Otis: Bloc Party, M.I.A. and that Gorillaz thing. Mariah Carey's Shake It Off was fun, and I know she's the Most Vapid Pop Star or whatever. I'm only halfway thru and your friends FF just popped up with Do You Want To? and something called Art Brut was kinda amusing.

Jack Johnson is ....nice. Mostly acoustic, a little sun-washed. I find it very pleasant. This sounds like faint praise, but it's not.

click on music and you can listen for yourself! I really like the first album, with Inaudible Melodies, Flake, and Bubble Toes being particular faves.

I ordered that one weeks ago, along with the Sufjan record, hoping they'd get here by xmas. No such luck yet and I'm getting annoyed. I love the first two Creosotes.

Dipping into that Brel box I got from my sister. Great great stuff...

I remember loving (and being vaguely frightened by) their clip for 'Guilty You Found Me'. I've always thought it would be fun to cover that song...

The Smiths from Irvine Meadows, Laguna Hills, CA, Aug 28 1986. great recording, great set, band at top of their game. A famed bootleg for Morrissey berating an over-zealous security guard during I Know It's Over ('Leave him alone you stupid moron!'). Right now it's How Soon Is Now? Lovely indeed.

Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know your part'll go fine.
Fly down to Mexico.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am,
The only living boy in New York.
I get the news I need on the weather report.
I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.
Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da here I am
The only living boy in New York

Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
And we don't know where.

Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know that you're eager to fly now.
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da
Like it shines on me
The only living boy in New York,
The only living boy in New York.

Matthew Sweet's Living Things

Lucinda Williams' World Without Tears.

Sorry, I have no picture to post, but this thread looks enough like a Denny's menu already.

Hey Goody, how did the Flamenco CDs go down?

Who Shot Sam? · Post by **Who Shot Sam?** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 12:01 am

Great, raucous garage...

The Witch should be compulsory for new bands to cover.

Now you're talking! Thanks for that, made me drag out my Sonics stuff and listen. For a great tribute album, check out Here Ain't the Sonics- you'll get your Mudhoney and Young Fresh Fellows and other Seattle types covering the Northwest's most beloved grunge grandpas.

Very well, thank you. I got him the Paco de Lucia Antologia you recommended, both 1 and 2, and also one called Legends of Gypsy Flamenco or something like that, which sounded impossibly cheesey to me, but he says it is good.

Belle & Sebastian covering "Here Comes The Sun".
What a fine band !

I picked up a CD of The Stranglers Rattus Norvegicus in Tesco today for £2.97

It's worth full price in any event just for the line in Ugly that says "It's only due to your fucking wealth that you tend to be good looking".
