Been listening to the new Sgt. Peppers re-master along with the new Black Crowes, Before the Frost and new Jet, Shaka Rock. New Crowes is good and somewhat folky like the last one. New Jet is pretty good but not like their last two. There's some 80s sounding songs but they're great. Jet has never been given proper credit for how badass they are.

Been listening to Yo La Tengo's new album, "Popular Songs" for the last couple days. Quite good, which is no surprise. Even a bad Yo La Tengo album is a great album.

Just put in for the mono Beatles box set...

I've been digging and getting my head around the Dirty Projectors. Woah. Guitar all intricate chimy clean Ali Akfar (spelling? anyway the guy who Ry Cooder did Talking Timbuktu with) meets Jimmy Page, distinctive backing vocals as chords all call and response against a trippy psuedo middle eastern lead vox approach. then bombast and dissonance. Yeah!(I think)

And at work Pat Metheny's first one with Jaco is always on. It gets the okay because it wont' bug non muzos as it can be elevator music

, but of course if you listen carefully it kills.

I'm listening to Blancmange Blind Vision. I do love me some 80's synth pop.

Teatro is a refernce for me; what a great record.

I listened to some more The Church bootleg, and to SY's newest (very good!) and Dino, Jr.'s newest (better) and to the Psych Furs Peel Sessions (stole a drum beat idear for my band) and the last 11th Dream Day and the first Constantines CD and Joe Cocker Live and the latest REM (surprisingly good, and sounds excellent when loud.)

Can y'all tell I went to the CD store?

Next up: the latest DBT live CD/DVD.

Napalm Death - John Peel Sessions. Most brutal metal album ever. seriously

Jaga Jazzist - A Livingroom Hush. The song "Animal Chin" is excellent.

I picked up John Frusciante's "Empyrean" and gave it a thorough listen yesterday. Really ambitious. Not my favorite Frusciante record, but it's solid with some interesting spots.
