Already a great start to the new year. Music is dead? You have to kidding me. This is the best time to be alive. There is more good music being made today then ever. Count yourselves lucky. You want Mozart... you've got him. You want Zeppelin...you've got them. You want Charles Mingus...you've got him. You want new music...you've got NEXT and thousands of other choices online. It is a brilliant time to be alive if you love music.
OK sorry about the mini rank. Some good stuff that came out yesterday. You know things you should check out. Sample and buy.
Bob Mould - District Lines
Welcome back godfather of Alt-rock. This is a glorious mix of all of Bob's past. You've got the stripped down acoustic of Workbook, the pop rush of Sugar, the massive attack of Husker Du and the beeps and blips of Modulate. It's everything you love about Bob.
Kelley Stoltz - Circular
Some great pop music here...and pop music being what is was in the beginning. Not American idol but early Beatles. Pop music is not a dirty word but it has been stolen. We want it back.
Sheryl Crow - Detours
We could almost call this the Wednesday Night Music Club. She revisits the general feel of her first cd. It's good..
Nada Surf - Lucky
Not as classic as their last two (which are must own cds) but seriously brilliant soccer mom music. Brew some tea and enjoy.
Otis Taylor - Recapturing the Banjo
The Banjo. The Blues. The Guests. This cd has them all.
Also release but not quite gold is Jack Johnson and Jason Collett and Josh Ritter Live and Lightspeed Champion. Oh and Say Hi which now that I am typing that might be gold. Oh well. And for the kids They Might Be Giants have a new one "Here Comes the 1,2,3s"
