Seemed like a lot of newbies roaming around the last couple weeks that wanted to confess their weekly musical sins, so here's your chance boys and girls! Whacha been listening to this past week, or name something that has really floated away your boat, or just rip into someone else's obvious lack of musical taste. No holds barred. Dog eat dog. Life in the foodchain - where are you now Tonio when we need you?

Hey, just got this new one from Lockgroove last night and, and, yowser, it sure sounds good so far! Very nice for waking up with a cup and spending way too much time on the computer while I should be getting ready for work type of music. It does have a lot more of a pop sound, kind of like the Autolux album that I also like a lot. And a more upbeat version of that Secret Machines. But these guys are a little more special to me. Definitely worth checking out if you like this kind of music. Think along the lines of Ride and My Bloody Valentine and all the poppy shoegazers, but sometimes mixed up with a little George Harrison from All Things Must Pass. Not exactly the Beatles era George, but the one after. Some Dusk at Cubist Castle in the mix for the OTC fans here, but you stll have some of that Jesus & Mary Chain too. Pretty cool. Still, I've only got in two listens so don't put too much weight on what I say....nice 4.5 star review at AMG thast says all the right words if you click on the cover below



Also some other stuff like

Pixies - Doolittle / Surfer Rosa (had to spin some Pixies after the fun Austin City Limits show the other night)
Violent Femmes
Fiery Furnaces EP
Notwist - Neon Golden
Vetiver (lots of Vetiver - it gets better all the time)

Your turn. Don't be shy. Only a couple of us bite, and not very hard either.
