While I enjoyed Neil Halstead's solo album,
Sleeping on Roads, and Rachel Goswell's
Waves Are Universal even more, I've been pining for a Mojave 3 release. I've been waiting for
Mojave 3's new album,
Puzzles Like You, ever since
Spoon & Rafter was released. We received it in the mail just this week, and it was a pleasant surprise amongst a rather dry week in albums that were sent to us. It's your typical easy going pop affair, but it has that certain charm that all of the Mojave 3 releases have. I can definitely recommend it.

Consolation PrizesA few days ago, my friend Rollie informed me that I neglected to frontsell the
Phoenix song I played on our last show. Well, I decided it might be a good idea to post it here for all to enjoy, because he said he was his favorite song he had heard that show. The new album,
It's Never Been Like That, is a really good pop record -- nothing more, nothing less. They stripped away the electronic sound that was present on
Alphabetical, and avoided effortlessly skipping from genre to genre like they did on
United, so it's mostly your run of the mill guitar/bass/drum combination. The first four or so tracks are spectacular.

AttentionThe new banner is just acting as a placeholder. I'll have something more attractive up ASAP.

Isaac Hayes Quits South ParkHow convenient is it that Isaac Hayes quits South Park after the infamous Scientology-bashing episode, "Trapped In The Closet?" It's quite a shame, but sort of worth it. The sequence of "This Is What Scientologists Actually Believe!!!" was pretty funny. Although the character of Chef hadn't been going anywhere for quite some time, I'm sure they could have made improvements on it. Hopefully we will at least get another Scientology episode out of this mess.
