I need to keep up more.

By Tony Brown

I went out and picked up two CDs last night by bands I only knew of by word of mouth.

Modest Mouse, “The Moon and Antarctica”: Damn fine music. Eclectic and intelligent. And yet, another damn car commercial on here! Are car commercials the new medium for musical dissemination? I have never been the same since my beloved Nick Drake showed up on that Volkswagen commercial; you think I’d be used to it by now.

At any rate, think I’ll be going back for the new album in the next day or two.

Sun Kil Moon, “Ghosts of the Great Highway”: I like the Modest Mouse stuff, but I LOVE this album from the guy who was the driving force behind the Red House Painters. Cool, edgy, beautiful — like driving in moonlight, except without the Volkswagen blasting “Pink Moon” in the next lane. Damn.
