I See a Darkness is a good one
 
 this weekend I picked up
 
 Von Bondies - Pawn Shoppe Heart (I am surprised how much I like this one, far better than the first in my opinion)
 
 TV on the Radio - Desparate Youth.... (not as good as the EP, will need some time with it)
 
 Deerhoof - Milk Man (not any more accessible than the previous ones, the title track is pretty cool, won't listen very often though)
 
 +/- - You Are Here (really like about 7 of the 11 tracks)
 
 Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans (not as good as Michigan, I did not listen too closely, but it seemed like there were a few too many Jesus references for my liking)

Well, Toots is never bad.
 
 But, it's just what you would expect -- kind of uneven.  The somgs are great of course, and some of the remakes are excellent (The Roots and Bootsy Collins on Funky Kingston for example), but others are forgettable.  All in all, the good outweighs the bad and the album is good for a completist but it's not essential (although hearing Willie Nelson sing on Still is Still Moving to Me almost makes it essential).

 That's oddly coincidental - I listened to that 3 times last evening.
 
 Ever since SXSW, classic country has been sounding real purty.

 the AMG review:
 
 Panda Park is an undeniably brilliant record that finds an uncompromising, always striving-to-evolve band totally on top of its game. To Everybody may have hinted at the direction the 90 Day Men would take with Panda Park, but it still comes as a shock â?? the group has gone from being confounding post-hardcore to defining what could be called post-piano pop. They mash Warm Jets-era Eno, Elton John, Bowie, T. Rex, Wendy, ELO, and the entire history of Chicago's experimental rock into a caterwauling, spaced-out collection of catchy insanity. Is this the first hardcore pop album? It's certainly challenging and unforgiving on tracks like the piercing and awkward "Chronological Disorder" and there's a weirdness that suggests something is impending. But there's no slick, Interpol gloom and doom or '80s keyboard new wave â?? which would have been the easiest approach. On the contrary Panda Park is uplifting, mesmerizing, glittery, and unapologetically psychedelic while sounding rooted in both '70s prog and skewed latter-day punk rock. The 90 Day Men have landed with an album that acknowledges their forebears while owing them nothing â?? and they may be the most relentlessly original band of the year. Panda Park is like Revolver from a group raised on Fugazi â?? God help listeners when they release their Sgt. Pepper.
