Live At Sin-é by Jeff Buckley. Can I tell you a secret? I've never understood the appeal. Actually, that extends to most of our taken-too-young songwriters like Nick Drake and Elliot Smith. I can't put my finger on the reason why.Once a year I try listening to JB, certain I'm missing out on something. And I can hear the talent but it just doesn't move me. But I'm trying.

The Best Of The Rykodisc Years by Josh Rouse. This compilation is a pretty good introduction to his poppier/rockier stuff. I only started listening after a few people compared my sound to his. (Favorably, I suppose.)

The Globes EP by The Globes. Explone opened for them at the Crocodile in January. Proggy without the wizard robes. Bought.

The Dream Of The Blue Turtles by Sting. Rediscovering this one. His first and best solo record. More jazz-rock and less Sade-style romance and "soft favorites" arrangements. ("Mercury Falling" is where I fell off the bus.)

Starfish by The Church. A rediscovery! A band I used to sub on bass with back in college used to cover "Under The Milky Way," gotta go find that cassette.

Orgasmatron by Motorhead. This record came out when I was in high school but I didn't get into metal until college. If all you've heard is "Ace Of Spades," you need to hear this record. (Later: bought it.)

This is Jonna Lee by Jonna Lee. You might know why. Or not.

Kiss, by Kiss. This. And Destroyer
