That's the one with a capital T. Not to be confused with the "test" album in DTSHD:MA!

At least the song titles are catchy.

I listened to the new Kaki King album some more, and I'm liking it well enough. She sings a bit more, which is nice. I'm listening on my computer speakers, though. I'll have to crank it on the Axioms tomorrow.

Brendan Benson - The Alternative to Love
You may have seen his song, "What I'm Looking For" featured in the new iPod touch commercial. It's probably my favorite Brendan Benson song, and I'm a little ambivalent about Apple getting ahold of it. On one hand, I'm glad he's getting well-deserved exposure, but on the other, do I really want my favorite artists to be associated with Apple smugness? Feist, CSS, and now Brendan Benson. Ha ha. Oh, well. I'll get over my hangup and simply appreciate the fact that more people will be able to enjoy his music. I was surprised to see his song featured, though, since the album is from 2005.
My sister bought his first album, One Mississippi, and we've been fans since. Each album took a little getting used to, but there are gems on each one. Besides "What I'm Looking For," the title track to The Alternative To Love is very cool. I like a lot of moments throughout the album. I think my favorite song to sing along to is "Me Just Purely" off of One Mississippi, though.
Anyway, check him out if you haven't already.

I listened to (and watched the DVD) They Might Be Giants - Here Come the 123s with my kids today. One of my favorite kids albums already and I just got it the other day.

I didn't even know they had Here Come the 123s. I have Here Come the ABCs, which I liked, but I liked No! even more. I'll have to pick up the 123s. I don't have kids, but I need to brush up on numbers. Reasonable?

Nine Inch Nails, Ghosts I-IV, in FLAC, on my Sennheiser 595's. Amazing album. NIN is the perfect blend of techno, electronica, and rock for me. I'm a new fan :-)
Unfortunately my axioms are at home, not at college :-(

I got the D*TV Video on Demand of CMT's Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. They've done an album together and are touring. Amazing, mesmerizing and wonderful. Words are utterly useless to convey the beauty, passion and nuance. I typically enjoy neither country nor bluegrass. This music astounded me.

I also am a fan of TMBG and the ABCs, especially "E eats Everything". We'll have to get the 123s as well.
On my commute, I've been listening to Pete Townshend's White City CD from 1985. I've had it since college, but it'd been a while since I dusted it off. I think his vocals never sounded better, and the story and melody are excellent. The album also sports quite the list of session musicians and friends, including "Dave" Gilmour.
Tom, I'll have to check out that concert. I've been curious, and you tipped the balance.
