Just the fact that he's even approaching being aggressive in any way again is refreshing. He's been dishing out meaningless jingles for decades.

this kinda thing is total catnip to me, stolen from the punk thread:

Not a big fan of Cold War Kids, but I love this style of cover (note to The Walkmen: typography based covers done right can look really good!)

Slava - Soft Control

Can't remember if I posted that already. Yet another hands-only cover, kind of fascinated by the moisture content of this one though.
