Given my weekend thrill over the new T4F DVD, tomorrow's new rotations will include:
T4F - Everybody Loves A Happy Ending
Oleta Adams - Evolution
Oleta Adams - Circle of One
Oleta Adams - Moving On
Star One - Space Metal

Don't tell us what you're going to listen to. Now there won't be any surprises for us next week .

I listened to some of my most recent binge this week.

British Sea Power - Open Season - I like to think that this is what Bowie might sound like if Bowie were still recording good music.

Kathleen Edwards - Back to Me - This is better than her first CD. The songs are a little more diversified and melodic. Although, her voice still falls a little flat to me in places.

Hot Hot Heat - Elevator - I like this a lot and was even surprised to realize that I knew one of the songs on this disk. Although, I have no idea where I know it from since I don't listen to the radio anymore and I'm not sure that this is getting radio play anyway (is it?).

New Pornographers - Twin Cinema - This was the real surprise of the binge for me. It was on the wall in a listening station so I put the 'fones on and hit play. It sounded kinda fun so I took it home. I LOVE THIS DISK! This has to be the most refreshing disk that I have heard since The Kaiser Chiefs took me by storm. And as you all know, I'm not a fan of too many female vocalists, but the female voice on here is unbelievably good. This is top 10 territory.

Yeah, Neko is a genuine charm. Haven't heard the latest New Porno, but her own Blacklisted from a couple years ago is a dreamy collection with Howe Gelb of Giant Sand and the Calexico boys giving her a great backing and very nice production too. Might be a bit too country for you at times, not sure, but man is she sweet.

British Sea Power - Open Season - I like to think that this is what Bowie might sound like if Bowie were still recording good music.

I thought a lot of people said the latest Bowie was pretty nice? No? Didn't pay much attention, I guess.

That Luke Doucet CD has been a hard one for me to find. I might just have to order it from Amazon.

Thanks for the offer Alan, but it's only $11.99 on Amazon.

The problem with finding this disk is the way that HMV markets it. They have about a 100 or so titles (maybe more) which they are selling as 2/$25. The problem that I've had is that I've been buying so many CDs lately that I have most of disks under this promotion that I want. And, each store has a different selection under this promotion. So, I haven't yet found an HMV store that has Luke Doucet AND something else that I want that I don't already have.

The one store that did have Luke and something else, the case for the Doucet CD was damaged. Damn cardboard packaging, you can't just replace it like a jewel case.

I'll find it eventually (or order it). But I did put it into a listening station and was very impressed with what I heard.

Reality was probably the best thing that he's put out in the last 20 years IMO. But when you have a career that is four decades old, one good disk in 20 years is pretty pathetic. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a big Bowie fan. But I'd have to say that I'm a fan of his early music. When I saw him during the Reality tour, I was quite bored when he started performing his newer (post 1983) material. Just my personal opinion, no flames please.

Now, having said that...with the influence of many people here at RR, my musical tastes have changed substantially over the last three years and how I listen to music has changed. So, perhaps it's time to go back and take another listen to some of these newer Bowie disks with my new ears. Maybe I'll feel differently about them now.
