Viva the Evolution

June 12th, 2006

I went for an interview the other day and I found a load of money in my suit pocket (that I hadn’t worn in months), so I splashed out on a couple of albums… two bands that, in my opinion, have the potential to make the greatest track of all time.

Show Your BonesHaving spent the past three months with ‘Gold Lion’ on loop in beep-media-player, I needed no persuasion in choosing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ latest album: ‘Show Your Bones’. I’m very happy with it - I prefer it to their first album. ‘Way Out’ is a great summer song.

I also got Jack L’s new album, “Broken Songs”, mainly because I felt pity for him when I saw that he would be performing in the prestigious “Briery Gap” theatre in Macroom (bet ya U2 are shittin’ themselves). There’s nothing on it to rival ‘When the Moon is High’ or ‘Georgie Boy’, but some decent tracks make it well worth €10.
