- The Nocturnes, A Year of Spring
I came late to Bowie—or, more accurately, I started late to come to Bowie—there's so much of it, and finding this late-career excellence reminded me that some great figures don't stop being great after people stop paying attention. It's not perfect, track for track, but there are some amazing songs here, and I look forward to learning more.

- Galaxie 500, This Is Our Music
Could it be that the only essential Galaxie 500 record is Copenhagen? - MF Doom, Born Like This
This has one of my favorite tracks on one of my favorite CDs Noodles ever made, but I probably won't listen to the album again, b/c I don't need to hear or support "Batty Boyz" again. - Sebadoh, Smash Your Head on the Punk Rock
Man, "Mind Meld" sure holds the fuck up. So good. - Spoons, Static in Transmission
Right around here this week I started to lose my mind and pursue depths of Can(adian)Con(tent) that I am not sure are good for me, exactly. - Wolfmother, Wolfmother
This is bad, and I like it. I don't know what to make of anything anymore.

"Last Train to Satansville" is a great song title. Shoegaze is just prog with pop vocals, but you aren't ready to have that conversation. - Spoons, The Best
