OK - so I started this post on Saturday. Then I got distracted.

Anyway, this week, the recently played list is dominated by the two albums I got today.

The new Sleater-Kinney was an interesting first listen at the gym. It's much more free-form than anything they've done. This path was predicted by 2002's One Beat, so I guess it's not really a surprise.

The new Spoon album - I'll be honest, I've only given a couple of tracks the most cursory of listens. But it's supposed to be fantastic.

Anyway, links to the tracks from each record below.

The truly random pull from my total library is a bit more interesting. Everyone knows (and loves) Stacy's Mom. I'd guess that the U2 track is also very well known. Otherwise, this is a collection of some pretty fantastic songs, including a couple of tracks by really big artists (REM, Billy Corgin).

I'll serve up the Zwan song because I actually thought that album was pretty good even though it really fell off the radar after it came out. Enjoy.
