'Costello Music' by The Fratellis. They are the best young band in the UK. I saw them live a couple of weeks ago and they are absolutely brilliant. I was with a load of kids and they thought it was really funny that a casual Mod 'Dad Rocker' was dancing and throwing shapes and singing along with Chelsea Dagger and Baby Fratelli with arms aloft and fag in gob.
Mon The Fratellis.

just this morning got my hands on the new set by tom waits. it's a hefty one, as most of you know by now, three cd's, 56 (?) songs and a price tag to match. $75 AUD it cost me, but i'd gladly pay three times that. brilliant stuff at first listen, but i'm only very slowly crawling my way through the 'brawlers' set at the moment. something tells me the 'bastards' cd is really going to be something special.

i shouldn't have to really do much encouraging here people, you know you need this, and now. don't waste any more precious time! take one of these 'orphans' home today! and another for your mother.

i'm out, this may take me a while to work through. see you bastards on the other side!

I'm hoping Santa brings me the Tom Waits set... I just got a fantastic 78 by Georgia White, her version of Lucille Bogan's "Alley Boogie" b/w "I Just Want Your Stingeree", as well as adding another Delmore Brothers 78 to my collection. I love those guys.

just got this myself. and it is great, Rock & Roll with Jimmy Page sounds like it was written for Lewis. Twilight, with Robbie Robertson on guitar, is a highlight for me. Unlike anything the Killer's ever recorded, i think.

There are a couple of bum tracks tho. i must agree with the reviewer who wrote: "if you had a dog that sang half as bad as rod stewart does on What Made Milwaukee Famous, you'd take it out back & shoot it". kid rock is pretty crap too, needless to say. but overall, this is an amazing album, and one that i sure didn't see coming.

There'll be no waitin' on Santa at this house! Tomorrow evening my husband will bring home the Orphans boxed set, which we had to order from our friendly independent record store, whose owner says has no plans to stock it!

ahahaha yeah, it seems that Stewart was hanged at the mic to sing that song, but kid rock it's not so bad...well..maybe it's just the track itself...in the whole album I can't really find a bad track ...the killer is still the killer!
