Yet Another Good One

Sorry I am so late on this but I will blame the wedding. Hell I just got the other weeks up. Tomorrow I'll try to get CD of last Month up. I think I already know which one.

Ready? Here we go...

Wolf Parade - At Mount Zoomer
No sophomore slump here. More like a kick a$ follow up CD. Tighter and more mature. Usually in a review if you print "more mature" it's code for "not as good" or "safe". In this case it's almost the opposite. It's confidence more than anything. I think. No immediate "grabber" tunes but this one is one hell of a "grower". Hit repeat and soon this one wouldn't leave the cd changer.

Coldplay - Viva La Vida
What no covers of Ricky Martin? That would have been too cool. Maybe they are saving that for a B side. I'd buy that for a dollar. Not a knockout just another quite solid Coldplay cd. No big changes just classic sounding.

David Bowie - Live in Santa Monica 1972
There may have been better concerts but this one is on tape. This is "The Spiders From Mars" at the top of their game and it's on tape.

Denis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue (Legacy Edition)
The pretty one. The professional party animal. The other Wilson brother. Luckily we can re-write a bit of history with this re-issue. A very strong and sadly under-rated cd. Enjoy it now with bonus material.

Also check out:
Tilly and the Wall and the latest from the Notwist. If you have little ones Jason Falkner has "Bedtime with the Beatles PT2". Speaking of re-issues look for Sebadoh's "Bubble and Scrape" with bonus tracks.

More later
