Five Streams For You

The Fatboy Slim album has been available on P2P for a few months, so I've given it a good many listens. It's an interesting album; less of a dance album than a pop/rock album informed with dance elements. I'd rank it as better than his last one, "Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars", but nowhere near the level of infectious geniusness of "You've Come a Long Way, Baby" (which featured "Praise You", "The Rockafella Skank", etc.)

"Praise You" was amazing.

I have to say that this version of "The Joker" is really disappointing. Maybe I just had too high expectations.

The Blues Explosion album is mediocre in comparison to the Black Keys new one.

As for the Tom Waits, I'll just say that he's as crazy as ever; this album fits very nicely into Pitchfork's newly defined "wtf" genre.

FBS new one is better than Gutter. As good as YCALWB. Can't touch Better Living...but what can?

who gives two shits for Tom Waits? the man has steel wool for a voice, like he swallowed that Joplin bitch. he can write songs for others to cover, and they always sound better than anything he can do himself. guess that puts him in the same category as Doug Sahm...great songwriter, pain-inducing voice.

word!

is JSBX's new one on p2p or ng yet?

Bah, I bought both the Black Keys album (fantastic!) and the Blues Explosion's albums. The latter has fantastic contributions, and although it's maybe less musically compelling it's very cool.

I'm gonna send you a package with some crap in it soon up to the VH1 offices..Can I just drop it off? It seems silly to spend money on postage when you're right uptown. :P

Ah yes, more repetitious yet catchy tunes from Norman Cook.
