Dan, yes i've heard the new yeah yeah yeah's. i haven't listened to it over enough times to form a solid opinion. it's different. not so raw nor as multifacited as fever to tell. take maps and turn it into a albums worth of similar sounding songs and thats what you get. Ummm... or maybe not. who knows. The new flaming lips is quite good, have you given that a whirl? If not,do so it's full of lovely psychedelic crunchy guitars. MMM. Wolf mother is savage, thanks for nyk to turning me on to them. My most coveted music possesion of the moment is however THE TRIALS OF VAN OCCUPANTHER. also known as the new midlake to be released in june. Nothing less than divine, everything one could want from a second release (or third). I'm eagerly awaiting the new tool, the single should wet may appetite, april 17th. Hmm also downloaded the new velvet teen single Gyzm kid. They've gone completley different direction, should be interesting to see. Where as elysium was beautiful, the new recording is Glitchy and Abrassive and the drumming is intense. Hmm anything new on your end music wise that i should look into?
