and others...

Eagerly anticipating the arrival of Weezer's 'Raditude' next week, as well as Them Crooked Vultures on Nov 17th.

Spinning in the car CD player right now...

Luck o' the day!

So I'm totally geeked out because a couple of my personal highly-anticipated albums for the whole year come out on Tuesday and I was able to get them yesterday (5 days early). And they rule. The NASA "Spirit of Apollo" is everything I hoped it would be (after a six year germination, no less). And the new Red Hot comp, "Dark was the Night," is even better than expected, from what I've listened to so far. If you are in any way a fan of music, get both these albums immediately.

Also, I got the new M. Ward album, but have not had the chance to listen through yet.
