I'll join the RR.
'Beneath You'
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Seven! Can we get an 8th?
I've been ripping a lot of mid-90s alt-country for a coworker, so expect to hear mandolins.
This is excellent.
Lifter Puller is all sent and done. Enjoy.
Looking forward to the RR. Do we get to go through and suggest categories again?('Cause that was fun).
super hot coffee and a parliament ultra light:
I'm going to go on record as being one of the hype-swallowing millions who really really loves this Arctic Monkeys album - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. It's just good. It's surprisingly good. Simple. Really great lyrics. Not life changing, but clever and not anywhere as predictable as I'd thought it would be. Very (but not too) Clash-esque.
Also very good - the new Belle and Sebastian. I think it will end up being my favorite since If You're Feeling Sinister. I would say it's upbeat for B & S, but I've never thought of them as a particularly depressing band.

Heck, yeah! Fire away.
Hah, Tina, just tonight on the way home I was thinking that the new B&S is my favorite since Boy With The Arab Strap.
And the Arctic Monkeys are not the Second Coming, but a good fun band, so far.
The new CD I'm really looking forward to digging my teeth into is the Destroyer, which has friends whose tastes I trust rolling around on the ground making insensate noises of pleasure.

It's good stuff - a lot better than Dear Catastrophe Waitress , IMO.

No kidding. Just the way Darnielle was talking about it on his blog several weeks ago has had me tapping my foot in anticipation for a while. (I just really started listening to Streethawk and I looooove it.)
But I am waiting until my Emusic refreshes on March 2 because I have spent waaay too much money on music this month.
Fire away.
I'll save the few ideas I have until tomorrow - it will be an excellent way to spend a loooong Friday afternoon at work.
Do you still need another person for the round robin? I'm up for it.
I'm in for the round robin too!
I'm in.
