It’s been awhile. Still haven’t uploaded anything I came home with from the Warped Tour (where is that stuff?) But these bring me to 7350 songs or 22.2 days.

My Morning Jacket - “Okonokos” This is their double live record. Also their recording of “Rocket Man” that appeared at the closing of Californication.
Police - “Reggatta De Blanc” Not a big fan anymore, but this is good.
Squeeze - “East Side Story”
G Love - “Lemonade” Can G Love be bad?
Healing The Divide - This is the name of a charity for the benefit of the Dali Lama and the people of Tibet and this is the CD of a concert given at Lincoln Center in 2003. The Dali Lama speaks. There is an invocation by the Tuvan Throat Singers. Anoushka Shankar plays. Philip Glass plays and so do some Navajo indians. THEN there are four songs by Tom Waits and the Kronos Quartet! What a wierd and amazing pairing. And it works.

How’s this for a crazy batch?

Ryan Adams - “Easy Tiger” I like him, but I didn’t like the three albums he put out a year ago. He wasn’t writing songs, he was just trying to be Jerry Garcia. He is back to songs now.
Black Sabbath - “Volume 4″ My favorite - and only! - Sabbath record. Given to me on vinyl many years ago by my aunt.
Grace Potter & the Nocturnals - “Nothing But The Water” Native of Vermont. Rickie Lee Jones voice with a Lucinda Williams edge.
Husker Du - “Zen Arcade” A great band.
Broken Social Scene - “You Left It In People”
Tom Waits - “Nighthawks At The Diner” This will be the 9th Waits album on the ol’ iPod. But you can NEVER have too much Tom Waits. Or Neil Young, for that matter.

Chocolate Jesus!
