Electric Version - The New Pornographers

Von Sudenfed - Tromatic Reflexxions
German duo Mouse on Mars teams up with Mark E Smith of The Fall, the former exploring some interesting pop and acoustic leanings, as well as airing some b-list material that would have tainted a straight MoM release, the latter's slurring vocals getting time-stretched and delayed until just another buzzing cog in the thumping machine. Overall, quite an entertaining experiment.

Regarding QOTSA live, they always sound great in TV performances (SNL and the recent Rollins Show particularly, I'm sure they're on YouTube) but I was disappointed by the their set opening for NIN in '05, which seemd to be mostly jams rather than album tracks. Maybe I caught them on an off night, but if you are hoping to hear "Sick, Sick, Sick", much less an older gem like "Lost Art of Keeping a Secret", don't hold your breath.

I saw NIN on that tour and Queens were okay, like you said, but I was there to see NIN and wasn't really paying much attention to Queens. I am hoping since, reportedly, they are both doing full sets (them and Rage Against The Machine) I am hoping they will do a "normal" setlist...I think they are a pretty good band, enough to buy a couple of their CDs, but as with NIN, I am going primarily to see Rage since I never got to see them when they were aroudn the first time...but thanks for thinking about me Mr. Suave....

...haven't bought any CDs lately gonna wait for all the goodies I got coming from E-bay before I go nuts again... 

"Every day holds a new beginning and every hour holds the promise of an Invitation to Love." 

Hallelujah! subHUMAN by Recoil was bumped up but then apparently bumped back because it arrives tomorrow!! Woo-f-ing-hoo!  

Furnace Room Lullaby - Neko Case

in leiu of 2cats praises of this songstress...The new, new, New Pornographers CD comes out on the 21st. You might as well chalk that one up to Smokey too and doing a little online research reveals they are doing two shows at the Metro in October. Cool!!

I just bought The Essential Leonard Cohen because I lent all my Cohen to an ex-boyfriend a couple years ago and never got them back and have been relying on the few MP3's I'd ripped to my PC plus some half-assed compilations a friend made for me. Now I'm in a full-on Cohen-withdrawal (complete with shakes and night sweats) and needed my fix. Woo!

Additional bonus: I ordered Inland Empire at the same time as Cohen so I got a mailbox full of goodness when the shipment arrived. Shiny.

Drastic Fantastic - KT Tunstall

From the first track, you can tell that this is upping the sonic ante a bit from her last album. I doubt this will take its predecessor's spot in my heart, but I dig the sound.

Reveal - R.E.M.

My initial reaction to this album is... Yawn. It might grow on me like Up, or it might get put in the "rare rotation" pile with Out of Time.

The Envoy and Stand in the Fire

Two recent Warren Zevon rereleases. Aside from some troublesome early 80's synthesizers on the former, they both rock. Though none of the songs on Envoy are nearly as memorable as, say, Excitable Boy's tracks. "Ain't That Pretty At All" was better rendered by The Pixies on a Zevon tribute album.

Release The Stars- Rufus Wainwright

Annoyingly over-orchestrated on most of these songs. "Going to a Town", which was released as a single, is the one really notable exception.
