CDs of gold for 02.10.09

hey I finally got up a new Link o Fun. I think it's a good one. I really wanted to post Eddie Vedder doing the karaoke thing at the Best Western during baseball fantasy week but it's already taken down. I bet if you google it you might be able to find it somewhere. Yellow Cub Marines indeed.

On to the tunes.

Lily Allen - It's not Me, It's You
Nice anti Seinfeld title. Dance-y rock from the UK you already know her or maybe of her but man oh man is she huge overseas. It is a bit more than pure sugar.

Dan Auerbach - Keep It Hid
Another smashing Bluesy monster of a cd from this Ohio dude. He is best known from the Black Keys. On this one he plays pretty much every noise. It is glorious.

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks: Live at the Hollywood Bowl
No overdubs just a classic album live and in full color.

Also out
The 20th anniversary of Paul's Boutique by The Beastie Boys. Nothing added just remastered but a great reminder of the times. Probably the last great "Stolen Sound" cd because after this CD came out - the lawyers came out and after anyone that sampled anything. They had moved out to LA and this was their NYC love letter. For stay-at-home producers check out the bonus cd of Ben Folds "Stems and Seeds". Jorma Kaukonen has a new one too. Miranda Lee Richards turns in a good, soft alt-pop record.

New cds from last week

First off thanks for coming out to the NEXT charity concert series. I will have a complete review of the show soon. It was almost a complete disaster luckily saved by the glorious Evan Toth. Thanks man.

Anyway. On to the tunes.

The Heartless Bastards - The Mountain
Indie punk rock with a tinge of country from Austin via Ohio. 3 main members (but only one leftover from their first two cds) and a bunch of friends make glorious noise.

Ben Kweller - Changing Horses
Boy kid rock genius goes full out country and it sounds great.

Also check out:
The jazz trio The Bad Plus and their latest rock covers. The Fray release another cd of the same cd. Play it safe. Don't mess with a winning streak guys. Nice job. Now for the fans of loud, fuzzy, and heartfelt indie noise pop check out the Pains of Being Pure of Heart. Jim White has a great live ep out too.
