I love this happy ending!
So I came home and Joe had me listen to the new Tears for Fears song off the album Everybody Loves a Happy Ending. I can't wait till it comes out next week! It's been WAY too long.
Another wonderful bit of music came my way this week--the new Bjork album, Medulla. It's a very different album for her, even more lyrically beautiful than her previous ones. She has the Icelandic Choir backing her up on many of her songs. It's really growing on me and I think it ranks up there with her Selmasongs album from the movie Dancer in the Dark, which, if you haven't rented it yet, head to Netflix NOW.
And silly me, I didn't know that They Might Be Giants have two websites! I always knew about tmbg.com but not about the other. Their new album The Spine
is amazing! Just as wacky as all the others, but deliciously different. I can't wait until we go see them on the 18th!
And WOOOHOOOOOO Ken Stringfellow has a new album out! How did I miss that? I used to know him, way back in the Posies days.
I have a picture of me talking with him and Jon Auer, but well, it's not scanned and I looked SO darn geeky. Turns out that he's opening for REM on October 29 but I bet there is no way in hell to get tickets. I'd kill to see him...REM would just be a bonus. Looks like Jon Auer has an album coming out in 2005 which also makes me infinitely happy!
Duran Duran is FINALLY almost ready to release their new reunion album, Astronaut. WOOOOHOOO John is back!
It's pretty scary to think that I've worshipped them for 24 years now. Ouch, I'm old.
