Santa Claus came to Toronto today. There were lots of little kids all bundled up against the cold and damp in the subway. We went to Edward’s Record World. The best place to buy CDs within a subway stop from my house (it beats HMV and Future Shop).
New CDs
Room on Fire by The Strokes
I saw them do these songs live and had a blast. All 34 minutes of this album are tight.
Rock N Roll by Ryan Adams
Ryan Adams has made a great album. Rolling Stone writes, “The best bullets here are like excerpts from a fantasy mix tape of classic glam and garage rock.”
Meat is Murder by the Smiths
I was 10 years old and living in small town Ontario when Meat is Murder, the second album from The Smiths, was released. It includes How Soon is Now one of the best pop songs ever recorded.
Coldplay Live 2003
I am a total mark for Coldplay. This release includes DVD and CD.
xo by Elliott Smith
A fine singer-songwriter who will be missed.
Some of my Best Friends are DJs by Kid Koala
Audio collages from Radiohead’s favourite DJ.
