I know marcus played some Jonathan Coulton on his radio show, but I just started checking out his stuff and the video to his Chiron Beta Prime is pretty funny to boot. Guy cranks out a lot of songs.

I just got Leonard Cohen's Death of a Ladies' Man which he did with Phil Spector. I didn't realize he could be so FUN. It's just so big and poppy and really fantastic. "Don't Go Home with Your Hard-On" is so fun and hilarious.

File Under Uneasy Listening by J$
Comedies by Flypaper Orchestra
Greenwood Cemetary by Glenn Case
plus way too much of Cold War Kids and the theme from Snakes on a Plane.

Hey sweet! I didn't know anybody had really listened to this.

The new Jurassic 5 CD Feedback. I'm finding it most enjoyable, even if not particularly innovative.

Sometimes, innovation can be over-rated. Good songcraft is always welcome over failed attempts at innovation.

Did I just get philosophical in the currently digging thread?

I'll have to check that out, thanks Jon Eric. Didn't realize they had a new one.

I'm also currently digging XTC's Wasp Star (Apple Venus, Pt. 2). When I first heard Apple Venus Pt. 1 about a year and change ago, I gushed about it (here, I believe), but then heard random comments from people from Starfinger to Rodney Anonymous that the follow-up just plain wasn't as good.

I'm going to have to beg to differ with these folks. It's certainly not as ornate, and maybe I'm just a sucker for this style of music, but there it is. I love Andy's wordplay on songs like "Boarded Up" (which he rhymes with "Two-by-fourded up") or "Playground" (which he rhymes first with "Every dayground," and later "Careful what you sayground"). And the power-balladry on "My Brown Guitar" that just effortlessly becomes head-bobbing rock for the chorus...

I'd recommend it, even knowing quite well that there are others around here who wouldn't.

The Cinematic Underground- "Annasthesia"

Yet another part of my Concept album studies (I still have to get a hold of the accompanying graphic novel).

Best of Steely Dan.

Oh wait, it's the complete set.

The new Comets on Fire is SO awesome. I'm only like 2 tracks into it and it's just rich and gorgeous and full of organ/60s-effects.

Perhaps you are referring to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000 ... 8">Citizen Steely Dan</a> which is most of the Dan's early output.

I have yet to hear a song by Steely Dan that I dislike. I prefer certain songs to others, sure, but most other bands have at least one song that I can't stand.

ROCK!

Haha, that's right, actually. I have Citizen Steely Dan + 2vN copied to my laptop.

Yeah, it's kind of a running gag around here that I was listening to Citizen Steely Dan on random all day and thought it was a Best Of compilation. (I did!)

I just listened to Under The Influence Of Giants - every track is bliss. Falsetto, discoesque bliss..

The Apparat Organ Quartet. There are five of them. They sound a bit like every electronic band (Kraftwerk, Silver Apples etc) only in a very brilliant way. And most importantly, their album cover features them as lego people.
