Yeah, Every time a new album comes out from an artist/group that I really like (Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Kings of Leon are up at the top of my list) I end up listening to it a lot. The Kings of Leon Album has really grown on me but I still like their last one better. I have probably listened to the Come Around Sundown album 3 time in full and a lot more than that in bits and pieces.
When the latest albums by Dave Matthews and John Mayer came out (Big Whiskey and Battle Studies) I probably listened to each one in its entirety a dozen times within the first month or so. A lot of that was from work with IEM's, but several listens were done from the M80's.
I probably have listened to every studio album by DMB a good 30 times or more in their entirety, and similar with John Mayer. There is also a dozen or more Live DMB albums that I have listened to in full multiple times. I like a variety in my music but when I find something I really like I play it over and over again!
I listen to Electronic music for my runs and workouts (mostly Trance), usually through pandora.

CocoRosie - "Gallows" (YouTube)Creepy-weird music video, but I would argue that it's still less creepy than them wearing mustaches. And sisters singing naked in the darkness is always good, right?

If you care(d) anything, ever, for the best of Southern Swamp rock, you can't miss the new Widesparead Panic CD, "Dirty Side Down." I do like Widespread Panic and after listening to the song samples on amazon.com I did order the disc. Thanks for the heads up Bob!

Just been listening to some samples off of Loreena McKennitt's new album "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" recorded in the historic Sharon Temple north of Toronto. It's a good mix of more traditional Celtic songs she recently put together where many of her previous recordings had both celtic and various eastern influences. Her website gives you a special price if you want to add another of her CD's to the pre-order of the new recording(due here on the 15th Nov). Check it out if you like Celtic music.
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

The deluxe edition of Weezer's Pinkerton came out this week, so I'm having a listen. It's been a while since I listened to the album. Still great!

Rick F: Glad the tip worked for you. Always exciting for me! Love Widespread's guitarist!
New Weezer: Kinda like Weezer B sides. Previous effort was much better. They pump 'em out too fast and it shows in the writing.
Tired Pony: Collab w/ Peter Buck (REM) and dude from Snow Patrol. Fond of each in alternate combos. Sort of feels like being dragged behind a Tired Pony.
New Elvis. Really? Was there ever a bad Elvis? New one is Country Elvis meets Juliet Letters Elvis. Some odd recording choices for electric instrument tunes, but some of the soundstage placement with 1st vocal harmony and winds/strings is pretty cool.
New Kings of Leon: What's all the fuss about? It's not very distinctive. Nothing sticks in my head afterward. I'm on 4th listen.
Hottest new (critical attention) Amer. bands, here and in Euro are The National ("High Velvet") and Deerhunter ("Halcyon Digest"). Very good bands, thoughtful writing and arranging, but I wasn't aware that both Quaaludes AND Morrisey were sooo "in" again. Funerary Music for the jobless generataion???

My Darkest Days - One of the hottest recorded CD's I have ever heard, it is even so bad I had to turn the treble down on my trucks poor stock audio system.
Bob, I believe the fuss about the Kings of Leon was just the fact it is new and hope was high for it to match or exceed the previous album, but by all accounts it does not.

Jakewash, Jason, Jake, John: I know, I know. I felt bad for years having to forsake Stevie Ray, 'cause the recordings were, to me, unlistenable.
It's always a weird trade. There are artists, whom, I'm sure I wouldn't be that hot for if their recordings weren't so great. Conversely, some great artists have CD's that sound so shitty, that I have to learn to "get over it," or not hear the music at all.
There's NO excuse anymore. Not when Indie labels with less $ than a greeting card shop can release superb offerings. Somtimes, I blame the artist for signing off on it. Mostly, I'm just pissed.

If you're talking about Death to False Metal, it's a compilation of previously unreleased material. So yeah, not really b-sides, but also not a new album that they pumped out. Just a collection of rejects.

Charles: Was refering to "Hurley." The one with the super-fat-guy face on the cover. It was released 4-8 weeks ago.(?)
