CDs for 7/30

Just in time before a fresh batch of CDs tomorrow. Strange how you need a vacation from your vacation. It takes a bit to get back into the swing...after you have been gone for a bit.

So I finally saw Batman The Dark Knight. Yes I am the last person on Earth to have seen it. Brilliant. I still love the first part of Ironman a bit more but what a dark and wonderful movie Batman was. I understand why they "enhanced" Batman's voice but I still didn't like that. It really isn't that shocking that Heath nailed the Joker. Brilliant job just mind blowing.

I was shocked at the amount of little kids at the movie. Really? C'mon P's it was rated "PG-13"...I don't see how but it was. Yes I know the rating system is a joke but really that movie was much too intensive for youngsters.

The movie does give you quite a bit to talk about too.

On to the Music, man

Neil Halstead - Oh! Mighty Engine
Shoegaze hero, and all around great singer and songwriter turns in a very pleasant "Summer Afternoon" vibe of an album. He is the Slowdive guy and also part of the always excellent Mojave 3. On this solo project he relaxes. I claim "summer afternoon" vibe because in the heat of the day you don't really want to jump around. You want to spike your lemonade and sit on a rocking chair and listen to this cd.

Also out was
the release of George Carlin's "It's Bad for You". It is the same material as the HBO special but a different recording and maybe a better night for Carlin too. If you care Rick Springfield also released something new. Soccer moms rejoice.

More later
