Bought some CDs yesterday for the first time in a while. Now (along with September/October) is one of the peak periods for new CDs, particularly indie-friendly ones for all the kiddos heading back to the dorms for the start of a new semester.
I can give unrestrained thumbs-up to Calexico’s Feast of Wire and New Wet Kojak’s This is the Glamorous. (New Wet Kojak, originally a side-project for Girls Against Boys, became substantially more interesting than their brother band some time ago.) The Postal Service’s Give Up gets an only slightly less enthusiastic upward appendage, although I’ll likely warm up to it on future listenings. Cody Chestnutt’s The Headphone Masterpiece brings up the rear, a bloated, juvenile mistake that just didn’t meet expectations.
One thought on “new cds”

Calexico is great. I thought I was the only person outside of Arizona and New Mexico who listened to them.
