Illogic - Got Lyrics?
Savath & Savalas - Apropra't
Rjd2 - Since We Last Spoke
Jason Forrest (Donna Summer) - The Unrelenting Songs of The 1979 Post Disco Crash
All have been reviewed in the Nick Heads thread IIRC, except Rjd2 which is more poppy than hip-hoppy and a bit of a disappointment.

Yo La Tengo-Summer Sun
Interesting but so far I prefer 'I Can Hear The Heart...'. This is just too doodly in places, and I keep waiting (in vain) for the big crunching guitar track.

(New Wilco album on order-goody!

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free Skinners's concept album. Musically awkward in places but excellent rhymes/couplets. Modern day Shakespeare? It'd make an interesting short film/play.
Morrissey - you are the Quarry
First foray into Mozzer territory. Cutting, sarcastic, touching and humorous. Tops!
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child
Double CD for a tenner from Fopp.

Ben Andrews :- The Blue Riders Ride Again
Anyone with even just a passing interest in "blues" should get hold of a copy.
The best £12 I've spent since his last disc
BRILLIANT

Angels Horses and Pirates by 'Little Blue'. Heard about this one from my friend J.N. A cracking album, not one duff track.

Do You Remember? Yeah Jon
Bob Mould's one of those quiet genius types who deserves much more recognition I reckon.
The Pixies are well overrated.

I could listen to tracks 1-4, on repeat, at paint peeling levels, all day. One of my favorite runs in pop music.
(Oh, I'm assembling an order of Slateresque magnitude to be split b/n Amazon and B&N. More later...)

Rufus Wainwright - Want One
Some good stuff on here, but much of it spoiled by the 80s style production (choirs, orchastra, kitchen sink etc). The best tracks are the slightly more stripped slower songs. Pretty good though.
Graham Coxon - Happiness in Magazines
Thanks to Bruce for this, I think it's great. His voice can sound remarkably like Alban's at times (though not as good) but I just think its a great colection of songs (after the average first two tracks). Much Much better than the other album of his I have.
Ry Cooder - Into the Purple Valley
This is only the second Cooder album I have, after being put off by the disapointment of Paris, Texas. This is excellent however, mostly acoustic Dust Bowl style folk. His vocals are only average, but the arrangements are excellent.
I'll have to try some of his other stuff now, though his style seems to vary somewhat. A book I have recommends 'Bop till you drop' but this gets a fairly average review on 'allmusic.com' which seems to like 'Paradise and Lunch' above most others.

This has always been my favourite Bad Company album, I like pretty much every track. You should be able to pick it up for around £5 at music Zone amongst others.

Kathryn Williams - Relations
Some fantastic covers here - the Ivor Cutler one was a nice surprise. This is an absorbing album full of great songs that the band play in their own, usually spell-binding way. I can see it being one of my "regular" plays for a long time. Highly recommended with a glass of wine at midnight.
Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse
This is a good album - very listenable but for this band a bit formulaic, less edgy perhaps. When I listen I seem to know whats coming next, rather than being surprised as with some of their earlier stuff. Worth a purchase though.

7 CDs today - pretty good avarage after a visit in my favourite record store...
In case somebody's interested:
folks, this hasn't happened for a LONG time: Everything still wrapped in their blister packing, except: Eleni Mandell. This is THE discovery of the last six months (and probably 80-100 CD's). As a confessing "Cowboy Junkies"-Junkie I thought nobody could ever top my beloved Margo Timmins in the area of soulful, sensible, musical, whole-felt Country.
I was wrong. Eleni is great. What a pity, that this recording is a unique example in her portfolio. I will give her other "stuff" a try, but I guess "Country for True Lovers" tops it all...
Best regards, freundliche Grüße
Stefan
