Way super late Gold Star CDs

It's not like I have a good excuse for being so late. No Super Hoopla but a ton of snow. Does that count? Since I brought up the Super Bowl I guess I want AZ to win.

On to the tunes

Bruce Springsteen - Working on a Dream
Obviously drinking the happy Obama kool aid because he sounds joyful and hopeful on this cd. Great cd but where's my old Bruce? Plus I'm not really happy he did the whole buy this Greatest Hits only at Walmart thing. Dude you use to rip on people that did that and I wouldn't even get into the fact that most of Bruce's old songs boldly went against everything that Walmart is.

Louis Armstrong - Satchmo at the Pasadena
Great re-issue of a live show but sadly not the whole show but oh so worth it.

Mark Olsen/ Gary Louris - Ready for the flood
This is a forever cd. One you'll listen to again and again for the rest of your life. It will be a cd that years later you'll be cleaning out your collection and find it and put it on and just sigh that great music is still made.

Franz Ferdinand - Tonight
A slight return to glory. Get the party started.

The Bird and the Bee - Ray Guns are not just the Future
Edgier then say your normal Grey's Anatomy song but ready for major consumption.

Paul McCartney - Live at Ameba
Like the Satchmo cd not the complete live show. This ep has 4 of the 20 songs Sir Paul performed. He sounds great on this cd. er EP.

Also check out:
More covers from Pat DiNizio. This time he takes on Buddy Holly. Loney Dear is back with more out of left field electric campfire songs. Hey look at this another Strokes side project Nickel Eye. Duncan Sheik has a new collection of non-Broadway tunes out too and check out the re-issues of the Volcano Suns. Raising from the ashes of The Babyshambles is Roses Kings Castles with super slow-mo gentle grooves.

More later

CDs for 10.02.07

Bruce Springsteen - Magic
BRUUUUUUUUCE.












Chuck Prophet - Soap and Water
This is soundtrack of forever. As in you'll listen to this cd for the rest of your life. It's swampy blues/R&B/rock with blips and beeps. Understated beauty.









John Ralston - Sorry Vampire
Indie rock in it's finest form or maybe closer to sedated power pop. A nice discovery that just might pass up his glorious first cd.









PJ Harvey - White Chalk
Bye Bye guitar (Mostly)
Hello piano
Bye Bye pissed off growl of a vox
Hello "Church Voice"
