Yeah... it's great watching Stevie Ray and Johnnie Copeland trade licks. That is some great stuff!

I listened to my son's Audio Slave "Out of Exile". Not bad but I can't stand that lead guitar.

That's a shame, Oz. I haven't heard anything off that album, but I am definitely a fan of Morello's playing. Very inventive, if I may say so.

Saw this on Richard's site today. If they're already reviewing it, that means I should probably be checking my mailbox in the next week or so, and I'm imagining you should as well. This calls for a nice bottle of something, dim lights, and the Axioms receiving an overdue workout.

I also got this (better view here) in the mail today. "The Bootlegs" is an apt description as the sound quality varies wildly (performances range from '81 to '04), but the range of material is great and the performances are uniformly terrific.

was listening to some Joy Division last night (i've never been able to appreciate them before, but have gotten into them lately) and some Stars. They are coming to town next week, should be a great show.

Also if anyone is looking for the best indie-rock album of 2005 check out Spoon - Gimme Fiction.

Have to admit i also watched a little hockey last night too...who doesn't like seeing the Leafs lose their 7th straight!

Well, last night my lovely wife and I (plus another 14,000+ happy fans) were treated to a wonderful concert by Coldplay. Our seats were close enough to the stage to make it feel like you were sitting in your living room. If you are a fan, don't miss out seeing this band live. They definitely rock more in a live setting. The sound was extremely good for a live venue, however I do prefer my M60's!

hey Shaun,
if you don't mind me asking, who opened for Coldplay?

Brothers In Arms SACD arrived today. Sounds amazing. Very nice use of the surrounds, too.

The W2s!! Ian installed a bedroom system at our house this week (sigh . . .) and they really sound great in our room.

Seriously, Scott, have you been stealing my CDs? Stars is great album--picked it up on a whim and was really suprised.

It's nice to see Spoon finally get some critical attention. They've been around for quite a while and "Gimme Fiction" is by far one of the best albums I bought last year. Somewhere I read a story about Stephen King really digging these guys.
