El Oso by Soul Coughing. I’ve been listening to the song “Rolling” obsessively on the way to work – listen, repeat, listen, repeat. I really wish they’d made more albums.
This is a teenaged, skinny English girl singing the blues- and belting it out like she’s got years of pain and an extra hundred pounds. It’s beautiful.
And the cover of the White Stripes song is far from the best on the album.
Last CD I listen to was Fragments of Unbecoming’s Skywards: A Sylphe’s Ascension. If you’re really into melodic death metal–like, really into it–it might be worth picking up. Me, I wasn’t so impressed.
There are two discs in our home player, both the Pogues: If I Should Fall From Grace With God and Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash. The latter was the last one in the car CD player yesterday, but my daughter pulled it out so she could finish listening to it today.
There’s nothing quite like hearing your eleven-year-old singing along to the Pogues - and reading the lyrics at the same time. :eek:
I’ve got a 5 CD changer, with only three discs in it at the moment:
The Beatles: Complete BBC Sessions (2004 Upgrade, Remastered Edition) Disc 5
Robert Plant: Austin City Limits
and a CD with the latest edit of the multitrack demo of the song I wrote and recorded last week, so I can get really familiar with how I want it to go when I re-record it next week.
