Cold, foggy morning.
Started day listening to disc 2 of the expanded version of "Girlfriend" by Matthew Sweet (see yesterday's note). I'm totally done with that album now.
Put on Joseph Arthur "Come To Where I'm From". I can't remember if I became aware of JA through a Mojo album review or if I just picked one of his albums off the library shelf out of curiosity. In either case, this was the first album of his I listened to and I became very intrigued by him and ended up checking out another five of his albums from the library to hear his stuff. I like him! Of the ones I've heard I like "Come To Where I'm From" best, followed by Temporary People. But I like all of it for the pathos and artistry.
Ok, enough tortured artists for now.
Revisiting The Last Shadow Puppets "Age Of The Understatement" since I've been listening to that similar-sounding The Coral record lately.
Checking out Cut Copy "In Ghost Colours". I'm not much for synth-pop, so we'll see how this goes...
-- verdict: eh, whatever. Ok to have in the background. But if it's just about background music, there's better stuff for me. I did like song #9 "Heart's On Fire" though.
"Twilight As Played By The Twilight Singers". So good to hear Shawn Smith singing!
Van Halen's opening set for Black Sabbath in London 1978.
