Just started on "Elephant Shell" by Tokyo Police Club, after that I still have "Combinations" by Eisley, "May Your Heart Be The Map" by Epic45 to listen to and also "With A Lifetime To Pay" by Zero Down which I've had for absolutely ages, but just realised I hadn't ripped to my iTunes.

So my night is set. May report back with what I think of them later. Also currently obtaining the Limited Edition Vinyl copy of Foals' "Balloons", just to see what other songs they have to offer :)

As a guy who enjoyed the first two TPC EPs, the album on first listen is a minor disappointment. I don't mind the songs, but the longer form of a CD really seems to expose the weaknesses of the band's sound. Not to mention, my fave track from the album so far was released several months ago as a single.

Been listening to alot of Paul Gilbert solo albums such as his newest release Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar and along with his first band Racer X, such an AMAZING guitar player.

I was at a friend's house and the Scouting for Girls album was playing. Over the course of the day I heard the whole album at least twice. Now I'm not usually one to hate music, but I hated that album. It was so fucking dire and repetitive. Don't buy it.

YES! I downloaded it a while back. There's 2/3 good/acceptable songs...but it's basically fucking terrible.

In the past day, the new albums by Phantom Planet, Islands, Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Jack Johnson, She & Him and most recently The Presidents of the United States of America. In order of awesomeness: Islands, She & Him, Presidents, Phantom Planet, Del and JJ. All good records though. This was the first Jack Johnson record I've really been able to stick with from start to finish, so even though I rank it last doesn't mean it was bad. The production on Del's record was really dull, but he's a great MC so I have no problem sticking with it. Phantom Planet was samey but fun, and it may get better with subsequent listens. That Presidents holds up this well is honestly a shock to me. Just so silly, witty and fun not to mention more musical diverse than ever so I really enjoyed this one. She & Him was lovely; Zooey Deschanel has a wonderful voice and it rings as being sort of Neko Case-esque (which is good for me). And Islands... awesome. I have a feeling this one is going to take over my iPod like Neon Bible did this year. Just a wonderful record with no forgettable tracks.

So... t'was a good day. :shifty:
