So, I don't like rock music. No, really, I don't, for the most part. But let me tell you, the latest Foo Fighters record is just plain good stuff. I dunno what it is, really, but between more-than-competent playing and Dave Grohl's witty lyrics, I find myself actually listening to it more than I thought. (No, I didn't buy it - Bob at the shop has left his copy there since buying it.)
I, of course, have made up for this transgression by listening to one of the Soulwax 2 Many DJs series and am currently enjoying the guilty pleasure that is Kylie's Fever record. I love me some disco, yo.
New Band Alert follows. Listen to The Postal Service as they are all that is right in synthpop. Where Ladytron have their eyebrows painted so that they're permanently arched, The Postal Service seems to get their Emo on with the lyrics and godammit, I find myself actually boogying down to their stuff. A surprisingly competent electronic record, considering that Ben Gibbard from Death Cab For Cutie does the guitar bits and vocals and, well, DCFC isn't known for their synthetic edge. Jimmy Tamborello may be responsible for that, as his band Figurine is all about clicky keyboard noises. A fine album, well worth your sheckels.
