What I'm Listening To ...

I guess it is to be behind the times than not with them at all, or at least that is the case with some of my more recent purchases, Spoon's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and Imperial Teen's The Hair The TV The Baby & The Band.

I've got to say, while I like the Spoon album, I find it hard that so many people have it as the best album of 2007. No knock on the band or the album, but I'm not sure is best-of-the-year good. Meanwhile, Imperial Teen's release is quite strong. I didn't see it on many of those Best of lists, proving musical group think once again. Maybe not enough people knew it came out, but much like Nada Surf, Imperial Teen proves they are more than a '90's one-hit wonder.

Now for new stuff that I've managed to find time to listen to this week. Weinland has a new album coming out in March '08, named La Lamentor. I've got to say, I was impressed. It's well written and melodic. While Weinland doesn't sounds like The National or Band of Horses, if you like those bands, you'll probably like Weinland as well.

Speaking of, the Band of Horses album Cease to Begin is absolutely amazing. I can't believe I waited so long to buy it. It is there best album yet.
