I've actually been listening to Sacred Spirits fairly regularly.  It was a CD put out by the Something-Or-Other Fund to raise money for underpriveledged Native American kids.  It's traditional American Indian songs, arranged with modern beats.  Kinda weird, but I listened to the stuff constantly while I was in New Mexico and it's stuck with me.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

Toad the Wet Sprocket's easy listening cover of "Rock and Roll All Knight." Yes. it's a sick and wrong idea. But it's surprisingly good.

I learned yesterday that Vanessa Carlton did a cover of Paint it Black. While not as bad as you may expect, it was still pretty...wrong.

More Toad. This time "Hobbit on the Rocks" which is pretty catchy, without beign gratuitous. Not their best, but worth the 3 minutes.

Still got TMBG on my ears. THe difference now is that I have 4 of their albums instead of the 100+ mp3s(no, I don't actually have any mp3s, why would I need mp3s?).

I've got all of TMBG's albums and a pretty good collection of live stuff.

Speaking of live stuff, I foolishly missed out on a free concert they were featured in downtown last weekend.  Stupid tiredness!

I bought the Evanescence album (Fallen) and Linkin Parks Meteora album today. Fallen is wierd. Not metal, closer to classical with vocals - awesome vocals i think. Since i like classical music, thats cool. Its like a lot of music i like, it puts me in mind of the WoD and Tolkiens elves; haunting stuff that is filled with a sense of loss.  Perfect for putting on during a White Wolf RPG session.

And Meteora is just the pure mosh stuff i like. Loud, hard, powerful.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

FLCL soundtrack.  It's as good as the anime.  Sounds like Weezer in a lot of respects.

Los Straitjackets doing a cover of "Sing, Sing, Sing"
they're a sort of psuedo surf guitar in the tradition of Shadowy Men. I highly recommend this group.

So I happened upon myself at the mall last night, was in that Fye store that has DVDs CDs and a few other types of paraphanalia. I was browsing the CDs, taking notice I had only $14, and went straight to the T's. To find what? Well a TMBG CD of course. Instead I hadn't enought for such overpriced CDs and instead found one for $5.99. So I took it to the listening place, listened, liked it, and bought it. "Go Kart vs the Corporate Giant" is the name of the CD. Its just a collection of the record labels bands, has 30 songs on it, and was priced at what CDs should be priced. Now for something complete.

Not yet, I've just given the whole CD a glossy overtone. Meaning that I just let the whole CD played whilst I did other things in my room.
