Anyway, none of this is helping AD and Wombat. 

Actually that pandora.com thing is helping.  I might be about to buy a CD of a guy I never heard of before.  And even if not, it ends up being like a radio station I can listen to that isn't constantly annoying.

Agreed on Pandora.  Best music-recommendation service I've encountered thus far.  The only downside is that you can't go back to a song--no re-listening, according to the terms of their license.

This year I liked a lot of music.

But at the same time, this year was a boiling point for my social relationship with music.

I wanted to be through with pretense, through with statement music, through with musicians that honestly sounded like they did not like what they were doing.

So my album of the year was Bang Bang Rock and Roll by Art Brut. Just because it was everything escapist I was looking for. It was fun from start to finish. It was funny as hell. And it seriously rocked. So yes.

I also love their ad: Radio that lets you turn down the suck.

So are you gonna share with us the name of the artist you like so much?

Every time I try to answer this question the board freezes up.  Maybe it's an omen that I shouldn't buy the CD after all.  It is a singer songwriter guy from Austin called Bob Schneider, I think.  I'm not sure I like him 'so much', but coming from Austin is like, a good pedigree, right?

Cripes. Even I have a cd by this guy. He's not bad. Jingy is the track that got me (about a monkey... named Jingy...).

I enjoy Maroon. It is a good CD. Other than that, I can't really speak to BNL.

I enjoy them, but I wonder if maybe they've been a victim of both being overplayed and taking themselves too seriously.

Their concert was one of the more enjoyable ones I've been to. Great live band. Very interactive.

I'm a BNL fan but I don't know anything that came out post-Maroon. From what I've seen the earlier stuff is funnier and the later stuff is mellower. You may have heard The Old Apartment, One Week, and/or If I Had $1,000,000.

I agree about the live shows. I've seen them 3 times and it was always very fun.
