Cal particularly likes the second one, because it contains the latest iWhatever commercial earworm. I think I like them both equally--and both will be available (to an extent) for New Year's, at kelpqueen's party.

Whee! Other people who listen to The Gutter Twins!

Well, that one song of theirs, certainly.;)

Remember I told you about that thing that's Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli save the world?

It's basically me putting a concept story to the album that song is from. *g*

Then I'd love to hear the rest of that album, now!

So very glad to see Tarja on there. :)

I think I discover new tracks I like on that album almost every time I listen to it. (Also, she's sort of on my end-of-year mixes twice, because the Nightwish track "Sleeping Sun" I chose to include on 2008.1 is with the Tarja vocal, not the Annette one.

Some of these are wonderful combinations of name and title: "Language City—Wolf Parade," "Atomb Bomb—Fluke."

It's true! Have you ever heard "Atom Bomb", though? Most fun song to contemplate super-villainy to ever.
