I was able to buy two CDs today, and had to choose between Oasis, The White Stripes, and Coldplay. I didn't get Coldplay. I need to download it first though. I have their other two studio albums, so I'll probably end up getting their new one before too long. The White Stripes CD is ok. It's not as good as Elephant, but it's about even with the rest of their catalogue, which is pretty good in my opinion. I just wish Jack wouldn't let Meg sing. She's fucking awful.

It's going to have to grow on me. Definately don't like it as much as the first two.

yeah, it happens. I didnt really like the Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" when i first got it, but it ended up being one of my favorite CDs.

The new Oasis is their best CD since "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" I think their last few have sucked, but this one is quality. I downloaded it last week, gave it a few spins, and finally went out and bought it. This instance is a testament to the benefit to the music industry of file-sharing. Never in a million years would I have bought the new Oasis disc if I couldn't have tried it out for free first. By the way, if you're looking to purchase the new Oasis disc, go to Best Buy. The Best Buy ones come with a bonus disc with live tracks.

I agree about the new Coldplay. I picked it up yesterday, and was a bit dissapointed at first. I think it sounds very early-80's-alternative-rock-ish, a lot like early U2. I don't think it's nearly as fresh and different as "A Rush of Blood to the Head"

I'm sure I'll get used to it, though.

I caught them doing a couple songs on MTV's preview show, which was on after midnight last night. Chris Martin sings well, but the songs didn't seem so great. One of the songs was 'What If', which is supposed to be a stylistic tribute to John Lennon. I don't "Imagine" it will make anybody forget what Lennon did.

...an amendment to my White Stripes review: It's more that just good - it's exceptional. I still don't think it's quite as good as Elephant, but it's definitely more imaginitive and and consistent than their first three discs. It's probably somewhere in between Elephant and the others for me.

Only the real Bono would say something that pretentious...

Which brings me to a joke I read on the Ted Leo + Pharmacists website:

A guy dies and goes up to heaven. St. Peter is giving him the grand tour of the Grounds, and he says, "So, what were you into back on earth? Like, what were your hobbies and shit?" And the guy says, "Well, I was a musician." So St. Peter says, "Oh Jeez -- well come on! You know what they say about how Heaven must have one Hell of a band and all that -- this is the place for YOU, my brother! As a matter of fact, there's a show about to get underway down at the Celestial Auditorium. You wanna check it out?" Guy: "Hullz yeah!" St. P.: "Well let's get it awn!"
So they go down to the Celestial Auditorium, and the guy's jaw immediately drops to the floor -- on stage, starting the show is someone playing the most rippingest version of the "Star Spangled Banner" ever, and the dead guys is like, "Oh my Gawd! It's Jimmy Hendrix!" And St. Pete is all, "Totally. Here come the drums -- check it..." And he hears, like, DUH-DUH-BAP! DUH-DUH-DUH-BAP! And he realizes, "Holy schniekies -- it's friggin' Bonham!" And Saint Pete's playin' it cool, but he's like, "Yup. But wait for it... Now dig the bass." Ding-diggaddy-ding-diggaddy-ding-diggaddy-ding-ding-doomb!! "No way -- it's The Ox! John Entwistle -- he's my favorite!!" Then the singer comes out and starts belting, "eeeeyah-hooooooo-hoo-hoo-hoooooo! Hoooo-ho-ho-ho!" And the dead guy is really puzzled because it's obviously Bono, so he turns to St. Peter and says, "But wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute -- Bono's not dead, is he?" And St. Peter sighs and says, "No no no -- that's Jesus -- he just thinks he's Bono."
