I have one of his, not sure which.  I like it, but forget about it for years at a time.

Has anyone heard the new Rufus Wainwright?  We saw him do one of the songs on Conan and enjoyed it quite a bit.

Brilliant - Ultravox

<Insert album art here>

So far, I'm digging it. The songs are solid and the sound is enough of a callback to their past glory but with enough contemporary touches that it doesn't feel like they are trying too hard to reclaim their past success. Highlights (for me) are: Flow, Rise, Hello, and Remembering. And for all the people who accuse Muse of stealing from Radiohead, I challenge them to listen to 'Hello' and hear where Muse really got it from. Midge still has the pipes and Billy Curie is still amazing on the keys.

The recent 2-disc reissues of the first three Small Faces albums.  Great liner notes, photos and graphics.  Most importantly, the sound is fantastic--especially on the mono version of their second self-titled album (two self-titled albums...makes me wonder if The Velvet Underground, Os Mutantes, Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Peter Gabriel were all taking notes).  Strange, but the reissue of that album is in a hardcover-book styled format whereas the other two are in digipacs.  Also, those other two have a much longer essay in each.  Not sure what the deal is there.  Will also doubtlessly be springing for the 3-disc reissue of "Ogden's" eventually.

Fans of the jingle-jangle lovliness of Teenage Fanclub's Songs from Northern Britain will love this. And right now they are offering a free download of the brilliant "Into the Light" on their website.

I just went back and listened to their first album and it's way different.  Well sorta way different. 

The second one is all Byrdsian jangly guitar psychedelic power pop.  The first one is more heavy, psychedelic gaze-y/stoner.  Sorta Pink Floyd meets Stone Roses.

They are both good.

Yeah, the first one is quite different from the new one, although there are a couple of Floydian type tunes that found their way on the new one.

Yeah - love that new Shoes album! So nice to hear from them again after all this time. They are undoubtedly my favorite powerpop band of the early-80's.

When I worked for Bogart's booking agency I tried in vain to get The Shoes booked there. The band appreciated my efforts and sent me an awesome care package of goodies. LOVE THEM!!

I knew you would be the one person on this board who would be as (or more) excited about that album as I was!
