I listened to a lot of interesting stuff this week, but mostly stuff that has been discussed to death here (Andrew Bird, Interpol, etc.).

Pick of the Week
A few nights ago, I picked up Stars Die, the 2-CD retrospective of Porky Tree's work on the Delerium label, and I've been listening to it pretty much non-stop since. Some extremely trippy shiat here, I must say. Voyage 34 and Up the Downstair will do some things to your head. And Fadeaway is now one of my favorite PT tracks. And 2 loaded discs for $17 seems a pretty good deal, especially since I only had 2-1/2 of the 21 tracks already. Thumb's up, so far.

Along with In Absentia and Deadwing, plus that outstanding "best of" comp by Jar, I think I now have enough Tree to last me a while.
