NMT 122

Excuse me, ma'am. 1985 called and said writing a check in line at the grocery store is bitchin'.


Our pick this week is a group of young ones. Well, to be fair, everyone is young to us now, we're old. Not too old to function, mind you, but the old where, if you go out, you're coming home at the time you would still be getting ready.

I just picked this up on a whim and I like it. It's got a good feel, the writing is strong and there's a bit of rawness underneath.

It's entirely possible that KG is already sick of this, but she likes Collective Soul, so....

So, from Atlanta, GA;

Manchester Orchestra - "I've got Friends":






Bonus Tracks:


See, it's fun to scream and all that, but sometimes, quiet is the new kick-ass.





I Miss the 90's.


Echobelly - "Insomniac":

NMT 121

Sure is.....warm.



Our pick this week is one that's hard for me to put my finger on. I keep hearing it around and it sounds good, but I can't decide if I like it. It's a bit of a new direction for her, well from her first break-through, massive, can't get away from it hit. She expanded and changed he sound and I respect that. Who knows, this may become a favorite. I like it when people try; that way I don't have to and the world keeps spinning.


This is her break-up album ( I think every artist has to do one of those). I'm not sure if Pirates here are a metaphor for "boys who can't grow up" or what, but at least she didn't go with the Peter Pan theme (Patty Griffin already did it best anyway).


So, from Brooklyn, NY:

Norah Jones - "Chasing Pirates":





Bonus Tracks:

These dudes must have really scored the chicks:
