I'll have to check it out.

Leaders was quite something, and I went into this new one with lesser expectations. It's a really good album so far, but if I still listen to it as much as the former one I'll be surprised, but not my much.

Spoon's "The Underdog".

It sort of reminds me of Billy Joel--and I really can't stand Billy Joel--but damn if this isn't some catchy stuff. It's probably got something to do with the horns.

It's great.

Also, just got the Deluxe Edition of Tears for Fears' Songs From The Big Chair, and I cannot stop listening to Head Over Heels....

Head Over Heels is a a great, great song. I must have listened to it a couple of hundred times in recent years and it still sounds great.

Damn straight (F)lannigan's Ball!

The Dropkicks song that has really been slapping me around lately however is Famous For Nothing, which I may eventually add to my long mental list of Personal Theme Songs(tm).

If you wanna hear a fucking incredible traditional cover by a lesser-known Celtic rock band, check out The Foggy Dew by the Young Dubliners.

I'd forgotten how much I loved this song. Found the CD in a stack of stuff I thought I had sold years ago.

Why the hell can a song that
a) doesn't have a melody
b) has the most brainless lyrics this side of KISS
c) isn't even remotely the type of music I like

be playing constantly in my head? I'm talking about WORK! by Kelly "fuck you" Rowland.

Fantastic album. I'm particularly fond of "Everything Right is Wrong Again" and "Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head."

Fun fact: "Everything Right is Wrong Again" was used over the end credits of the Steve Buscemi/Jon Glover classic, Ed and His Dead Mother.

It has the most amazing non-solo solo ever. Reminds me alot of something out of an 8-bit Nintendo song.

I've never been much of a fan, but Death Cab's new single, in all it's 8 minute glory, "I Will Possess Your Heart" is legitimately ownin' me. But I'm a sucker for long instrumentals.

Animal Collective's "Peacebone" is stuck in my brain today. I wish I could figure out what those fucking words are in the chorus. Kid fight? Kid flying? Insight? Insides?

Inspired by recent events I put that "Tibet Freedom Concert" sampler from back in the 90`s on again.

And now I can´t get the live version of "Electrolite" performed by Stipes out of my head or mp3 player. Haunting yet beautiful.

I'm loving "Love Vigilantes" by New Order, as well as "Ooh La La" by Goldfrapp. I must be in some kind of electronic dance music mood.
And the theme song to Police Academy is forever stuck in my head, coming up at weird times, like when I'm stuck in traffic or taking an exam.

"Skin of the Night" off the new M83.

Such a blissful 80s style song that really takes me back. Seeing as I was born in 1985, I'm not quite sure where exactly that is, but the song is gorgeous.

Not the coolest song or band in the world, but I've been listening to Still Life by Suede quite a bit this week. I love the Phantom of the Opera-style grandness of it. Its so over the top, but quite wonderful at the same time.

I'm really digging Colin Hay's acoustic versions of "Down Under", "Overkill", and "Who Can it Be Now".

After hearing "Overkill" on Scrubs, I discovered Colin had an album called "Man @ Work", with reworked Men at Work songs.

Saw Colin in Calgary a few years ago. Still one of my favourite concerts ever. Just a great, fun evening filled with pretty nifty pop songs.

"Will You Be Around", from Platinum Weird, the fake 70s band that was a project of Dave Stewart's a few years back. As evidenced by my superduper neverending love for the Pipettes, I'm a fan of modern musicians doing music in a retro style, and I really dig this song. I think it does the whole "forgotten singer of the Fleetwood Mac era" thing really well.

Editors An End Has A Start has been running through my head pretty much non-stop for the last few days. Prior to that, I was Purple Toupees's bitch for a little while, no doubt helped by all the TMBG love this site has exuded lately.

Pretty much the whole damn album is brilliant. The follow-up album was kinda meh, but then again, it's difficult to top one of the best album of the last 10-15 years, at the very least electronically speaking. Live, it's a bit expensive, but oh so brilliant, especially the Mezzanine tracks.

"Jerusalem" by Sleep has been keeping me going for the last few days.

For those that don't know, it's a 52 minute doom/stoner metal song. I've been playing it ad nauseam.

"Winter" - The Dodo's
"Kim & Jessie" - M83
"Lovely Allen" - Holy Fuck

The Pipettes are so great. I saw them last year and they did not disappoint. It's a shame that 2/3 of the members just left. Doesn't really matter since Monster Bobby and the Cassettes are still behind the scenes, but still.

The thing about the Pipettes is that all three of the girls have personality (Rosay, will you be my girlfriend?), but the band has gone through numerous changes since they started. None of the original girls are still with the group. And as I mentioned to James, can you tell me who were in the Shangri-Las? The Crystals? It completely fits with their manifesto to give the girls personality, but also allow them the freedom to leave -- the "girls" together are more important than the girls individually. The sound is what matters.

Anyway, I'm totally digging "World Spins Madly" by the Weepies. I'm so, so easy.

In deference to Ripoll's knowledge, I went back to the Mountain Goats' Autoclave off Heretic Pride and I'm glad I did.

Though I'm still scratching the gold off M83. Me likey the 80s.

"Do you believe in the West World?" by Theatre of Hate. A goth interpretation of a spaghetti western score. With a saxophonist playing tastefully.
