Where My Bitches At?

What's crack-lackin' in internetland? There's not much in the way of new & exciting news or at least worth sharing. So I've assembled another exciting edition of...

What's In Your CD Wallet?

That's right. What's spinning in your ride, boom box, or God forbid IPod? Let's see what's under my skirt shall we? DJ, spin that funky shizznasty.


UNKLE - Psyence Fiction

• Appeared at Coachella this past spring. Not bad but a little dreary & drowsy at times. Good for macking, relaxing, and sulking.

Grandaddy - Sophtware Slump

• Not a bad album. I give it a with potential.

Idlewild - Hope Is Important

• Just picked this up & like what I hear so far.

Massive Attack - Mezzanine

• Yet another recent addition to my collection. Another good selection for macking & other various activities that don't require operating heavy machinery.

Pulp - We Love Life

• My very 1st Pulp album. It's progress, folks. Decent album overall.

Watashi Wa - The Love of Life

• Not bad. A bit more uplifting than my usual gloomy selections. It teeters on the edge of the pop genre, but it's worth giving a spin.

Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary

• I like. Moody & fueled by depression yet does not cause excessive drowsiness.

Guided By Voices - Do the Collapse

• I quite like this album. The track 'Teenage FBI' is also featured on the latest EA Sport NCAA 2006 music playlist.

Badly Drawn Boy - Have you Fed the Fish?

• Great album. I recommend checking this one out.

Dismemberment Plan - Change

• Had slightly higher expectations from this group. This particular album is so-so, but it also has potential to grow on me.

Green Day - Nimrod

• Everyone should come to love & appreciate Green Day. Great group of guys, and their music is generally uplifting with a sprinkle of anarchy & anti-conformity. Although this is not my favorite Green Day album, it does contain one of my favorites "Redundant".
  

The Killers - Hot Fuss

• The f%$king album of the Summer! I have spun the paint off this disc. Love this band & this album.

Grateful Dead - Skeletons from the Closet (Best of)

• Not a huge Dead fan, but I can appreciate their contribution to music & society. This is a nice compilation to own if you wish to graze the surface of the colossal Grateful Dead catalogue.

Paul McCartney - all the best!

• Nice collection of some of his greatest works outside of the Beatles. It's Paul McCartney for f*ck's sake.

Daryl Hall / John Oates - The Very Best of

• Go ahead laugh, pretentious f*cks. Nice collection of the old classics.
  

The Who - My Generation

• Another nice collection of classics.
  

NIN - With Teeth

• Impressed with this album. Even though the lyrics still ooze of anger & depression, the album still grooves. It is rumored that the last NIN release (The Fragile) increased the suicide rate between 18-35 year olds by at least 1%. Kidding, of course, but it was a rough 2 CD set to absorb.

Green Day - American Idiot

• Yes...another Green Day album. I was hesitant about this release at first but have grown to enjoy the majority of the tracks.

Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

• This is their best album, in my opinion.

Supertramp - Classics Vol. 9

• I'm chocked full of compilation albums. Another decent release to own if you appreciate Supertramp. This has a handful of great classics with a variety of other tracks.

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin (4 Disc Box Set.... the one with the crop circles)

• If you appreciate Zeppelin & more Zeppelin, then this is the box set for you. Buy it, borrow it, burn it....do whatever you have to do to acquire this 4-disc set. It is phenomenal.

Supergrass - I Should Coco

• Decent group. Good album to have if you are partial to this group.

Blur - Leisure

• Is it possible for Blur to make a bad album? This is a personal favorite of mine, but I recommend checking out other early releases such as Modern Life Is Rubbish & Parklife. Also great albums.

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Legend

• Yet another compilation of hits but a must to own if you enjoy peace & happiness in Marley-vision.

Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness

• 2-disc set released in the mid-90s. Not a bad set as it produced a handful of hits for the Pumpkins. Not their best but a quintessential release to own for the Pumpkins lover.
  

Built To Spill - Keep It Like A Secret

• The band of a thousand releases. This album isn't bad, but they have a throng of other selections to check out. I recommend doing so.
  

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - The Best of

• Another good compilation to have if you appreciate the artist.
  

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique

• By far, the best Beastie album ever released. Taxi driver, I'm the eggman.
  

Sublime - 40oz. to Freedom

• The best of the Sublime catalogue. Don't waste time & resources with the self-titled, overplayed release. This release is the one to own. Robbin' the Hood is also worth checking out.
  

Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

• One of many great albums from quite possibly one of the greatest groups of all time. Not as high on the lovable scale as say Revolver, Rubber Soul, or perhaps the White Album, but it gets plenty of love.

That's all from the this side of the freakbow. Stay tuned next time for a heated post & tirade involving NCAA bullshit, mascots, history, and tradition.
