Hem - Rabbit Songs
Fountains of Wayne - s/t
V/A - general mix CD from co-worker's brother
Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
The Connells - Still Life
Rhett Miller - The Instigator
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights

I really like the Hem CD; great orchestration, and the lead singer has a wonderful voice. Calm folk-pop.

I'm going to try the Rhett Miller CD, but I've tried it before here at work on my CD-ROM, and it didn't play, even though it seems to play OK at home. I suspect that it's one of those CDs with the anti-copying technology that prevents you from playing them on the computer, which leads me to the following 2 questions (unsearched in the archives):

1) Is there a workaround?
2) Is there a listing of CDs with the technology (so I can avoid them)?

Ben Harper - Diamonds on the Inside
Jesse Malin - The Fine Art of Self Destruction
Phish - Live Phish Vol. 12
Be Good Tanyas - Chinatown
Uncle Tupelo - Anodyne (remastered, expanded)

No cds today...

Listening to mp3s of The Microphones and The Replacements, though. I've also been listening to a mixtape my friend made me. It has artists like Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Stereolab, Radar Bros., Magnetic Fields, and The Lucksmiths on it. I think it is one of the best mixtapes anyone has ever made me...

Califone - "Quicksand/Cradlesnakes"
Stephen Malkmus/Jicks - "Pig Lib"
Enon - "High Society"
Songs:Ohia - "Magnolia Electric Co."
Tom Verlaine - s/t

How is that Califone cd? I might going to see them in April with The Sea and Cake. It's still up in the air though.

The Cardigans - Long Gone before Daylight (excellent CD!)
Phillip Glass - The Hours soundtrack

Has anyone bought the new Robin Guthrie solo CD? I liked the Cocteau Twins, and I heard this new solo album is really atmospheric.

Another beautiful day in NYC, another crappy day at work...
