both MH and myself picked Bob Weir as our albums of our respective weeks...
neither of us are big Grateful Dead fans but we gave the album a listen anyway and were pleasantly surprised by what we heard...
obviously most albums/artists we have a fair idea what its going to be,
but on the odd occasion we find the golden nuggets in the sewerage that we didn't expect.

that's me done for the week: eleven listens of new release albums,
shame David Crosby couldn't get best album, he was pipped at the post...
it was a very good week for me, only one that was disposable which is a shame because I liked
the early tracks on it.
even though Conor Oberst and Jim James were ok, they were a bit of a let down overall.
BEST: COURTEENERS
GOOD: DAVID CROSBY ROBBIE WILLIAMS JIMMY EAT WORLD BIRDS OF TOKYO
MORE LISTENS REQUIRED: CONOR OBERST BIG SMOKE PRETENDERS JIM JAMES TALL BLACK GUY
DISPOSABLE: AVENGED SEVENFOLD
