Do not decode these cries of mine, they are the road and not the sign

Greg Dulli will steal your girlfriend.

When you listen to music and scrobble through Last.fm, it brings up a window that talks about what you are listening to. Normally it starts with something like this: "Greg Dulli (born May 11, 1965) is a singer and instrumentalist.". Enjoyably, Mr. Dulli's entry starts with the sentence in the subject of my blog. I dont know if there any Afghan Whigs or Twilight Singers fans out there, but if you know them im sure it makes you smile. Greg's digital only live album came out this week, and im giving it its first spin now.

Hmmm, i guess there is no spinning when it's a digital only release?

My buddy Tony keeps asking me where Coldplay's latest is gonna end up on my Top 30 list for 2008. I gotta be honest, while i think Coldplay took a huge step forward making this album, its still only hovering around 25 on my preliminary lists which make it anything but a safe bet to make the list. Ill listen to it a few more times over the next few weeks.

So this is my "Speak now or forever hold your peace" moment. Anyone out there floored by an album or two that you want to make sure im considering for the year end list? Let me know what is making you smile musically, and ill try to give it a listen before i start to finalize things. Nothing worse that finding out about an album in jan or feb that would have made a serious mark on last year's list.

So tell me people, what albums should i be listening to?
