I'm too lazy too comment on most of them but I really like Elefant and Caesars are a lot of fun. Spiritualized's Amazing Grace took a little bit to grow on me but I really like it though I think it needs a little more production. I love the song called Rated X.

 SPARX, I really liked the Blood Brothers single by the Tyde. Kind of like a strokes ish romp but with a synth thrown in. As far as the albums go I much prefer Once, its starting and ending songs, all my bastard children and silvers Okay Michelle being great tracks. the former sounding rather a lot like BJM....

New additions
 
 Dean W. and Britta P. "L'Avventura"
 Radiohead "Hail to the Thief"
 
 I have to say, for a duet album with 6 covers, the D&B record is far better than I imagined.

Yeah Jadetree, I really like the new Dandy Warhols and cannot stand what I've heard of The Thorns.
 
 Earlimart and good too. Not great but a very pleasant change now and then. BTW, they are coming back to The Ottobar. Don't remember the date but it's listed on my calandar if you want to check it.

CD Warehouse had that Earlimart EP with the Elefant and Moving Units EP in a package for $9.  Its not what I thought it would be but I like it.  The Elefant cd is good as well.

Yes, I did. The music carried over very well. In fact, they are a fun band to see live. Especially the one curly headed guitar player who is a wild man. Not up to the showmanship of The Hives or TSOOL's but good as a support act.
 
 Of course, Kurosawa and I had the extra comedy attraction of the biggest nut in the house. Man, he was funny as shit. This guy standing right behind us kept yelling at the top of his lungs to Kurosawa and I to "Go ahead girls! Show him some leg! Get all riled up!! Yeah!" (Not that he needed it.) Oddly, this guy didn't pass over the edge into obnoxiousness as some of those type do.
 
 If you ever get a chance to see them live, do so. You will enjoy them.

 This compilation is excellent. Has anyone purchased the Rogers Sisters album? Is it as good as the song on this compilation (called Zero Point)?
 I also just bought the Saddle Creek 50 compilation (alert: on sale at Olssons). Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.
 Other purchases:
 Stellastarr* -Somewhere Across Forever EP (they rock)
 Soledad Brothers live LP (very good!)
 !!! - new EP (I'm not that impressed, actually)
 Radiohead (of course)
