what are you listening to lately?

My recent purchases (Last week):
Shack ...Here's Tom with the Weather. This is a shack CD through and through. It seems to be much happier, but has the same signature guitar sounds and vocals.

Royksopp - Melody A.M. A nice mixture of background type electronic and electronic pop songs. Very easy on the ears.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Take them on on your own. a good rock CD, and not nearly as derivative as their first. Seems they are getting a sound of their own, a little more upbeat and catchy than the first.

Los Lonely Boys - A trio of brother from San Angelo, Texas. nice heart felt rock, along the same lines as Los Lobos, but not quite as diverse. This CD has Willie Nelson's hands in it FWIW.

Turin Brakes The optimist LP - Along the same lines as their second LP which I had bought first. Quiet british indie bordering on folk.

I didn't say I preferred Los Lobos, I said it seemed that LLB were a little more entrenched in one sound than Los Lobos. I dont think I have listened to this LLB album enough to make a judgement of which I enjoy more. its good to see they are getting a widespread audience though. They were playing a music festical I was at this weekend and unfortunately I missed them, but I did see los lobos, and they were fantastic.
