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.
More later

Gold Star CDs for 09.18.07
So today there are probably three CDs that stand above the rest.
Eddie Vedder with The OST or Official Sound Track for Into The Wild.
This is just Eddie no PJ but he sounds good and you already know if you dig him or not. The movie is based on the book.
Bella - No One Will Know
Some of the best Indie Pop out there today. If that sentence made you grin than this CD should put a smile upon your face. If that sentence means nothing to you it may be time to stretch your musical horizon a bit.
KT Tunstall - Drastic Fantastic
How cool would it be if she did do drastic instead of safe? If you are a fan of KT's from before here is more of the same. I am not calling it bad in fact I like her quite a bit but she could have called it Part Two. She really is in a no win situation. Do you keep the Grassroots people that first discovered you happy or do you aim for the "hey I just heard this cool tune on American Idol" people happy. Someone wiser than I once said something like, "if you aren't pissing someone off you're not doing your job". On this album she tries not to piss anyone off and if you play not to lose rather than to win you usually end up losing. Lord knows the one thing she will not be losing will be the MONEY.
