I love most of the work from Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros. Lots of smart songs that don't sound like anyone else.

Yesterday, I went back to the CD collection and got very happily stuck in the F section.
Bill Frisell - East/West (Disc 1 = West)
one of his best

French Frith Kaiser Thompson - Invisible Means
Mostly engaging but Henry Kaiser is an acquired taste. He seems to bring out the weird in Richard Thompson.

Lowell Fulson - The Complete Chess Masters (Disc 1)
If you haven't played this in a while, Reconsider Baby!

Michael Franti and Spearhead - Stay Human
Good songs marred by too many "radio" interludes

Fountains of Wayne - Utopia Parkway
I like this album, but the vocals often sounded mechincal yesterday, especially on the verses.

Robert Forster - Calling From A Country Phone
Sublime set from a Go-Between.

Foo Fighters - S/T
Rocking fun!

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Fabulosos Calavera
Nino Diamante may be the best example of jazz/rock/ska ever recorded. Of course, there's not too much competition.

Ibrahim Ferrer - S/T
Sounded really good after too long since the last spin.

Feist - Metals
Good, but not her best.

- Paul in DK
