Beautiful Garbage - GarbageOh look, my bias is showing. I love, Love, LOVE Garbage. That said this isn't my favorite release from them. Highlights for me include: the opening tune Shut Your Mouth which just rips and rocks, Breaking up the Girl is a rickety roller coaster ride, and the general Chrissie Hynde / Pretenders feel to it. The Garbage Mixer on the CD still kicks. Wish more bands experimented more.
File under: Savvy production.
Nick DrakeNo particular album, because we're brimming with the basics. We just select him as "artist" and hit shuffle, then play. His work makes me feel lonelier than a loon call, but damn it is beautiful.

A playlist lovingly called "Sitar Jams and Other Delights" This playlist just plain rocks my day. It just slays me with its goodness. A cooler-than-me coworker whipped up the order and feel. He isn't a DJ but I'd listen to his show for sure:

- I wanna be a girl - King Khan & The Shrines
- Streets of Calcutta - Ananda Shankar
- Midnight Scream - The Blind Shake
- You will see this dog before you die - The Oh Sees
- Shark - Aries9
- World of mirrors - France Has The Bomb
- Dekinai - Yura Yura Teikoku
- Raise me up - Herucles and Love Affair
- 28 Butts - Little Jackie
- Old to the new - Nice & Smooth
- Yae Yo Fea. Ill Bill and Problemz - The Beatnuts
- Fug - Cymande
- Go Go Power - Sugar Pie DeSanto
- From the moon - Elias Rahbani
- Computer cowboy - Neil Young
- Black is black - Tony Hatch
- Kids don't know shxx - Islands
- North east rising sun - Trans Am
- Remember when - The Black Keys
- Bo Diddley-itis - Bo Diddley
- Splash - The Clique
You know what else is cooler than me? Your taste in music. What are you listening to?
