At last! One goal accomplished. Now if I can just win the lottery…

Randy Newman – “Good Old Boys”
M83 – “Saturdays = Youth” One of my ‘soundtrack’ bands. This is their latest.
Various Artists – “Different Strokes for Different Folks” This is a Sly and the Family Stone tribute. Generally, I hate tribute records. But this one is fun – very hip-hop, with Ce-Lo, the Roots, Chuck D, Big Boi, and a bunch of others. They use samples of the originals and re-mix. You got Steve Tyler singing Higher with Sly and Joss Stone and John Legend doing Family Affair. It works.
Simon & Garfunkel – “The Essential Collection” I have the cassette in the car and you forget how many of these songs you actually know.
The Afghan Whigs – “Black Love”
Herbert Von Karajan & the Berliner Philharmoniker – “Tchaikovsky’s Symphonies No. 4, 5 & 6”
Portishead – “Third” Yeah, this is a challenging album. But I like it. At least they didn’t copy their sound from a decade ago. That’s an artist, right?
