np: "now you're leaving" - prefuse 73

how fucking excited am i about this team-up? DJ Dangermouse (he of Hova/Beatles mash-up infamy) and MF Doom are stepping in the ring all tag team style to bring you some hot beats on some next level [Adult Swim] shit. read more here, and check out preview track "Mince Meat" on this joint.

The Logic of Elliott is a Chicago trio that you are going to want to remember the name of. caught a quick set at the Pontiac last weekend and got my ass throughougly rocked. think Sleater-Kinney with a little more of a metal heart. hot shit though, for sure. i think i'll expand on my thoughts next week and offer up a song for y'all.

X&Y is good. that's all i'm gonna say on that. i'll be sick of it once "Speed of Sound" and "Fix You" get played to death, but for now i'm enjoying the album more than i expected to. hate if you must, but i really think Coldplay takes a lot of shit they don't deserve.

i don't know what i think of Get Behind Me Satan just yet. it's good, i just don't know how good it really is. but while i do figure it out, ponder on the fact that Jack and Meg have now released 5 consecutive really solid to downright outstanding albums. that's no simple task and a streak that a lot of bands would kill to match. i'm curious to see how the Strokes will match up after album number five ( if they make it that far).

speaking of the Stripes, how awesome is "Blue Orchid"? its even better when you imagine Jack is actually singing "you got an erection... you tickled my orchid / turned it blue". but whats up with that single cover? is that R. Kelly and his closet?

anyway, thats it for today. i'm gonna head off to Reckless here in a bit and get my shop on. enjoy the weekend. and let's hope the Cubs crush those BoSox.
