Released cds this week



Fleet Foxes - Self Titled
Wonderful harmonies...you can hear the ghost of Brian Wilson on this CD. A glorious blend of British Folk with Indie Pop sensibilities.

Sam Phillips - Don't Do Anything
One of the great under-rated singers and/or performers of music around. She is lovely. Go ahead...take a listen and fall in love then start on her back catelog. How is she not on the radio? Well even if she isn't on the radio she should at least get a few spins on shuffle on you iPod.

Aimee Mann - Smilers
A "Grabber" of a CD: meaning she doesn't make you work hard to listen or "get it". "Grabber" the opposite of a "grower". "Grower" being a cd you need to listen to a CD few times before you think "damn this is one fine cd". She helps you along with big, poppy hooks and brilliant,bright production. Luckily she is on the radio. Thank you 80s one hit wonder.

Dr John - The City that Care Forgot
He is one pissed off musician. He is also a great musician with famous friends like Eric Clapton and Willie Nelson. He is a New Orleans guy so one guess as to the "City" that Care forgot.

Also
The Futureheads - This is Not the World. They have a nice Clash sound with that post punk dance beat thing going on too. Just download a few key tracks. You'll be fine with that. Radiohead - Best of... really?!? I know it's just a money grab but c'mon if you are friend of Radiohead you already own their hits. Throw the people a bone. Give them B sides or something. A bit silly unless you really, really need all the best known Radiohead tunes in one case. Or maybe your burner is acting funny or you are a bit too lazy.

More later
