The Microphones - The Glow Pt. II, one of the most complex and beautiful CDs in recent years, on par with the Flaming Lips, but much rawer.
Doug Martsch - the man who brought us Built To Spill, out with a solo CD of him basically singing blues songs on an acoustic guitar. Good stuff, but only if you've already listened your Built to SPill Cds into the ground.
The Best of Solomon Burke - For when the lights go out...
Anybody else hearing new tunes today?
My turntables might wobble but they don't fall down.
Too bad it was Korn and Manson, and I had to listen to all of it before making the CDs to make sure it was the right stuff.
One of them wanted Tool, though, so she's a winner. :)
Good ol' Santa left yours truly Old 97's "Early Tracks," which is an EP of good ol' fashioned honky-tonk stuff that they used to do before they went a bit more poppy. I like both their sounds, but this early stuff is a trip.
He also left me "Black and White Night," a tribute concert to Roy Orbison in which Roy himself is the star attraction and is backed by the Billion Dollar Band, which includes Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, Springsteen, and other cool-ass people. So, I'd say I made out like a bandit.
They should push Batista as the RAW monster and have D-VON DUDLEY beat Brock Lesnar and become the Smackdown monster and have a big payoff fight on PPV.
Those two are the future of pro-wrestling.

This is why I like boards like this--everyone's got their own opinion, and no one belittles it.
CDs are signed, sealed, and delivered in provided case in order according to release date, complete with neatly typed and printed tracklists so they know what they're listening to.
Included CDs: Tool - Opiate Tool - Undertow Tool - Ænima Tool - Salival Tool - Lateralus Korn - Korn Korn - Life is Peachy Korn - Follow the Leader Korn - Issues Korn - Untouchables Marilyn Manson - Portrait of an American Family Marilyn Manson - Smells like Children Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals Marilyn Manson - Holy Wood
Now, how long should I keep the Korn and Manson on my PC (In case there's a problem with any of the CDs) before sending it off into the depths and never listening to it again? I'm thinking it's a month. It's a lot of CDs to listen to.
I got Camper Van Beethoven's "Cigarettes & Carrot Juice - The Santa Cruz Years" which is a boxed set of their out of print first few albums and some assorted other "rarities."
The Alarm - "Live - the King Biscuit Flower Hour."
I also got the Beastie Boy's Criterion Collection DVD.
Santa left me $70 in HMV gift certificates, so I mozeyed on down and picked up Red Letter Days by the Wallflowers, The Best of Bond...James Bond and the Essential Bob Dylan. Awesome awesomeness.

All in all, I wound up with the Nirvana greatest hits album, the Run DMC greatest hits album, the Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" and, coolest of cool, the "GTA: Vice City" box set. I don't think I'll ever put the Espontoso CD on, but...
That Beastie Boys DVD is awesome. Moby's remix of "Alive" is the only thing he's ever done that I've really enjoyed.

"If you go out with a girl and they say she has a great personality, she's ugly. If they tell you a guy works hard, he can't play a lick. Same thing." -- Charles Barkley
Santa won't be officially visiting until Tuesday, but I'm pretty sure he's leaving me the 5-disc version of New Order's "Retro" along with some other stuff...I'll tell you next year. ;-)
Count Olaf- How is Phrenology as an entire CD? I like and downloaded Seed 2.0 with Cody Chesnutt after hearing it live on the MTV $2 Bill show that The Roots did, and that's kinda lost steam with me after repeated listenings.
Ol Fuzzy- similar question for thee, redirected towards the Flaming Lips cd. I like Fight Test.
Uber- Phrenology is really quite good. There's a mix between real upbeat hip hop songs and snoozier jazzy ones. Not something to party to like their last, but great background/chillout/driving music like the first Roots disc. highly recomended.
jeff hardy as the lead singer. they dont even now what their sound is. they have no idea when theyre gonna out out an album. But they do a pretty good job of discribing where they got their name from. Also theyre really too busy to write songs.
