Went to Lakewood's best location for transaction a la musica, Bent Crayon, and picked up some good stuff today.
Handsome Boy Modeling School - "White People" --> I like it a lot so far, lots of good names smeared in with fresh beats...Omar and Cedric from The Mars Volta, Pharrell, De La, Jack Johnson, Mike & Chester from Linkin Park, Mike Patton and a bunch more. Thanks to G Money Nie for the recommendation.

Death Cab for Cutie - "Something About Airplanes" --> I've been wanting this album for a while; it's their first. Love 'President of What?', and 'Pictures in an Exhibition' (listening to this track as I type this).

Ikara Colt - "Basic Instructions EP" - They're on Epitaph; I've listened to it once, and like it so far.

Unkle - "Never, Never Land" - This is the newest release from Unkle, who for those who don't know, consists of the legendary DJ Shadow and James Lavelle. It's a 2-CD set...I have yet to listen to this one, but I'm a huge fan of Unkle and the seperate Unkle entities.

I'm going to start reviewing one album, bi-weekly, and hopefully my Offbeat counterpart can review an album on the opposite weeks. First review is January 7th, and will be a Snapcase album -- both of my January reviews will be of Snapcase albums -- in honor of January being the official "Last Time For Snapcase To Rock Your World" month.
And because January is a special month, both Offbeat and I will be posting our renditions of dramatic sequence from the Snapcase show on the 22nd. Buckle your underpants.

Pixelsurgeon has an interview with Handsome boy Modeling School here: http://www.pixelsurgeon.com/interviews/interview.php?id=176
Pixelsurgeon has neato interviews and sweet blogged links. Most of it pertaining to graphic design, but they touch on music and other arts also. It's a regular checker for me
