Hokay, from the top-
I'm home right now, so CDs are cheap, and I'm filling up. I grabbed a CD by a guy I used to work with, Joe Manning, which was recorded in the middle of the night in a tunnel in a park I live near, so you can hear the crickets chirping in the background. Very nice. Then, I found a copy of the Minders "The Future's Always Perfect," as well as the Duhks self-titled. The Minders is good if you like sorta bip-rock, I guess, and the Duhks is good for what it is, i.e. Bela Fleck-influenced bluegrass. A bit too.....polished for my tastes? Maybe a bit too "Nashville," rather. Then, a record store was closing down near my house, and I found a copy of the Saddle Creek "50" compilation on sale for $2.25. I found a cheap copy of local band Verktum's self-titled and then a new 3-disc Yo La Tengo compilation, "Prisoners of Love."
Also, I'm listening to a lot of T.Rex. Why didn't anyone TELL me they were really good?

I didn't know that was a secret.

I always think of T. Rex as more of a he, because really, how much did Steve Peregrine Took bring to the party?

Finally have the new Spoon album, it's awesome.  Also getting into the LCD Soundsystem bonus tracks (especially 'deceptacon'...wow) and, for the rap fans, I finally downloaded all of antipop consortium's 'arrhythmia', definitely worth a listen.

I thought earlier about what a strange world I live in when I'm really sick of Beck's "Guero" already - strange considering that it was just officially released TODAY.

Also, I cannot tell the difference between most of the tracks on the offical legal release and the leaked version, other than the best song on the album does not appear on the actual album (it's on the "Deluxe" version of the album, though, which can bite my ass).

I like Beck enough to purchase his CDs, but otherwise the best album I'm listening to is They Might Be Giant's "Here Come the ABCs".

It's not just for kids, kids.

I've seen a few clips from that on the Disney Channel, and I haven't been all that impressed.  They're OK, but not great, IMO.

TMBG does the theme song for awful Disney Channel CGI show "Higglytown Heroes."

The best kids' music artist right now is Dan Zanes.  Songs for kids that actually have some musicianship behind them.

What makes it Deluxe? Is it one of those lame-ass DualDisc things?

I love TMBG and all but No! didn't really do it for me so I haven't picked up or even heard the ABCs. It still kind of bugs me when they play Violin &c at shows where no kids are present.

I found a song by Andrew Bird on Salon a while back and liked it so much I grabbed his new album and an older one.  I'm currently enjoying them so much it's inspired me to buy all the old Squirrel Nut Zippers albums I've lost over the years.

Oh, their kids albums aren't really for kids.  Actually, I've never heard "No!" so I don't know if that one isn't as good, but "Here Come the ABCs" is their best album since John Henry as far as I'm concerned (I thought Factory Showroom and Mink Car were awful, and The Spine is only somewhat growing on me).

But ABCs is awesome.  I don't have kids (that I know of, har har) and I've been listening to it a lot.  I understand there's also a DVD with bizarre animations for the songs.  I'll have to see if Netflix carries it.

We must just have different tastes. John Henry is my least favorite album and I liked FS a lot (Mink Car was meh, but at least it's autographed and was free). I haven't heard of a DVD but No! has various little Flash bits for the songs if you put it in your computer.

I think this whole kids thing grew out of Linnell's State Songs album, which I also found underwhelming.
