Heh, I'll never tell.... ;)

This week I'm on a tindersticks binge... haven't picked up the new solo cd from the lead singer... should probably hit amoeba today.

I think we're going to hit Amoeba on Saturday. Bad news!

I'll send you another postcard. ;)

I'm listening to the demo version of "This Is Halloween" - It's pretty cool hearing Danny Elfman singing the whole thing...

I just got an AMAZING collection of 100+ mp3s of different Oingo Boingo stuff including live shows and unreleased remixes/demos...

Death Cab for Cutie's latest CD "Plans".

It's sooooo frigging good.

Today, however, I'm taking a trip back through Death Cab's vault and really loving "The Sound of Settling"

I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots; that my tongue is tied off
My brain's repeating if you've got an impulse, LET IT OUT!
but they never make it past my mouth

(Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...)
(Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...)

Our youth is fleeting, old age is just around the bend and I can't wait to go gray
And I'll sit an wonder of every love that could have been
If I'd only thought of something charming to say

(Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...)
(Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...)

I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots

Hmmmmm...Plans....LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT.

How bloody fabulous is "I will follow you into the dark"????

Hey, lady! Read a very good (albeit brief) review of the new Fiery Furnaces. Have you heard the album, or heard of it? I don't know if it's released yet, but it sounds great. You introduced me to their music and I lah-lah-love them.

No! I'm really bad when it comes to knowing new releases, therefore I'm always playing desperate catch up. Must go looking.

Here it is. Out October 25th. Called Rehearsing My Chior


There's a new Gang of Four coming out too that is supposed to be really good. Damn.
