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.
Egad. I just discovered there's a two-volume set of early My Morning Jacket recordings, featuring covers of
The Rocketman cover is passable, kind of exploring some new ground (sounds like a maudlin drug song). TMBA is pretty good. The other two are destined for a "good bands doing awful covers" compliation. And man, are they awful.
And I know it's October, but has anyone starting working on their list of best albums/songs of 2005?
I haven't really flipped over anything this year. What with having the kid, though, I've been quite a bit out of the loop.
Sleater-Kinney's The Woods would definitely be my pick for no. 1 of the year. Twin Cinema by New Pornographers would be in my list, too.
The Decemberists, Picaresque. t /new band crush
Anyone who is in the mood for big loud guitars and and an effeminate goth-y male singer should check out the new HIM album, Dark Light. Very metal. And rather Finnish.

I got it on the day of release, not only because I am a guiltily-swooning fan girl of the lead vocalist, but because my day had been dreadful. Swoony gothy-pop-metal is a good cure for dreadful days. At least, it is if you're me.

Woo! I'm seeing them tonight! I'm super excited.
