    oh and soulsinging i think you're more than cool enough. check out a song by wolf parade called modern world and a song called "you love me" by devotchka. you might be pleasantly surprised! :)

    i downloaded the entire wolf parade album. havent listened to it yet. i looked up devotchka on allmusic and they dont really seem my style. given that ive got a ton of new stuff to listen to these days, it will have to get filed in the back of my head for a rainy day.

    ive been listening to the wolf parade album... it's alright. honestly though, i dont see how you can say the clap your hands guy has an annoying voice and this guy rocks? their voices are pretty similar if you ask me...

    in any case, not too shabby. but i think hold steady beats them both.

    don't know your musical tastes, they are very different from each other. I listen to Boys and Girls in America more however the clap your hands disc for the song This Home on Ice is worth the 10 bucks.

    The Hold Steady from strictly a musical standpoint should appeal to everybody, very rock oriented however depending on how you feel about vocals, both of these discs may rub ya the wrong way.

    Agreed, This Home on Ice is an amazing song....

    The Hold Steady were on Letterman a few nights ago, and I thought they were amazing. I bought "Boys and Girls in America" yesterday and I've been playing the CD all morning. Great lyrics, catchy hooks, and loud in-yer-face guitars. I love it. Nothing wrong with a good old fashioned rock record. There isn't enough of that these days.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    Seriously....the first few times I heard it I wasn't all that into it, but over the past week it is the only album I've wanted to listen to.
