Yeah, so Trail of Dead is out today. My review should go up at Flak tomorrow. Buy it today. A perfect album.

Lou Reed - "Ecstasy"
G. Love - "...Goes Country"

snow + midterm exam + no carbs = lazy day

I'll be picking up the new Trail of Dead album later today. I may end up seeing them live next month - I've heard good things about their live show.

Elvis Costello - "This Year's Model" bonus disc
Wilco - "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"
Kerosene 454 - "At Zero"

Today is King's X day for me:

Dogman
Ear Candy
Tapehead
Please Come Home...Mr. Bulbous

The Microphones - ------part 2

They are a great live band.

You hear that Bluetip split? Always the inferior Kerosene. But they played every show together. Jim told me they had played something like 230 shows together.

what style of music would trail of dead be? What are they like? I guess, more importantly, what is the link for Flak?

Trail of Dead are really raucous post-punk. Heavy Sonic Youth vibe, but much more manic. My review will probably go up tomorrow, just submitted it to the editor earlier today. But flak is: FlakMag.com

I think this record could have a pretty wide appeal. It's melodic, but it's hidden under layers of guitars. But there are also strings, pianos, etc. A really ambitious album that achieves its goals.

That last paragraph was the Cliff Notes version of my review.

Clutch- "Jam Room"

Bolt Thrower- "Mercenary"

Charlatans UK: Wonderland
Duran Duran: Decade (don't know why but I had an urge to play "Rio")
Kylie Minogue: Fever
Alanis Morissette: Under Rug Swept
Nine Inch Nails: Things Fall Apart

Don't forget the new one, Manic Moonlight

Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure
Horslips - The Celtic Collection
Megadeth - The World Needs a Hero
Various - The Mountain Stage Sampler
Rainbow - Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
Rory Gallagher - Blueprint
Oyster Band - Holy Bandits
Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever
Uncle Tupelo - Anodyne
Rush - Permanent Waves
Trace - Birds

I've seen both Kerosene 454 and Bluetip, but never together. Even though I enjoy some of Bluetip's material (haven't heard that split), Kerosene 454 blows them away. I wish K454 was still around - Oswego does nothing for me.

I picked up "Source Tags and Codes" for $9.99 this afternoon. I'm only up to track 6, but I love what I hear so far.

Trail of Dead -- Source Tags & Codes
The Smiths -- Strangeways...
The Smiths -- The Smiths

I just recieved Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl: Vol. II. So far it's pretty interesting.

I picked up the new Alanis cd last week... pretty decent album... recommended.
