It might be election day but it's still a Tuesday

[Jim Clark]

I'll rock the vote-right here!!!

Watcha been groovin' to?

For myself I gotta lay claim to that M83 I posted about. Also grabbed the new Assemblage 23 album entitled Storm. Personally I liked the previous A23 album better and considered that one close to a perfect album. This one's still very new so I won't dismiss it.

Other listens:

Halloween 04-Wish Hyfi's would have shown up. Also played all of the other Halloween comps. There's an awesome "best of" disc in there.

Pavement- Slanted And Enchanted: Luxe And Reduxe. Holly cow, talk about your basic "expanded edition". 48 Cuts on this 2 disc gem. This is what anniversary editions want to be.

Sinead O'Connor- She Who Dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High Shall Abide Under the Shadow of the Almighty

Elvis Costello-Trust-Rhino Remaster. They did a marvelous job on these!
Interpol-Antics

Razorlight- Up All Night. Still think this could be the sleeper R-n-R album of the year

Stan-Snakebit

Siouxise and the Banshees-several while looking forward to the new box set and the remasters which will be released in 2005. About time and good gracious I'm going to need to pick up more hours to pay for all of this.

Otis Taylor-Respect The Dead. Been working on a Blues Comp for over a year now. Finding this album will really help flesh it out. Why do I like it??? Good question. From AMG" Taylor doesn't work within standard blues structures, and his lyrics stray far from the standard blues lines to encompass history and mythology. Where others seem content with the established limits, Taylor is pushing them further and further -- and in doing so, he's making some of the most exciting music around."

Lots more to be sure. Had to take the lovely Caravan in to Maaco so I borrowed my Dad's truck for a couple of days. No CDP-tape only. Listened to several cassette only albums in my collection. Had some Yes (some live album and I do like a couple of tracks), Ted Nugent, Lords Of The New Church, Modern English, and even Rod Stewart from his 80's releases which I enjoy much more than his other stuff.
