A few weeks of gold

Had a glorious time with the Fam for the Thanksgiving break. Now it's time for catch up. We did the whole big "need to do NYC" things. Empire State, WTC, The Balloon blowup the night before the parade, McSorley's and The Little Mermaid. McSorley's was sans kids.


On to the music

We will start with 11.25

The Fireman - Electric Arguments

Paul McCartney hasn't sounded this good in ages. 3rd time Youth and Paul join forces for The Fireman. Perfect? No but that is why it's such a glorious listen.

Los Campesinos - We are beautiful We are Doomed

More hectic and wonderfully wild music from this group. No sophomore slump. In fact, a major jump forward.

Death Cab For Cutie - Something about Airplanes (Deluxe Edition)

To celebrate the 10th year of this cd coming to life they have released it with a bonus disc of DCFC's first concert in Seattle.

Other releases
A leftover EP from Coldplay that is quite good. The Killer's third CD which is a major letdown. If this cd were their first no one would be around listening to them. They would be waiting tables. Scott Weiland goes solo and it's decent. Maybe OK. Hopefully you got your free Dr Pepper because GNR finally released Chinese Democracy. It was going to be impossible for this cd to be great. File it as OK right with Weiland.

Now for the Gold on 12.02

Neil Young - Sugar Mountain Live at Canterbury House

Neil before he was way super famous. I would get Massey Hall First though.

Other releases
Not much here. We'll wait until next week unless Britney floats your boat and in that case you are probably at the wrong site. Although the live disc by Panic at the Disco is quite good. Odd because they are only two cds into their career but I love that they are doing that. I think more bands should follow the Pearl Jam way and start getting all their music out. Fans want more...so give them more.
