Don't forget that the 5-year old daughter of an EC fan is born with superior musical intellect! (SC)Who Shot Sam? wrote:Well, my daughter likes it. She asked me to play it on the way to and from the A&P yesterday. So it has a lot of appeal for 5-year old girls, if nothing else.verbal gymnastics wrote:I've just started listening to You Could Have It So Much Better - Franz Ferdinand.
So far it's OK but it's the difficult second album. There's a certain Franz Ferdinand sound which is good if you like it. Lyrically there seems to be a lot of humour this time.
FF is not exactly the deepest band in the world, but if you're in the mood they're an awful lot of fun.
Preacher was a talkin' there's a sermon he gave,
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved,
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
When it's you who must keep it satisfied

The first album is a great in car singalong CD.Who Shot Sam? wrote:FF is not exactly the deepest band in the world, but if you're in the mood they're an awful lot of fun.
I'm warming to the new CD.
WSS - It's good to know that I am still in touch to dig what the kids are listening to!
Who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo?

Extraordinary Machine by Fiona Apple.
It's her first album since 1999's When The Pawn and although recorded with Jon Brion a few years ago was deemed too uncommercial to release. But after her fans petitioned on http://www.freefiona.com, a reworked version of the album finally received release a few weeks ago and it's terrific.

This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.
Fiona's very, very good. I thought When The Pawn.... was underrated and maybe and if I weren't trying to be Mr. Thrifty right now, I'd probably get her new one. Tidal came out around the time of my freshman year in undergrad and it took me awhile to give her an honest listen because I was so annoyed with how every girl I knew who thought she had a real chip on her shoulder had that album and used it like a weapon. It was kind of like the Titanic soundtrack for the angst set.

You have a bottle nearby? Makes it even better. I've fallen in love with this album. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but it's right up my alley.Jackson Monk wrote:Richard Hawley's 'Coles Corner' is a great album and I've been listening to it all evening...splendid stuff

Great cover! Love the incongruous title and image. Must get this. had no idea it existed. Check out these comments:

Chiropody!
It says three songs off YCHYLF. I can only think of Wan Light and Three Cheers Fou Our Side. What am I forgetting, or is it only two?
'Felicity' can't be the OJ song again, can it?
Is this what life is all about?

"Felicity" is a new version of the OJ song. A very good album that sort of slipped between the cracks. No wonder, it's only available on a German label (the same label, by the way, that issued Shack's hard-to-find Waterpistol).Otis Westinghouse wrote:Great cover! Love the incongruous title and image.

The chiropody thing is pretty funny. Reminds me a little bit of the great New Jersey indie band The Wrens, three of whom work for the drug company Pfizer, if I'm not mistaken.
