Most recent to older:
Deltron 3030 instrumentals, Atmosphere (You can't imagine how much fun we're having) Outkast (Speakerboxx/the love below) Neil Young (Greendale) Willie Dixon (I am the blues) It is great living 3 blocks away from a cd store The deltron is awesome (Love Story is my new fav), the atmosphere is decent but overproduced and it all sort of has the same style (I like the Lucy Ford era stuff better), Outkast is always fun, I was really impressed with the Neil Young - it has has folk music sensibilities but grungier edge, and the writing/narrative is superb. Willie Dixon is backed up by his all-star band, so it is a bit more polished than I generally like my blues, but excellent throughout, and you can hear the originals of a couple songs that Led Zeppelin (and other Rock/blues artists) covered.

29 by Ryan Adams and FUNERAL by Arcade Fire. I picked 'em both up to put in my stocking hung by the television with care (we don't have a fireplace). COLD ROSES is better than 29, but I like 29 more than I cared for JACKSONVILLE CITY NIGHTS. FUNERAL is pretty good, sort of like the intersection between Talking Heads Way and Daniel Lanios Lane.

I had $50 in Xmas cash to spend, and figured I could either get a few CD's or an Xbox game with it. Well I went to Best Buy and got the entire System of a Down back catalogue (SoaD, Toxicity and Steal this Album) PLUS Jade Empire for Xbox for $50

Toxicity is a weird album. The first 5 tracks are all speed, speed, speed/scream, scream, scream. But once you hit Chop Suey!, the sound turns much more into what Hypnotize/Mesmerize are....changing tempos, harmonies, etc. IMHO, I think the second half of the album trumps the first half by leaps and bounds.

Sublime: Gold. What a disappointment. There are maybe 5 songs that I genuinely like on this two-disc set, and there are a total of around 30 songs. So much for how "awesome" everyone told me Sublime is.

John Mayer Trio - Try!
Absolutely phenominal. With this disc he's moved away from the pre-teen pop ballads he became famous for (although most of his non-radio songs showed some real talent) and moved towards a very laid back bluesy/classic rock feel. It's a live disc, so it does have some old songs (Daughters, Something's Missing) however he revamps both of them. A great buy, I can't reccomend it highly enough

Mostly from Christmas:
The Shins: Chutes Too Narrow Iron & Wine: Our Endless Numbered Days Dntel: Life is Full of Possibilities Assorted Artists: Garden State Soundtracks Death Cab for Cutie: The Stability EP Death Cab for Cutie: The Sound of Settling (I believe it's an import) A Ha: Scoundel Days Franz Ferdinand: You Could Have It So Much Better Hot Hot Heat: Make Up The Breakdown North American Hallowe'en Preventive Initiative: Do They Know It's Halloween? (limited edition charity project featuring tons of great indie-alt darlings) After several years of not really buying CD's, I've now got a list of new artists (most actually older acts that I'm now becoming acquainted with) a mile long.

robert wyatt & friends: theatre royal drury lane 8 sept. 1974.
newly issued recording of robert wyatt's only live performance since his accident, which left him paralyzed. and what a fine fine thing this is. a complete live version of "rock bottom" and other stuff. excellent.

Horace Silver - Song For My Father. - This guy is amazing. (Not just the album, Horace Silver himself.)
Ella Fitzgerald - The Complete Ella in Berlin: Mack the Knife. Pat Metheny Group - Pat Metheny Group. - His first, two thumbs up. Miles Davis - Sorcerer. 2nd Album by the Quartet just before he went Fusion. Miles Davis - E.S.P. 1st Album by same group, slightly better, but both are great. If you even have the most remote interest in Jazz, pick up the Ella Fitzgerald one, it is just amazing.

Ulver - Blood Inside Fucking phenomenal. Listen to Christmas, It Is Not Sound, Operator. Ulver - First Decade In The Machines Listen to Track Slow Snow, Wolf Rotovator, He Said - She Said. There are very few bands that have overtaken me like this but I must admit that Ulver are by far one of the most original bands I've ever heard. It's a shame I got into them this late into the game but I fear that earlier appreciation of their music might've tainted or corrupted my appreciation of these albums - the first being their latest release and the second being a remix album of 14 tracks from a few of their albums. ...amazing band...
