slink, i found a cd i had forgtenn i had, cevin key's the ghosts of the rooms or something.

Oooh. Cool. I been meaning to track down more cEvin Key stuff, among well, all the others (Tear Garden, more Ritalin &c). It seems to have gotten some favourable reviews...

If you were considering the usual, it may be worth holding off a week or so, since that will be when our broadband connection is hooked up. That said, it doesn't affect you so much either way.

i think there was only the one ritalin release. but i might be wrong.

amazon reviewers make the obvious connection that the singer sounds like the guy from radiohead, but one of them makes a connection to Queen i would not have heard but now that i think about it is apparent.

Muse definitely sounds like Queen, bombastically speaking.

And no, i'm not back.  I think it's just impossible.  I miss you guys.

Paul! Eeeeek! Dude!

There is certainly Queen in there. Which is weird. Simialrly Chris Cornell's solo album has a certain amount of Queen in there. It's a fantastic album (Disappearing One has the finest intro of anything ever), a lot more subdued than Soundgarden, and an incredible show for Cornell's voice.
Saying you can get sick of Absolution was a little unfair. I hadn't listened to it in a long time, but this spurred me to again. And I am enjoying it a lot. Hysteria is probably the highlight for me. I just love that track!

[arkabee]

when i say "listen to it until i am sick of it" i mean that  put the cd in the car and play the mp3's at my desk until i can not longer deal with it, regardless of what it is.

it's kind of a test.  for instance, one listen with many fast forwards of The Postal Service versus 2 straight days of this muse thing.

you'd think i'd be ab;e to remember lyrics, though.

Aight, CD round-up. I grabbed a $3 copy of Spoon's "Kill the Moonlight"; this is, in fact, the third Spoon CD I've ever bought, and the first one that I've actually sorta liked. Everyone kept telling me that Spoon was awesome, and I never even got "interesting" from them until this CD. I also got the new Handsome Boy Modeling School album, "White People," which is pretty awesome, and "Songs the Cramps Taught Us, Vol. 2," which is a bootleg CD with about 25 original songs later covered, in some way, by the Cramps. It is pretty delish.

I don't know if I've ever asked this, but:

Has anyone else ever seen the Cramps video that takes place in some sort of asylum, or something. I remember seeing it quite a long time ago - maybe 15 years or so? That could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure it was before my 1st marriage. Anyway, I found it disturbing.

Aw, Spoon ARE rad.  And Kill The Moonlight has "The Way We Get By", and that song can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned.  The Cramps thing sounds pretty rad, too, though I think that a lot of their covers improved on the originals... they certainly ruined the actual "Route 66" for me.

God damn it!  We need to get Paul a new computer.

[AlohaDawg]

I'd throw some spare change on that cause.

I think I know what you're getting next CD round...

Hm hm... as for music, well, everything I've ever liked this year can be summarised here

...the last album I purchased was sometime at the end of last month.  Jesus and Mary Chain - Automatic.  instant hit.  of course, I had some mp3s before, so I wasn't surprised.

Also, speaking of Spoon... Girls Can Tell is my absolute fav. I must say.

what is it that you like about J&MC?

also, the screaming trees are gods amongst pop bands.

Damn straight! Dust in particular being my favourite. But then I'm somewhat biased, as I love everything Lanegan's been involved in!

It's 'cause they're pretty hott.. it sounds like the type of music one would play if they were in a mood.  lines like "Baby you drive me crazy / Don't come around here no more" ..really 'Between Planets' is my fav.  I also have Psycho Candy after hearing the Honey song on the Lost in Translation sndtrk.  this one is more straight forward than that one though.

d'you not like them?

Okay, I shall definitely look into getting some screaming trees soon!
