impulse buy
In a boredom/new-cd-store double-punch a couple of weeks ago I splashed out on Jet's Get Born and Death Cab for Cutie's Transatlantacism both of which I'd been threatening to buy for a while. The Jet cd actually lives up to the insanely great single Are You Gonna Be My Girl (as featured in the iPod ad we'll never get to see in Australia) with a bunch of great rock tracks and some ballads that are surprisingly good for a rock cd.
Death Cab for Cutie is growing on me. I bought it because (a) the name is cool, and (b) they were the support act for the last Something for Kate tour, which I missed. They're not quite what I was expecting, but after a few spins I'm getting into it.
On the horizon: Mot's gotten me hooked on the Dave Matthews solo cd which I'll end up buying; and I need to grab a copy of Alex Lloyd's Distant Light before the Sunset gig. And Powderfinger. Always with the Powderfinger.

And I mean come on, Death Cab for Cutie were named after a Monty-Python-before-they-were-Monty-Python fictional band singing silly songs in the background of a Beatles movie. I know that's like fifty (hilarious) steps removed from Python, but you really wanna love them just on principle...
