not that i listened to it or anything (i swear) but i was looking at the artists on the new transformers movie soundtrack . . . and if people like music from bands such as those, i do completely agree with bowie.

More like if it sounds anything like Pocket Symphony, they can keep it.

New Idlewild "Post Electric Blues" album is very good and I'm on the second listen through.
has anybody heard anything off the new flaming lips double album? i don't believe in listening to material until it is released (i guess i'm a musically old fashioned, lying in wait snob) . . . and somebody just told me that they heard the rumours are already floating that "it isn't sounding too good."

it's funny, this thing called music. the other day on sirius's indie channel they played the new single off the new album by mos def. why they played it i don't know. i have never listened to a single song off any album of mos def and don't really consider him to be "indie.". but after it was done and i thought about it for a few minutes . . . i felt utterly compelled to be in love with mos def, rushing out frantic to buy his new album.
Someone was just telling me a few hours ago how great it was.
was it wayne coyne?
Yeah, he and I have daily music recommendation exchanges.

another convert. mos def is truly one of the great hip hop artists. and his new disc is super too.
also, he's far and away the best rapper/actor ever.
oh and as to how he's indie?
well he began on Rawkus Records, which i believe would make him indie. but truthfully, any rapper that crosses over to the mainly white indie rock crowd gets to play Coachella/Lollapalooza and gets to be on XMU.
Also, he's now on Downtown records which is a fabulous (yet not indie) label which has Justice, MSTRKRFT, Cold War Kids, Santigold, Eagles of Death Metal, etc.
plus, he's one of the only celebrities to publicly dismiss Al Qaeda's involvement in 9/11. (and sharing that view, i admire him for that). thats pretty indie!

He's #69.
Finally getting around to this SPC-Eco.
Nothing all that new or innovative but fans of slow, laid back shoegaze should check it out if they haven't already.

still on the fence if i still like them or not, but i guess i'll wait and see for when the new black crowes album/digital download other album combo is released. and i didn't know pearl jam is releasing a new one in the fall. somehow i feel both bands have finally slipped into that tarpit of "yep . . . heard that on your last few releases."
