My first impression was that it wasn't quite as instantly memorable as "You Were Here", but it's definitely a grower, I had the whole album stuck in my head after just a few more listens. "Pendulums" is my favourite song on the disc, and I'm also loving "New Enemy" and "Took It All", but really, they're all good...I think I prefer the Men With Brooms version of "Silver Road" to the new one, but that's a minor complaint :) In any case, it's easily my favourite album of the year so far, now I can't wait to see her on the 26th and 27th (couldn't resist buying myself tickets for both shows!) As for other new music, I've been listening to Kanye West's "The College Dropout" a lot, and I'll also throw in a recommendation for Courtney Love's new album...nobody seems to be paying much attention to it with all the other drama she's been generating lately, but I think it's excellent, sort of a combination of the best elements of Live Through This and Celebrity Skin. I should also throw in a shameless plug for my friend Dan's band All State Champion, who just released their first full-length "Is It Nothing To You" on Five One Inc, a small indie label out of California...they're a really good "post-hardcore" band (whatever that means), sort of in the same vein as Fugazi. ************************************************************* Mike Keast (mikekeast@email.com ------------------------------ End of headline-girl-digest V7 #19 **********************************
