Or sometimes, like the Stones, I wonder when they started going downhill...after "Made in the Shade"?

Hey, I got my copy today. I'm liking it a lot, Sean. Thanks!

Glad you like it, CV!

Just discovered I like Ozric Tentacles as I've liked all 4 tracks I've heard so far. Good instrumental for working to.

I feel like I've been living under a rock however - in the past few months I keep discovering music that is new to me, then I look the group up on the web and find out they've been around since the 70's or 80's. Am I on the Truman show or something?

It's not just you, Dan.

The Cranberries - Roses
Sinéad O’Connor - How About I Be Me (and You Be You)?

I haven't been listening too closely, but they seem decent. I'll have to give them more attention sometime.

So far the Cranberries album is fine, but nothing has jumped out and grabbed me yet. I'm enjoying the new Sinéad album more. Too bad she's having so many personal problems these days. Not that she ever had a period where she didn't, but it just seems worse lately. I still like her voice, and there are some fun songs on this one.

Charles, I picked up First Aid Kit's The Lion's Roar and I hope to give it a listen tomorrow.

Nice. I hope you like it.

I have an old set of the Alesis Monitor Ones. They lack a bit in the bottom end, but are really clean and revealing, especially when you use them as near field monitors.
