Favorite albums so far this year...

I thought I'd like it even though I've never been that into MMJ after I saw them perform Amazed on SNL. It sounds dull on the album.

im a mmj fan but i can admit that the ammount of great songs per album are decreasing. but they are trying new things which is cool. highly suspicious is silly tho.b

i know it came out last year but band of horses' cease to begin made its way back i nto my car stereo this week. love that album.

any fans of bonnie prince billy's latest, 'lay down in the light'? i find it quite great and very good-spirited and jolly compared to the letting go. tom played a lot of drag city a few years ago and i dont think hes very found of oldham. but i must say that is a very trustworthy, and my favorite, lable.

Do re-releases count?  I'm really enjoying this:

The new Shearwater album is beautiful.

[dvdv]

anyone else listening to evil urges?

I am.  It's sequenced a bit oddly as the four "weird" songs are all in the front while the middle and end sound like more "regular" MMJ.  Though it doesn't have any HUGE singles like "One Big Holiday", Im still enjoying this one from front to back.

A friend bought that french Synth Wave album, and he keeps playing it around me. Of what I've heard, I'm really digging it. I may pick up a copy for myself.

I wanted to see if anyone would buy that and apparently I caught you in a vulnerable moment with your sarcasm meter being off and all.

I don't know how well it's generally regarded but I really liked The Letting Go.  "Strange Form of Life" in particular is one of my favorite songs of his.  I've listened to Lie Down... several times now and with a couple of exceptions the songs haven't formed much of an impression, even though I like what I hear overall.   I suspect it's a grower.  Tom doesn't strike me as an Oldham fan but has pronounced him "funny" on the show.

According to Jim DeRogatis, you should buy 2 or 3 copies of this album.  He even goes so far to say that Heartsongs is worth 20 good songs.  Just reading some of the lyrics makes me cringe "Gordon Lightfoot sang a song about a boat that sank in a lake / At the break of the mornin' a Cat name Stevens found a faith he could believe in/Eddie Rabbitt sang about how much he loved a rainy night / ABBA, Devo, Benatar were there the day John Lennon died ... These are my heart songs / They never feel wrong."
