I had somewhat of a roadtrip (but to a seminar for work) this past weekend, so I got some listening in on the road, plus had some listening time at home too:

Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter - Oh, My Girl
Reminds me somewhat of Cat Power with a bit of a country twang. Very very good on first listen, but definitely not pick-me-up music.

Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse
This is alright, but I really wish their songs on this one were about 2 minutes shorter each. I tend to be really wishing the songs are over by the time the ending comes. Not a good sign probably, but I need to spend more time with it.

The Glands - s/t
What a great one of pretty much straight-up indie rock. Supposedly they're done recording a new album, so hopefully we'll see something soon from these guys.

Elliott Smith - either/or
One of my clients mentioned how much he likes XO, but that that's the only one he's heard. I told him he should get either/or, and I think I've listened to this 3 times since that. What a great record - better with each listen.

Franz Ferdinand - s/t
Great, catchy pop. What a fun album.

Gary Myrick and the Figures - Living In a Movie
I found this used and on first listen, doesn't move me.

Social Distortion - Mommy's Little Monster

Animal Collective - Sung Tongs
Damn, this is strange. Not sure what to think of this one yet.

Espers - s/t

Heatmiser - Mic City Sons

Mclusky - The Difference...

Wire - Pink Flag

Deerhoof - Milk Man

Rogue Wave - Out of the Shadow
