Bat for Lashes - "Laura"

I really like this song. I'm looking forward to the new album.

Thanks Rock_Head. It's on it's way so I will let you know what I think when it arrives.

So, I'm (still) digesting the latest Rush album (Clockwork Angels). In the process, I played "Snakes and Arrows" for the first time in quite a while. Holy hell, that is a very good album. Hope I end up liking "Clockwork Angels" that much.

I just listened to Clockwork for the first time and was very favorably impressed. I had read the liner notes first to get an overview of what was going on. Then I played it during my 5am to 6am commute to work (at a volume, naturally, that probably alerted the National Geological Survey).

My first impression was simply that this album has the most guts of any Rush album, since, um, probably ever (maybe 2112 comes close). I liked it all, but it'll take a couple more listens before I really start to pick out favorite sections, etc.

You just knew they still had an album like this in them, didn't you.

If this song is any indication, the new Killers album is going to be ... killer.

I'd seen her name around, but I didn't actually listen to her until tonight:

Grimes - "Oblivion"

I like her sound.

I like it.

I got her CDs, so I'll be absorbing those. Yes, as always, I went overboard and got all three. Her first album takes a lot of its titles from Dune, so it'll be weird thinking about that while I'm listening to it.

I've been listening to another great Canadian band that we have been hiding from Peter. Well, actually, we haven't hid them very well and we were not trying to hide them from Peter, we were trying to hide the lead singer from Charles.

I wasn't as much of a fan in the past of their their synthetica, indie pop music but they are starting to throw a little edge into it, which I like. Their latest video can be found currently at the top of their web page. Metric -- Youth Without Youth

Hey, I love Metric. I never thought they lacked an edge, though. Maybe on their first album.
