I’m really not neglecting the blog its just far down on my list of blogs to update. One thing I can relay to everyone is that I’ve been stuck wit the same 100 songs in my iPod phone for the past month without access to my home PC. I had to download iTunes to my work laptop and burn all the CDs I’ve been slowly bringing into the office and finally got an update to my cell.
What’s playing now?
Audioslave, Revelations: Here’s a revelation, this album sucks. I’ll still listen because the last two Audioslave albums grew on me. Let’s hope there’s something I want to grow on me here.
Thom Yorke, Eraser: Not a good “walking to work in downtown Chicago” album because only a few tracks are upbeat and loud enough to cover the din of city life. Still a great album though.
Strike Anywhere, Dead FM: Not as good as their last disc but still good, hard punk rock. This time it’s more melodic and I think that actually damages the group’s sound. The last track, a real slow one, is painfully off course for them. Most of it is pretty rocking though.
The Mars Volta, Amputechture: I hated The Mars Volta’s (is that like The Ohio State University?) first record. Perhaps I was too pissed off at the end of At The Drive-In, but I just never got into it. Luckily $9 price tags at Best Buy keeps me buying their discs and after their live album I’m more of a fan. Now the group has finally put together that break through disc that shows the proper balance of psychedelic guitars and hard charging rhythm. Highly recommended.
Dirty Pretty Things, Waterloo to Anywhere: They’re British. I got the disc free. It’s pretty good. Mostly it’s just filler between everything else.
Old stuff also on there: Pearl Jam, Greatest Hits; Nebula, Apollo.
