Been so harried & harrassed as of late, decided to treat myself to some "new" CD's...
#1: "Look Sharp" -- Joe Jackson, original vinyl had 11 tunes, A&M re- issue has 13 (2 bonus tracks, Don't Ask Me, and You Got the Fever, U.K. Singles, appeared respectively as b-sides of One More Time & Is She Really Going Out with Him?? ). Really an excellent debut album.
And I think E.C. could realte to Happy Loving Couples...pure vitriol!!
#2: "Subterranean Jungle" -- The Ramones. Okay, maybe I'm just re-living my childhood, but I've yet to find a Ramone's tune I actually hate. These guys are just plain, good ol' fashioned fun to listen to!! How can you NOT like a song entitled: Everytime I Eat Vegetables, It Makes Me Think of You ??
#3: "Imperial Bedroom" (Rhino Re-Issue) -- Haven't had time to listen yet, but I'm sure it will be inspiring!!
Can't quite compete w/ the rest of you lot.
Where the Hell did Otis go??

CD's I bought before leaving Paris:
Jacques Dutronc- Best of
Pop à Paris- Psyché-pop et mini-jupes
Devdas soundtrack
Holden
Cali
Katerine
I just realized that I haven't even listened to half of these. But, costellopunk, I did finally get to listen to the Raveonettes, and it's a very good album. Kind of short, though.

"Strays" by Jane's Addiction. I didn't purchase it--the CD was sent to my by Capitol, so I can do a review of it for knotmag.com. Anyone who loved Jane's back in the day will really dig this new album--despite the fact that Dave Navarro fucked up Red Hot Chili Peppers and is marrying Carmen "Skanktacular" Electra, my respect for him has risen. The man can play his ass off. Perry Farrell, as always, is in top form.
I'm also waiting patiently for the record company to send me "North". I LOVE this gig!

Blue,
We should be talking about CD purchases, but I'm a cheap bastard.
I use the downloads like radio. If I like it, I buy it. If I don't it only cost 24 cents to find out.
I'm gonna get sued...

Last week I bought Weezer Maladroit on vinyl, and also The White Stripes Elephant. The former sounds better on cd, but since elephant was entirely analog in the recording and mixing, the vinyl sounds AMAZING!

Just picked up This is Where I Belong: The Songs of Ray Davies and the Kinks. It's probably the best tribute album I've heard. Standouts are Ron Sexsmith's This is Where I Belong, Steve Forbert's Starstruck, Fountains of Wayne's Better Days and Ray and Damon Albarn doing a live version of Waterloo Sunset.

Blue Chair- Muswell Hillbillies is an essential Kinks release. The Kinks predated just about every trend that would eventually come down the pike, and Muswell Hillbillies is their excellent stab at country music (before the Byrds and Stones really went there). For the later stuff, I truly feel that Give the People What They Want is one of the best albums EVER. Every single song is outstanding and Davies was in fine form writing ballads, rock, and even a couple of good pop singles.
