Captain Fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy SACD. Probably the best sounding SACD I've heard so far! Anyone heard the other Elton John SACD's. are they as good?

"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is excellent!

Melora Creager - Perplexions
Ratatat - Classics
April March - Triggers

Fun stuff. Thanks again, Sean, for the Ratatat. Melora Creager is of course from Rasputina. Her solo album isn't a major deviation. Pretty cool. April March is a little different for me, but it does sound pretty nice on the Axioms.

I've been putting the new M60s to good use today. Popped out quite a few cds throughout the afternoon.

Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous & Under the Blacklight
Mark Knopfler - The Ragpickers Dream
Mad Season - Above
Flecktones - Left of Cool
Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog
Dave Matthews - Some Devil
Wilco - Sky Blue Sky
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms (SACD)
Loreena McKennitt - The Mask & Mirror

All of it sounding better than I've ever heard it.

Sometimes I think you and Peter share a brain.

I should've thrown more U2 in there to differentiate, I suppose.

A little April Wine today...

Yesterday I listened to the latest Sarah MacLachlan CD - Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff, Vol. 2 and enjoyed it alot. Her version of Blackbird and her collaboration with Cyndi Lauper on Time After Time are top notch. As usual for her, the recording quality is very good.

R.E.M. Accelerate.

As my friend Beau said in his blog, the critics have been gushing over this one, and they're right. This is one of the finest albums they've made. It's a return to real rock.

I was very excited about the album. Finally got it a couple of weeks ago. I put it on, but the first song didn't grab me and I turned it off and did something else.

I don't think I was in my receptive music mode. I hate how I can kill an album's expectations before I even give it a shot. It'll go back in the CD player this week for a serious listen.
