Kevin.  Thanks for the updated list.  I was in *$ yesterday enjoying decent coffee when I heard the words to a song I recognized - it was Cannonball by Damien Rice.  A great song - I'm awaiting O from a place in the UK.  Also heard in *$ yesterday was a track from Dar Williams' latest.  She's going to be in town this week - looking forward to that.  Her latest CD is ok.  Maybe hearing the songs live will change my mind.

Anyway, you mentioned Paste.  I got a copy of the latest issue.  It's nice to read through a magazine that actually reviews music as an art form.  Have you ever read through the music mag Uncut?  It's a lot like Mojo - but also offers reviews on a few movies and DVDs.  The reviews are really good, though.  It comes with a CD as well.

Anyone listen to the new disc from Will Oldham (he's calling himself Bonnie Prince Billy)?  I'm listening to it right now - very mellow - and so far good.
