Musical Report:

Right now, I would have to say that my favorite album is: The Brave and The Bold by Tortoise and Bonnie "Prince" Billy. I found it after trying to increase my library of Tortoise songs. They are "a rhythm section for hire" according to their own description, but they are so much more then that. The 3 or 4 CD's of instrumental music I have purchased just barely scratch the surface. The CD I mentioned above is one that is comprised of covers of other groups (like Springsteen, Elton John, and DEVO). But they are completely different, while being still recognizable. The kind of songs that make you stop whatever it is that your doing, and listen to the gravel voice, and winding music. I have had the CD on my mp3 player for a while now, and I don't think I'll be removing any tracks any time soon.

The one problem is that there are a couple tracks (and this isn't a problem that I have had only with this CD) that when I'm listening to them with the mp3 player's earbuds, the song starts out going from one side to the other. With earbuds this issue is a big thing for me, when the music oscillates sides like that, completely switching every second or so, I need to stop walking (unless I'm not walking in the first place, duh). It sounds silly, but I wouldn't be able to continue in a straight line, I get a little wobbly like if I just did some bat spins or something (just without the neasuea). I guess balance is a tricky thing.
