What I'm listening to.

I've got a whole pile of new albums. Listening to them all on shuffle.

Nirvana- With the Lights Out It's a boxed set. Live stuff, demos early stuff. Everything I've heard so far has been rough and dirty sounding. Not in a bad way, either. It's grunge, so that's teh point, right?
Sticky Little Fingers- Greatest Hits This is some good classic punk rockin and I am enjoying it.
The Beta Band- Heroes to Zeroes Hey, I really liked 3 Eps's and this is more of the same, but, maybe not as interesting or something. Still pretty good, but I'll probably listen to the other one when I'm in the mood for some Beta.
Tonto/Buddha- all stuff avaialable over the interthingy. It's like 61 songs and barely a shovelfull of the mound a' lovin' that is the Tonto Buddha experience. And it's ok that theres 61 songs in this mix, because there's already a boxed set and I've got like 7
Fugazi- Albums I've been listening to The Argument a lot, so I got some other stuff. Don't know which albums are which yet, but the songs have all sounded pretty good.
Iron and Wine- Our Endless Numbered days An album that doesn't get lost in the middle of this bomb pop of punk rock. Maybe as good as the first album, but I dug Creek Drank the Cradle a lot.
New Pornographers- Mass Romantics An album that does get lost in the shuffle. Nothing has stood out. Disclaimer: This is a band that I think does a song I think I like, but cannot for the life of me remember what that song is.
Kinks- Arthur or The Decline and Fall of the British Empire I just typed the full title for some unknown perverse reason. The Kinks come through, again, with an album full of good songs. The british life and the war themes come through strongly.
Scott Lozon- Unreleased material It's all very hush-hush you understand. Chipper-chap and all that.
Petra Haden- is still in the shuffle. No I'm not writing the whole thing. And finally:
John Frusciante- Smile from the Streets You Hold and Shadows Collide with People. I need to stop listening to him for a while, but it's good and I keep listening.
