I'm kinda looking forward to rocking out to this while skiing this season.

I've been playing this album to death on my ipod...

Last order of Music I got was : U-melt, Juggling Suns, Lotus, Greyboy Allstars, Brotherhood of Groove, String Cheese, and Yamagata. All good stuff! In the on-deck purchase is the new album by Lettus. I like Bell X1!

That Lenka song is interesting. Have to listen to some of her other stuff.

Rocking Silversun Pickups latest album, Swoon lately. Can't get enough. At first, I was unsure because it was a different feel than their last two albums. But it has REALLY grown on me. Such a great driving rock album... I listen to it every time I run and it just carries me along. Love the bass vamping and the beats are just the way I like em.

I didn't know they had a new album out. Thanks, I'll check it out.

It is a lot different feel than Carnavas. It has really grown on me, I don't even listen to Carnavas any more. Really sick beats on Swoon. Just really driving stuff, so it is more a one dimensional style to the album. That video for Panic Switch was an okay first single but I think they could have done better with other selections. Everything is so good though. Can't wait until they get up to New England on their tour! They have gone everywhere except New England!!! Gah! Tough when you like a band that is well known but not yet attained "superstar" status when they are on the west coast. They don't seem to get out east too often at this point.

I did about 10 hours of driving plus a ferry ride plus a lot of bicycling with the iPod shuffle.

Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood Live at Madison Garden
Some old Chicago off their first 4 or 5 albums
A Tower of Power live album recorded a decade ago
Some acid jazz from Jamiroquai and The Brand New Heavies
A bunch of old Traffic. John Barleycorn, Low Spark, Shootout
A bunch of Alternative like Finger Eleven and Faith No More
Pretty much all of the Talking Heads

I'm doing some work at the moment so I have Mozart going as background music

Yeah, these guys are awesome. Been waiting patiently for them to get to Boston. And Swoon is a kick-ass follow-up. They also have an EP I bought off iTunes that doesn't disappoint either. And agreed on the Panic Switch comment.

Besides them, been listening to a lot of Phish, and the Heavy Pets, a Phish-esque type jam band that's really, really good. They take jams places like the aformentioned without just simply jamming for the sake of it. Great stuff. (Paradise in October with the Brew....psyched for that one)
