What I'm Listening to Today

Rhymefest - "Blue Collar" - People are saying this album takes off where Kanye's "Late Registration" left off. I'm not sure I'd go that far, but it's definitely a hip-hop CD I'd recommend. Best track: "Bullet".

Razorlight - "Up All Night" - Quality Brit-pop-rock. Best track: "Golden Touch".

John Ralston - "Needle Bed" - At times upbeat alt-rock. At other points, delicately delivered accoustic tracks. At nearly all points, good. Best Track: "I Believe In Ghosts".

Regina Spektor - "Begin To Hope" - Somewhere between Tori Amos and Fiona Apple. Best Track: "Fidelity".

I'd also like to re-emphasize my complete amazement at the ability of pandora.com to provide me with an endless list of bands I love, yet have never heard of.
