New music thoughts/excitement!

Loving Ra Ra Riot's debut album, The Rhumb Line.
It's gotten great reviews, and the songs fosh live up to all the hype.
Their group name reminds me of the beginning of a nursery rhyme Ba Ba Black Sheep...
Don't ask me why.
Check out tracks: "Ghost Under Rocks", "Dying Is Fine" and "Oh, La".
Though the drummer who recently passed on wrote most of the tracks, this group from upstate NY doesn't hesitate in the mourning, but instead will rope in new indie fans from all over.

Also, The Verve is back and better than ever!
After a decade long hiatus, their new album Forth contemplates ideas of Heaven (duly noted on the album cover), and each song is a blend of trippy languid tunes ready to be unwrapped as fall's early christmas present. A nice awakening after their infamous single "Bitter Sweet Symphony", threading their haunted radio past to the talent we always wanted to hear. They have FINALLY refilled the glass with more. "Sit and Wonder" is reminiscent of Bono's voice, but makes me wonder where they were sitting when they wrote it. What sun did they see that day? Sit and wonder about what? Were they on Valium (see "Valium Skies")? Pretty much obsessed w/ "Love Is Noise", because it is.

music music music I love new music to my ears.
in the future if I have no money, at least a stellar record collection will allot bragging rights.
