a kick in

the shins. get it? went to grimey's today and bought the new-ish cd by the shins. it's really quite good. i'm pretty sure i'm the next to last person on this musical planet to check them out, maybe even the last one. what can i say? i keep my head buried most of the time to new music. especcially new music by the "the" bands.

also got the new wallflowers album. probably doesn't have the same type of street cred, but it's really damn good, and surprisingly political. i gotta work on that. it's also in dualdisc format. hoorah for dualdisc.
