MELISSA ETHERIDGE- FEARLESS LOVE
Happy to see Miss Etheridge is healthy and continuing to release records. Sincerely. But her cliche-ridden tunes ran out of gas about 15 years ago, me thinks. Full album download for $3.99. Good deal if you care.

PETER FRAMPTON- THANK YOU, MR. CHURCHILL
Umpteenth release from Pete, this one features guest spots from his son Julian, The Funk Brothers (?), and members of Soundgarden (?). (And Paul Sorvino, Tom Smothers, Buddy Greco, Punky Meadows and Doc Severinsen.) Actually, Peter Frampton's recent releases have been solid affairs.

GOGOL BORDELLO- TRANS-CONTINENTAL HUSTLE
This band's fusion of all music known to man, usually gives me the creeps. But I will admit, I am more than a bit curious about this new release, thanks to the production of Rick Rubin.

HOLE- NOBODY'S DAUGHTER
Though billed as Hole, I'm pretty sure the only remaining member is its leader, Courtney Love. "Live Through This" seems to be the one for many people, but I found "Celebrity Skin" to be the better record. ("Malibu," "Boys On The Radio" and "Heaven Tonight" are still in my regular rotation after all these years.) This new one, "Nobody's Daughter" doesn't stray far from anything Love has done in the past, and I'm still on the fence about whether that's good or bad.

JESSE MALIN & THE ST. MARKS' SOCIAL- LOVE IT TO LIFE
Seemingly everybody's favorite songwriter but mine, Jesse Malin's new release features 10 new songs. The guy's got heart, I'll say that. And I know I've tried. I'll say that, too.

ANDERS OSBORNE- AMERICAN PATCHWORK
New Orleans (by way of Sweden) guitarist, Osborne's new release features Stanton Moore, Robert Walter, and Corrosion Of Conformity's Pepper Keenan on what could be Osborne's best record of his long and rocky career. Swampy, hard, and melodic funk and blues.

I hate to say it, but that cover photo of Big Audio Dynamite looks an awful lot like the Village People.
Agree w/you on Celebrity Skin. I still listen to it too. Really "crunchy" album.
While I'm here, I'm curious if you've been watching Treme, and if so, what you think of it.
Bruce Handy
Bruce,
I'm enjoying Treme and I expect it will get better. I also find it a bit distracting. Every song, every location makes me drift off....in a good way.
Gilbert,
I don't think Jesse's music sucks at all. I'm just astonished that so many high profile singers--Bruce, Lucinda, I think Elton maybe--all treat him like the new Bob Dylan. I don't get it.
I've always been bored by his whiney vocals, i think the "old guard" like Bruce, Lucinda, Elton and others want to show how they still have their finger on the pulse of the future. Remember in a NY Times article when Bonnie Raitt called Ryan Adams the "it guy" how'd that work out?
If Jesse's the future, music's in a worse state than it's already in.
Gilbert Avondet
Ryan WAS the "it" guy for a long time. What about Bright Eyes (Conor Oberst), Arcade Fiure, Iron & Wine, The Magic Numbers...blah blah blah. Everyone's it once in awhile. It's the hype and empty trendsetting that gets me riled up. Everybody's on the bus but no one's really sure why.
There's alot of riders on that short bus. (i hope you know that term)
Gilbert Avondet
Glad to see a new Anders Osborne record coming out. Add that one to my list...
Anything Stanton Moore is on i'm there, thanks for the heads up Sal.
I can't wait to go to New Orleans next week for 10 days, have you ever been there?
Paul Walther
