Yup. Listening right now. Use It is a fantastic song.

The Warlocks disc is great.

The New Pornographers is also great.

I too downloaded Twin Cinema a while back and will pick it up this week - I think its excellent.

The I am Kloot is getting so so reviews although I really like their previous CD

I will also pick up the Vanderslice

the new new pornos is the best thing they have ever done, and i like the other two records

well its unanimous!!! go get Twin Cinemas!!!

i haven't heard it yet, but the buzz on the new rogue wave is not favorable

For you New Porno fans….here's something fascinating yet incredibly disturbing (especially if you grew up in Canada during the late 70s/early 80s.

Seeing Neko all Stevie'd out is weird. The Burton Cummings look on the keyboardist is awesome. But my fave is the return of the double neck Gibson.

Unfortunately, that damn song is still running through my head. Running…like a bad case of diarrhea. Ick….

i've actually heard good buzz on this one…hmmmmmm.

really, though, next week's New Music Tuesday is what has got me pumped. the new DCFC has already been leaked online and is streamable through many sites, and is really great. i also can't wait for Ok Go :)

Minus the Bear came out yesterday as well.

And he already has his picture up on the internet.

I bought BRMC, NPs, and John Vanderslice. I picked up I am Kloot several months ago while in the UK.

BRMC-Obviously a completely different sound. I am really enjoying it right now but I don't know how it will sit after a few more listens. I am excited to see them live, with them hopefully doing half acoustic/half plugged in.

NPs…exactly what you would expect. top notch pop.

John Vanderslice-Good, but not as good as I was hoping for. Although, the song "Trance Manual" is my favorite song of any of the CDs I have bought in the past few months.

I am Kloot…solid, but not special. I swear they are getting worse and worse, though. Their debut was amazing (one of the few discs that I have consistantly listened to for the past five years). They have failed to live up to their promise.

new pornographers is a fun listen.

I picked up the porno's and howl….

Ive had both downloaded for awhile now….howl I like, its just a departure, but it grows on you

twin cinema is brilliant..I think Use It and Sing Me Spanish Techno are just two great, great songs

Wow, the New Pornos tickets are going to go fast. I also picked it up and am loving it right away. Song #1 has such a great riff. I didn't particularly like Electric Version, but Mass Romantic is in my Top 25 of all time. I loved that disc, and still do.

I also got BRMC but haven't cracked it yet. That's another one where I loved the debut but never really warmed to the second one.

Add me to the "Twin Cinema" lovetrain. Borders (at least the one in Silver Spring) has the new BRMC for $10.99. They had the Warlocks disc as well, but I didn't get it this time. I may have to go back and pick it up. Looking forward to that show with the BellRays. <img src="http://www.dimpleandasmirk.com/_images/avatar.jpg" alt=" - " />

Also, iTunes added the new Franz Ferdinand track, "Do You Want To," to its store. I listened to the 30-second sample. Meh. It's OK, but it doesn't sound that different from anything on the s/t.

THE BLED - found in the flood
also came out…but since pass the flask is one of the greatest albums ever…the new one sucks…with the exception of a couple songs.

Based on what I saw this summer, that will leave a lot of people with tickets to a dull show by a band completely lacking in stage presence and sex appeal.
