Its not just about the shows....
Even though i did not like the Peaches song that Erin suggested, it did give me an idea. Let the other members of RC know what you are listening to. Maybe you have found the proverbial 'diamond in the rough", or maybe it is a lost classic that we may have forgotten. Song, album, EP, video, whatever, it doesnt matter. It can be good or bad, soft or hard (no comments please). I will begin: Right now I am listening to Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth. I havent heard it in a while and I quite like it. Teeange Riot is a catchy tune. Before that I was listening to Awesomer by Blood on the Wall (which sounds a bit like Sonic youth with the chick singer and all), for those of you who dont have this CD, I think it is a must have. The CD I have been listening to repeatedly before going to bed is The Complete Guide to Insuffciency by David Thomas Broughton. It is kind of a folky, Nick Drake/Antony and the Johnsons type sound. Probably not for everyone, but I quite like it. Also been listening to a great deal of 1964-1967 era Bob Dylan. Excellent. What have you been listening to?

Knowing how you might be offended (or get really angry) if this lingers out here too long, I think it's a nice touch. I'm interested in the David Thomas Broughton...maybe you can bring it to HQ tonight.
I haven't been listening to much by way of CDs lately, so I've little to add. I have been enjoying Hot Jazz Saturday night on WAMU. Yeah, I know. No jazz. But this jazz and swing from back in the early 20th Century, and it kicks ass. I'll bet Dan's friend Jim Neighbors likes it. He plays the clarinet and all...
I have been craving The Cult, though. Fire Woman? Anyone have any of that shit? If they were playing at Jaxx, I'd be all over it.
I was very excited to hear the new album by The Thermals. I've been waiting for it for a while. I was encouraged when Pitchfork gave it a "Best New Music" rating. However, it was slightly disappointing on my first listen. Definitely not as good as their last album, "Fuckin' A". Right now I'm listening to an album by Mew. Not bad. I'll post my favorite new albums sometime this week.
