I spent a lot of time in my car this past week, so I had lots of listening time. I didn't listen to anything really new though.

Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
The Honeydogs - 10,000 Years
Keane - Hopes and Fears
Jet - Get Born
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Pilate - Caught by the Window
Rheostatics - 2067
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Snow Patrol - Final Straw

I have to say that I LOVE the Playlist-On-The-Go feature on my iPod. No more trying to change CDs while driving 120 (kms) on the highway. Now I just load up a few hours of CDs or songs into a playlist, plug the iPod into my car, and I'm good for hours of driving. A question for other iPod users...can I put a playlist on shuffle? If so, how? I couldn't figure it out.

Earlier today I also listened to a couple of Mercury Rev disks borrowed from BarryL.
Deserter's Songs - Excellent disk. I really enjoyed this one.
Yerself Is Steam - What a piece of crap IMO. I actually found myself clenching my teeth a couple of times and eventually just pulled it out of the player about half way through. This one was like nails on a blackboard. I'm really glad that I listened to Deserter's Songs first. Had YIS been my first listen, I might not have given them another chance.
