New Music (Continued)

Two more discs i just bought that i really like. These are both indie alternative rock, in the vein of the Velvet Underground, Pavement, White Stripes, etc.

The Strokes - Room On Fire - My sister in law Susan turned me on to this one. It's great. Click here if you want to buy it on iTunes.

Bettie Serveert - Log 22 - I loved their disc Palomine that came out in 1993. Haven't listened to this dutch indie rock band much lately, but my wife Joanne put on Palomine recently and i remembered how much i loved the voice of lead singer Carol Van Dyk. So i went out and bought this disc that came out earlier this year. It's terrific. Unfortunately, they don't have any Bettie Serveert albums on iTunes yet.

Oh yes! Bettie Serveert is one of the greatest bands from the 90s, and still kicking it with authority, taste and soul in the 2Ks.

If you do this sort of thing, I'd recommend checking them out live: unbelievable. You just missed (I think) several NYC dates.

Here are some pics I took a few months ago when I saw them at here in the ATL:

You are right about the lack of iTunes coverage. That's one of my big problems with the service right now, but it's getting better. Right now, it feels a little bit like subscribing to the Columbia Tape & Record Club. I mean, who really needs a copy of The Joshua Tree? You can get one for $2.00 in the used bins or likely already have one somewhere.

What's more, Bettie Serveert has some excellent, actually, must-hear songs in their back catalog, yet some filler on many of their albums. I could post you a list, and you could get all clicky with the iTunes to cherry-pick the good stuff.

We'll get there...

Yes, that's right.
