This is a short news bulletin to let everyone know that the baby is due today, but the little guy is stubborn and isn't ready to enter the world just quite yet. I heard somewhere that there is only a five percent chance that you will have your baby on the due date. Sounds about right since this is not an exact science by any measure. Expect more updates soon because we're on live baby watch, and you've heard it here first.
Lightning Seeds - Pure
Continuing on my power-pop flashback theme, here's a song that fits the bill perfectly. Is it me, or does there seem to be an overabundance of lead singers named Ian? Anyways, enjoy the rest of your Friday!
Here is a band that I'm loving right now. Their new album drops on the 5th of August, so be sure to check it out. PDX Disclaimer: They will be here on the 24th @ the Towne Lounge -- so don't miss 'em!
The Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight
We watched High Fidelity tonight (which was my -- oh, I don't know, umpteenth time!), and thought what better than to post my top five (ok, I lied, how about 10*!) records of all time. So, here goes:
- The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream -- Perfection!!
- U2 - The Joshua Tree
- Sigur Ros - Ágætis Byrjun
- Radiohead - OK Computer
- The Cure - Disintegration
- Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
- The Pixies - Surfer Rosa
- The Beatles - The White Album
- The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Methodrone -- crap, "Take it from the man" and/or "Thank God for Mental Illness" could as well be here, too
- PJ Harvey - Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea
**Honorable Mention**
- Jeff Buckley - Grace
- The National - Alligator
- Peter, Bjorn, and John - Writer's Block
- Stereolab - ABC Music: The Radio 1 Sessions -- more of a compilation, but still a favorite
- Superdrag - Regretfully Yours
- Interpol - Turn on the bright lights
- Elliott Smith - XO
- Beck - Sea Change
- Explosions in the Sky - The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place
- Coldplay - Parachutes
- Nirvana - Nevermind
- The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
- The Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill
That's a wrap, folks. I know there are some that I missed, but that's where you step in. I'm interested to hear what YOUR top records are...
* I couldn't help myself and had wa-a-y to much fun doing this
