The Bonnie Raitt album is the only thing from 2005 I've bought this year. I've been on kind of an old-school jazz kick.

Get the DualDisc, the video footage has a Bike!Race to a mailbox.

It's too good. Every song owns.

Interesting. I had no idea Joan Baez had a new album out.

It's a live album.

Worth getting for "Motherland," "Dink's Song," and "Christmas In Washington" alone. Her voice is as beautiful as ever.

Her last studio album Dark Chords On A Big Guitar is a masterpiece, too.

Cold Roses / Jacksonville City Nights - Ryan Adams

No doubt about it. Her voice is one of the best.

We've got violence, wars, and killing too, ALL SHRUNK DOWN IN A TWO FOOT TUBE!! I've heard the world is a beautiful place, WITH VIOLENCE WARS AND THE HUMAN RACE!!

New Order have become a parody of themselves, all down to the cover art which has none of Peter Saville's former brilliance, all down to the generic dance beats they now employ (whereas before they used to craft far more complex rhythmic patterns and helped shaping an entire genre) and all down to Bernard Sumner's lyricism which has grown weaker year by year. Now they're miserable bastards without drugs. I like it!
