First - Chronicles of Narnia. After my daughter went to bed, Miles Davis - Relaxing and Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus. All in all a very enjoyable evening.

have been busy the last week, catching up on Season 3 of Arrested Development (R.I.P.) as well as Season 7 of South Park.
Also been listening to some new cd releases the past week - Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Vines, Flaming Lips, Tegan and Sara...as well as a few used ones I've picked up including the Novaks. On a somewhat related note, did anyone watch the Junos this past week. I watched to see just who won the "best Alternative" award - love all the bands nominated Hot Hot Heat, Metric, Tegan & Sara, The New Pornographers and of course BSS. Also got to see Broken Social Scene perform - outstanding! For anyone who likes Arcade Fire, you owe it to yourself to check out Broken Social Scene, some great indie rock in the same vein as Arcade Fire. BSS are kind of like THE supergroup of Canadian indie music (members Feist, Stars, Metric, Treble Charger among others). I got a chance to see them live in a small club in Saskatoon recently and they put on quite a performance, i think they had 10 or 12 people crammed on a little stage up front.

That reminds me--I need to check out the new Flaming Lips. What do you think of it, Scott?
I got the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and was a bit underwhelmed by it. Not that the songs are bad, but they are too much the same. This is only after one listen, though. I miss that hard edge they had.

Coincidentally (or not), the first song on the new Flaming Lips album is called "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song".

That is oddly unsettling.

I kinda figured as much. I think with the Flaming Lips you either love 'em or hate 'em.

It's never that cut and dried, though. Even bad bands -- and I am not implying that FL are bad -- can turn out some gems. You can hate them, mostly.

I just received a bunch of Oscar Peterson cd's from Ebay today. (got a hell of a deal!)
Amazing stuff. If you think you may like jazz, but don't know what to buy. Pick up some Oscar Peterson.
