$2 credit for Amazon Digital. Brought the Wilco album down to $3.99. Of course, it could also be used to download whatever.

Has anyone heard that new Jagger release collaborating with Damian Marley, our own Rahman, Joss Stone, and Dave Stewart?

Haven't listened to much reggae the last few years but I'm really enjoying Midnite's newest- King's Bell- on NPR's First Listen

I won't bother listening to it but I sure enjoyed Klosterman's review of the Lou Reed/Metallica joint.

The universe is predisposed to hate this new Lou Reed/Metallica album, Lulu, and I totally understand why. It's not really designed for people who like music. It sounds like what it is: an elderly misanthrope reciting paradoxical aphorisms over a collection of repetitive, adrenalized sludge licks. Anyone who tries to suggest it's surprising in any way needs to reexamine his or her propensity for being surprised.

There's also a track called "The View" that's pretty mind-expanding if you pretend the lyrics are literally about watching The View.

Bad news, thru Pandora I've grown to like the bluesy/brooding heavy guitar rift music of Jason Molina (Magnolia Electric Co and other incarnations). So went checking to see what is new from him:

Where is Jason Molina? (September 19th, 2011)

Many of you have inquired as to Jason’s whereabouts and well-being since he canceled his tours with Will Johnson in 2009. Over the last two years Jason has been in and out of rehab facilities and hospitals in England, Chicago, Indianapolis, and New Orleans. It has been a very trying time for Jason, his friends, and his family. Although no one can be sure what the future holds, we feel very encouraged by the recent steps Jason has taken on the road towards becoming healthy and productive once again. Unfortunately, because he has no medical insurance, he has accrued substantial medical bills. We are asking all friends of Jason’s music to come together with a showing of financial support for him. Please consider a contribution to his medical fund. Feel free to forward this to any and all appropriate parties. We are hoping to raise whatever funds we possibly can for Jason. He is currently working on a farm in West Virginia raising goats and chickens for the next year or so, and is looking forward to making great music again.
...With our sincere thanks, The Molina Family

Hope this guy can get well and crank out some good music again.

The Handsome Furs are amazing live...that is all.

I've been loving Sound Kapital lately.

So I have this Jeremy Enigk album 'Frog Queen' on my iPod, and I'm not real sure who it came from. My brother or an old roommate or something. But I really, really enjoy it. Thick, orchestral arrangements that are right up my alley.

I'm wondering if anyone here has any thoughts for or against Sunny Day Real Estate, his band. I've never listened to them. If they are worthwhile, where should I start?
