PS Indy's CD Checkout List

I've been feeling a lot like Dan lately. Daily stress on the job, got a speeding ticket (first in 5 years !!), and my baseball team (the Cleveland Indians) have been playing like crap.

But as usual, when I get down, I put on a few CD's and feel a lot better.

Collecting and listening to music is a huge hobby of mine and I try my best to keep "hip" and current. From time to time, I will share what I've been listening to lately. Hopefully, you'll get on the Internet and "check them out."

  1. Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock And Roll - Snotty British Pub Rock. Every track is killer
  2. The Artic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - The "IT" British band of the year. A little bit of bit of punk, a little bit of dance, a little bit of attitude, and lots of melody. All the tracks are primo
  3. Steve Wynn & The Miracle 3 - Tick . . . Tick . . . Tick - The king of the Paisley Psychedelic underground makes a record that Neil Young would kill for
  4. The Bellrays - Have A Little Faith - Rock, Punk, and Soul. What else could a guy want?
  5. NOFX - Wolfes In Sheeps Clothing - They hate Bush but what band doesn't these days? A return to form for these punk rockers
  6. V/A - The Lost Classics Of Salsa, Vol. 2 - I never heard of any these artists but each song on here really swings. I thought Vol.1 was great, this is even better.
Let me know if any of these records turns you on.

I like the Arctic monkeys but I can't tell if they are going to be big or a fad. Still listening to the album a few times to get it. It is hard when you aren't a 22 year old on the dole in London.

I bought the new Donald Fagen album and like it a lot. It is as good as his album "the nightfly" and better than his second album that I can't pronounce (except for the great song "tomorrow's girls").

I am trying to like the new secret machines album but it hasn't grown on me yet.

I just bought the new strokes album and it is good, although it has been out a while (I am sure Paul bought it as soon as it came out!)

I really like HARD-FI, and the song "hard to beat" is great. I think these guys blow away the arctic monkeys, but that is just my opinion. We already have Franz Ferdinand :)
