And a cool re-issue: The self-titled David Johansen album, his first solo after the Dolls disbanded.

@Weezy F Baby: What are you talking about? Have you heard "Multiply?" The song is one giant hook. And novelty act? I've been following his career for 10 years now. Yes, guy can sing, but sadly with the new album, I miss the bump.

@Weezy F Baby:

Hmm, while this may or may not be true, all I kept hearing about the guy prior to my introduction of his music, was how I just have to see him live. The black/white thing came later. Or actually, not at all.

@bcapirigi: here's the only context anyone gives for jamie lidell:

"he's white! but he sings like a black guy!"

he's a novelty act. a wack one. novelty wackt? WHERE THE HOOKS AT?

i really hate the jamie lidell album. a lot. but then again i didn’t know who he was until this weekend, so maybe i’m lacking context?

maybe it's just me, but i'm not feeling the portishead like everybody else in the world seems to be. to my ears, it's kinda boring.

then again, i didn't like the last portishead album either. i've always felt them to be kinda overrated.

The Jamie Lidell is top-notch -- way too much to consume in one day. And here's my Santogold review.

I initially thought “Rising Down” sucked ass, but it grew on me.

@moomintroll:

I was very surprised. Retro-y as all hell, but not at all cloying or forced. Was almost enough to make me give a good listen to the AM's again, but life is short.

Very good "spring" album.

Tough week to be an honest to God consumer of things that cost money.

@NickEddy: ITA, I can't be doing with the Arctic Monkeys at all, but Last Shadow Puppets intrigue me.

@Tauwan: I hear you -- especially considering what else comes out this week (HINT: it ends with a "IV").

portishead and santogold also have two of the best album covers i’ve seen lately.

By: NickEddy

Don't know when it came out/is coming out, but that Last Shadow Puppets record is fantastic. And I loathe Alex Turner's real band. It's pretty amazing.

my 2 cents...

I guess I need to look into this Santogold, then.

Oh and a note to record companies across America: Not cool releasing all this good music prior to the first of the month. Trying to break a brotha’s bank account. Jesus. Not a good look son. Not a good look at all…
