Stuff I want to get ASAP:

New Dandy Warhols
New Ladytron (October, wahhh)
Rakes album, whenever it comes out

Any other music you're itching to hear?

Ima Robot.. :duh::D

Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics, but that's not until next January..

The Raconteurs: Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler (the latter two the bassist and drummer of the Greenhornes). I'm very excited, but also a little scared. I hope it turns out wonderfully.

Is that out yet, Evil? Sounds interesting.
(I have $30 for iTunes so am in a sampling mood)

Nope, not out yet. I'm not even sure if it's written/recorded yet.

Umm Franz Ferdinand and Mindless Self Indulgence (it's out but I don't own that one yet!) . . and umm System of a Down. . . .

Goldfrapp came out yesterday. Mindless Seld Indulgence rock!

Dude yes they do! OH OH and Avenged Sevenfold's new album too!

Kanye West's new one is really good. Gold Digger one of my favorite songs this year.

Not really new, but Bob Dylan's new Bootleg Series has some incredible outtakes on it

Otherwise, I"m just waiting patiently for the Iron & Wine/Calexico EP

And the new Kate Bush! Woo

Speaking of Calexico, that reminded me to get their version of "Alone Again Or" from iTunes. I love it--someone could do an album comprised only of covers of that song and I would buy it.

Hmm one of the ONLY cover songs that I've EVER really absolutly liked is the cover of 99 red balloons by Goldfinger. . . That is so kickass. . . .

I can't wait for the new Distured album!!!!

Had I mentioned that Calexico cover to you before? It's easily one of my favorite songs too, and their version may be the best.

Nope, heard it on some local station, it's also a favorite song of mine. Have you heard any other covers?

Off-topic, but if anyone's looking for a great read, Paul Feig's Superstud is hilarious. About his sad adolescence in the 80's, essentially. He's one of the creators of Freaks and Geeks, and the character of Sam from that show was based on him.

Not new, but I also dl'd George Michael's Freedom 90 for my running mix from iTunes...ahhh....so unappreciated, so smarmy...

smarmy? Is that good or bad?

If you know Drac, you know that's good.

I only asked because I went through a period where I was obsessed with Calexico's version. Besides Love and Calexico, the only other version I know is The Boo Radleys' which was pretty neat too.

hmmm.. i bought a lot of cd's in london.. mostly special offers that i finally wanted to have as originals.. plus xlover and clor, but the clor album was not as good as i expected. i still love the single.

i want a new Pulp album ....

I remember them.

Dude, The Boo Radley's that is a kickass band name. . . .

The new Against Me! album is out today. If you like folk/country punk then you will like AM!.

Since you mentioned the Dandy Warhols did any of you see the movie DIG?

The Calexico / Iron & Wine EP is great, just came out today... I love I&W, and I love how all his recordings have a different sound, but it's still him. Calexico's horns and energy are a great touch to his songs.

I wish I could see one of their shows together. I wonder if they'll play "Alone Again Or," I could hear I&W singing it...

"Alone Again Or"

Yea said it's alright, I won't forget
All the times I waited patiently for you
And you'll do just what you used to do
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear

Girl, I heard a funny thing somebody said to me
"You know that I could be in love with almost everyone.
And I think that people are the greatest fun."
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear
