Almost 2 late Tuesday thread

[Jim Clark]

Well, the day's not over yet so here goes. I'll edit in some additions to this post. Want to get it started before it get's duplicated, although nobody seems to be clammoring to get it started.

Still been enjoying that Killers CD, Hot Fuss. Very big sound coming out of this new band.

New this week was "Devin Dazzle and the Neon Fever" by Felix Da House Cat. This is one brutha that makes some music for me. New Wave delights dominate this tale of Devin as he weaves his way through the assorted entrapments of LA. Electronics are there but this time around we have some occasionally funky bass lines and some pretty cool sounding guitar work mixed in. Probably the best dance CD I've heard in a long time, but it's not a dance CD. Ultra cool hooks rule this pop heavy new wave treat.

Also grabbed Mission Of Burma's, OnOffON and was suitably impressed despite the fact that it's my first Mission Of Burma CD. Didn't really know what to expect but overall it's pretty engaging punk rock for the most part with some changeups thrown in along the way to spice things up. 15 tracks (16 if we count track 9's 15 seconds of silence, but we won't), and not really a dud in the bunch. For me things really take off with track 8 and there's not a moment of let down after that, excepting of course the already mentioned track 9. What a great CD. Punk rock fans should be flocking to this little gem. Also available in SACD and heavy duty audiophile approved vinyl but BB didn't stock either format.
