I figure here is as good a place as any to bring this up.
I love music. I buy a couple albums a week, download a couple more... Where most people watch TV, I listen to music. If I could listen to music 24/7, I would... and then I'd start listening to two songs at once.
Today, I picked up the new Nightwatchman disc One Man Revolution. For those who don't know, this is Tom Morello's -- Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave -- solo stuff. I had a little three song promo disc of it a few weeks back, and was really blown away that it's acoustic! But the songs were good, and I like Morello, so I decided to pick it up today.
It's really ****ing good. Modern day protest bordering on folk music from a guy I only knew for his ear splitting sounds with Rage (never really got into Audioslave). It's still simmering with the anger of Rage, but without the cynicism. Like, it's ok to be pissed about what's going on in the world, but maybe there's something you can do about it instead of just sitting there being pissed. Good stuff.
I recommend it, if that means anything to you.
But yeah, what else should I be checking out? What are some of you guys listening to? (And please, I know, Arctic Monkeys. Yes, blah blah ;) I get the point already!)
