five songs from cds i bought last week

(in ascending order of how good the albums are.)

the flaming lips - pompeii am götterdämmerung
man, i wanted to love this album so much! instead i love this.

brendan benson - cold hands (warm heart)
i know, i already posted this as a video. but gah! that song!

built to spill - conventional wisdom
a few weeks ago someone literally said to me, "not being able to choose a favorite built to spill album is basically admitting you have no personality." obviously lana wilson said that.

destroyer - 3000 flowers
you have to give destroyer some time before you love destroyer! but you will.

calexico - panic open string
and it's the dark horse by a nose. well done, calexico, you've won this round
