We're settling back into a routine - today, Amazon announced 100 titles reduced to five bucks - some of them quite possibly even actually WORTH five bucks...
This album is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. One of my favorite albums of all time. If you've never heard of The Dirtbombs, they're a basically a garage, punk-rock band (ala The Hives, The White Stripes, etc) fronted by a soul singer. This album is mostly soul covers (Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, Marvine Gaye, Smokey Robinson, etc etc). It's really, really good.
Their rendition of Chains of Love (youtube.com), for example...
Not their best work, but the first 3 or 4 songs are strong, particularly "Papillon". To me though, even a mediocre Editors song is still pretty good. (Like pizza!) Definitely (more than) worth the three bucks.

Hey, it's artistic growth, going from ripping off Joy Division to ripping off VNV Nation.
(And yes, I do like them. It's just... come on.)

It'd be worth it no matter what the price. (Well, at least from the two songs I've heard, "Amblin('/g?) Alp" and "O.N.E.".) Yeasayer would be one of my favorite discoveries from last year, and these songs are even better than the debut.
