"I've been trying to get people to call me Sunny D. I've got the good stuff kids go for. People keep calling me Five Alive. "

It is hard to believe I wrote that my flirtation with blogging was in full swing less than a month ago. I assure you that ever since I spent countless hours authoring a three part series detailing my obsession with the band Maritime, the opposite has been true. I spent the last week pondering a bullet points style entry featuring random musings and updates about my impending move to Chicago but in the end I just could not work up the energy to write what figured to be another lengthy and long winded offering. Fortunately, I learned from the disintegration of my first blog that it is quite difficult to retain readers without updating your blog from time to time. So, in the interest of post an entry for the first time in two weeks and doing so in less than twenty minutes, here are the six (that number can also be chalked up to laziness) most enjoyable albums I have acquainted myself with over the last few weeks in preparation for Lollapalooza 2006 (in no particular order):















Mates of State - Bring It Back
















Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped















The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
















Cursive - Happy Hollow
















The Hold Steady - Almost Killed Me
















Ben Kweller - Sha Sha
