Chickenfoot
Best Van Halen release this decade, hell, since OU812 in 1988. What, you say, there hasn't been a Van Halen album this century? Well, there is now, it just doesn't have the VH brothers in it.
Cracker - Sunrise in the Land of Milk & Honey
The seventh album in my vault with this version of the David Lowery hour. If you don't find yourself smiling at least a half dozen times while listening to this album, then you just don't get it, do ya?
Decemberists - The Hazards of Love
If you are just now discovering this band with this release, do yourself a favor and backtrack to Picaresque or The Crane Wife. After listening to these two for the last three and four years, Hazards pales in comparison. Don't get me wrong, Hazards is an excellent release, but the other two will receive consideration for my "Best Of The 21st Century..So Far" list.
About Me
- Mad Rocker
- More than seven years of professional radio experience and over twenty years in music retailing have provided many opportunities to introduce friends, family, co-workers and customers to great music in four different decades. Out of the biz now for more than five years, I still seek out new music to add to my enormous collection. Most in my age group gave up on finding new music years ago. To quote a line from Crack the Sky, "Why don't they make music for us anymore?" Well, they do, and I share my discoveries in a manner that is intended for those who know me, but can be appreciated by you who do not. I am not a reveiwer paid to have a piece available upon a recording's release, I write only after several listens and sometimes several weeks of spins. Feel free to comment, suggest, and enjoy!
