to the site for his new record and check out an mp3 of "The chariot" do that. http://www.southern.com/southern/band/WILEW/28130.php

Fantastic stuff.

I've been listening to Disturbed lately mostly because of Shout 2000 and Land of Confusion. Both are great songs and make me drive fast.

I am still mostly listening to the Grays: "Ro Sham Bo" (their hit was "Very Best Years") I can't believe I missed these guys in 94. A friend of mine turned me on to them. They only had one album. This is the best "alternative" CD I have ever heard. Very few bands of that era have the vocal and instrument talent of these guys. And no one recently except for maybe Queens of the Stone Age. Every song is great. With former Jellyfish member Jason Falkner and Jon Brion who now writes film scores (Magnolia, I heart Huckabees etc.) To catagorize it I would say it's psychadelic Beatles influenced alternative with a more modern sound. Now I have been trying out CD's from these guys solo carreers. I must say Jason Falkner's work is outstanding on his own. Jason Falkner: "Can You Still Feel" is one I'm very glad I bought. You can hear how heavily he infunced the Grays sound. Got "Author Unknown" on the way.

Frank Black came to Bellingham on Sunday night. I believe this was just a solo acoustic tour, as he plans to tour with a full band later this year. I bought my ticket ten days before the show. Monday morning I'm at work and realize I forgot to go. Actually, I'm sort of glad I didn't go. I got to bed before 11pm for the first time in a while. I needed that. Also, I'm not as familiar with his newer stuff, and tend not to like it as much, so I might not have enjoyed it as much. Still, I'm out $23, and he was right here in town and I missed it.

I picked up the soundtrack to The Last Kiss the other day, but haven't listened to it yet.
Garden State's soundtrack is one of my top 10 albums of all time, so I have high hopes for this one.

"The Last Kiss" soundtrack is another solid outing. Lots of good stuff and I loooooooove that Snow Patrol song.
