Modest Mouse - The Moon And Antarctica
TMBG - Mink Car
Ella Fitzgerald - Ella For Lovers
Dixie Chicks - Home
Modern Jazz Quartet - Django
My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves
Norah Jones - Feels Like Home (this past weekend, thanks to those fine states' attorneys general who helped send me a check for $13.86)

QOTD: Just offer some general thoughts on your pile...

Listened to the Modest Mouse for the first time. I got it because many moons ago the forum suggested that I would like it best of about 5 CDs available at Columbia House. And... I didn't care for it much at all. Of course, it was my first Modest Mouse album (save for an early rarities CD), but it could be my last... Last time I ask y'all to decide for me.

But everytime I listen to the Dixie Chicks' Home, I like that album more and more. A great album.

The Norah Jones is good, less mellow than her first album. It has a very 90's-era Bonnie Raitt vibe to it, but with less (noticeable) guitar. It's probably a better album overall than her first, but I'll probably listen to it less.

Phish - Hampton Comes Alive! - Great box set. Two complete concerts, very high energy. Filled with rarities, interesting covers and inspired playing (especially on the second night).

Slobberbone - Everything You Thought Was Right Was Wrong Today - My favorite album by one of my favorite bands. Gritty tales about lost love and hard drinking.

The Triplets of Belleville Soundtrack - I love this disc. "Belleville Rendez-Vous" is a wonderful song, and the jazzy score ain't too shabby either.

Camper Van Beethoven - Tusk - Song for song cover of the Fleetwood Mac album. Some missteps but surprisingly high quality for the most part.

Scud Mountain Boys - "Massachusetts" (still my favorite Joe Pernice-related project)

90 Day Men - "Panda Park" (probably their finest work, and definitely their strangest - I've had MP3s of this for a while, but just picked up a "real" copy yesterday)

Yo La Tengo - "Summer Sun" (this album has never clicked with me - boring, and their worst since "May I Sing With Me")

new for me this week: I finally broke down and ordered the expensive import of Saxon's Innocence is No Excuse!

ofcourse I'm sure it can't compete with the new dixie chicks record

SAShepherd

Ah, c'mon, demonio, having checked out your cd list on CD tracker, I really think you'd like the album. Your country collection is considerably larger than mine and includes some artists -- Patty Loveless, Rhonda Vincent, the Trio album, the O Brother albums -- that fit right in line with the Chicks.

Yeah, I do think Home is a great album, a step above their first two albums. You may disagree, of course, but your comment leads me to believe you've never listened to the album. (I could be wrong about that, of course.) If you haven't for whatever reason, I just think you should try.

Just trying to keep a positive vibe in here...
