the bonus disc to spoon's new album ga ga ga ga ga - entitled
get nice - is IMO pretty much better than the main disc. full of wonderful little two minute ditties complete with tape hiss and all. very pretty.
choice listens; be still my servant, i summon you (cool) (alternate version), mean mad margaret, you got yr. cherry bomb (alternate version), and dracula's cigarette.
other new albums i am enjoying lately: interpol's
our love to admire, kieran hebden and steve reid's tongues,
malcolm middleton's a brighter beat, and BRMC's
baby 81.
