What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two).RSS feed

It's Alive! / The New Cars
Speaking of Spinal Tap, as I was in my last post, I'm reminded that they once called themselves The Originals, only to discover that there was already a band called The Originals. So they changed their name to The New Originals, which is both funny and ironic. And sad; funny and ironic and sad. (Geeze, now I sound like a Python routine.)

I mention this because my first reaction to The New Cars is that they ain't the same as the old Cars. They sound like a cover band, doing Ric Ocasek's vocals as if they'd never heard the real thing, or at least didn't appreciate the sound that made them a success. Sad, really. Not as sad as The New Originals, but not good.

(And I'll mention in passing that the band's name caught my attention largely because I'm about to pick up my own new car. Which I hope will be better than this one. And which is wholly irrelevant to the theme of this blog, not that that's stopped me before.)

It's Alive!
