Best "new" album: Wondermints, "Mind if I Make Love to You." (I just 
purchased it from iTunes but I think it has been out for a year or so.)

I bet I'm not the only one looking for a change in topics, and so, at the
risk of sounding shallow, I wonder if we could lighten up a bit and switch
the focus . . .

A constant source of amazement, not to mention occasional ridicule, is my
allegedly awful taste in music.  I endured the scorn of my Vision friends
when I admitted that I'm not a Sly and the Family Stone afficionado, and my
husband is mortified that I have joined the teeming mass of middle-aged
Christian housewives who really like punk music.  Accordingly, then, an
endorsement from me probably is enough to ensure that no one else dares try
anything I listen to, but, for all it's worth, I've discovered some
absolutely wonderful music this summer.  What gems are you all listening to?
   Do tell, and promise you won't think less of me for the list below:

1.  The Raconteurs "Toy Broken Boy Soldier"  --  Hands down the best debut
album I've ever heard.  It's rarely left my car's CD player.  Excellent
post-punk pop with hooks reminiscent of late-70s/early-80s indie bands.

2.   Crashdog "Cashists, Fascists, and Other Fungus" -- After more than a
decade, this treasure from the late, great Jesus People USA house punk band
still kicks.  Raw, angry, yet lyrical punk that manages to be both prophetic
and worshipful.

3.   Daniel Amos "John Wayne" -- Every song's a winner!  Lyrically stirring,
bitingly funny, and with DA's signature musicianship, which veers from arena
rock to rockabilly to post-punk to New Wave.  If they lived here, they'd be
my new best friends.

4.  Jennifer Knapp  "Kansas" -- Overcoming my distrust of sensitive
singer-songwriters, especially evangelical ones, I discovered one of the
most beautiful, poignant, convicting songs I've ever heard in "Martyrs and
Thieves."  JK is angry, hurt, tattooed, dark and altogether lovely.  She
toured with Lillith Fest and thus alienated her Christian base.  This can
only be a good thing.

5.  Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler "Road Running" -- Emmylou Harris could
sing the back of a cereal box and rip my heart open; with Mark Knopfler's
brooding vocals, this bluegrass/blues/folk collection will enliven every
radioplay-deadened cell in your body.

OK, what great tunes am I missing?  I'd love to know what you all are
listening to.  (Note to Bruce Livingston:  Yes, if Sly Stone ever sings the
Emmylou Harris songbook, I promise to listen . . . )
