Isn't it the height of ego for me to break in the middle of writing UTK to tell you what I'm listening to? Two new iTunes albums are just too perfect for words ... or at least the words I have. Luckily, a quick Google turned up brilliant reviews of each.

Wilco is one of the best bands around, hands down. From their roots in Uncle Tupelo through the changes that led to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, this group has grown into something amazing. Alt.country is a label long since left behind, but Wilco really has left ever label behind (including Warner Bros, but that's another story.) Check out

A Ghost Is Born

From a Great American Album to a great debut for a new band. I've talked about my friend Goldy's "anything can be described in three words" philosophy before, so I have to give him credit for hooking me up on Keane. "Radiohead sings Coldplay" is about a apt a description as I could imagine. Check out the review and then check out the music.

For me, I'll just listen to this, write, and smile. These two will be in heavy rotation with "Al Dente and Ill Chemist" for the next brainturn.
