New Stuff on the ipod...
1)Sean Panting - “Receiver” & “Victrola” These are separate albums, but really they should have been packaged together. One is pretty rockin' and the other is basically acoustic versions of the same songs. It's very good. He's the most interesting of the Rock performers that Newfoundland has to offer.
2)Willie Nelson - “Countryman” I have never been a country fan. I normally would rail against it, but this is an excellent disc. Truthfully it's more of a reggae record. It's also very good. The cover of “The Harder They Come , The Harder They fall” is exceptional.
3)Frank Black – “Black Francis” This is a strange collection of demos that Frank Black recorded just before The Pixies became musical icons. The second disc are new versions of those same songs after the implosion of The Pixies in the mid 90's.
4)Soundtrack - “Lost in Translation” There are some little nuggets on this disc. There is also some stinky shit that would have best been left out. (And never to see the light of day...) Kevin Shields put some goodies on here, and there is also one of my favorite My Bloody Valentine songs on here. Otherwise it's a little average. Ultimately this is like a greatest hits package for the post college hipster dufus.
