28 May 2006

1. The Innocence Mission – Live at Schubas 06/18/2004 (eMusic)
2. French Kicks – Two Thousand (Startime International/Vagrant)
3. The Sleepy Jackson – Personality (Astralwerks)
4. Keane – “Is It Any Wonder?”

   Barely publicized gig next month at Bowery Ballroom sold out in eight minutes!

5. Gnarls Barkley – “Crazy”

   This song has hit me like it has hit everyone else—no escape, it seems…

6. Shack – On the Corner of Miles & Gil (Sour Mash U.K.)
7. Ron Sexsmith – Time Being (V2)
8. Arctic Monkeys – Who the F*** Are Arctic Monkeys? EP (Domino U.K.)
9. Grant McLennan – “Haven’t I Been a Fool”

   The second track from Watershed, it has always a been favorite of mine, and I have been playing it on guitar all week. Certain lines give me the chills especially now—“Tell the funeral man I don’t like powder on my face” and “I thought by now, we’d be on, we’d be further on.” R.I.P., Grant.

10. Pavement – Slanted & Enchanted: Luxe & Reduxe (Matador)
