...woking in a music store now, I find that I'm catching up on all the cool stuff I missed out on when I was too busy listening to my dad's Pink Floyd records.
For example: Mercury Rev (Deserter's Songs), old Grandaddy.
Steve Burns, from Blue's Clues, album was pretty cool. "Songs for Dustmites" its called.
Am really won over by the Killers album "Hot Fuss." Its grungy-electro-pop-stuff.
New Doves was ok, but not really that good.
The Latest British Pop Band To Get Everyone Wet: Athlete. They're cool, I guess.
Theivery Corporation's Cosmic Game is also fun.
And you need to get the NZ/Australia version of the OC Mix 2, so that you can have a cool Evermore song without having to bother with Evermore's crappy album.
Oh, and my obligatory New Zealand Music Pimping: Breaks Co-op, Goldenhorse, Phoenix Foundation, the Black Seeds, Dimmer. Also: the Mutton Birds, Straitjacket Fits, and the Chills. These last three will reliably serve your musica obscura quota for the month.

The BS
Oh, and, I need someone to point me to reliable OC season 2 torrents. Crappy late night Fridays means I have no idea if Ryan and Marissa got back together, or if Seth ever made it to tahiti, and etcetera...
