I have the 'There Will Be Blood' and find it interesting so will have to check out the 'Norweigan Wood' soundtrack. Believe Brian and possibly Derek both saw this film at TIFF last year....did the music stand out on this one guys? Wondering when they're going to release that film (translation= when will i see it at on the shelf my indep video store, prompting an 'oh yeah').

Agree with you on your Fleet Foxes assessment. Only listened once thus far (Update: Streaming Here) but it has a decidedly CSN feel to it, something I've noted others talking about as well in various online sites. Regardless, or perhaps, therefore, liking it!

Hadn't heard the Glass solo piano until last night and have to concur with Bri...very beautiful, particularly the piece he mentions, 'Mad Rush', something about that style of playing, with the keys cascading on top of another, whether slowly or frantically, that packs quite an emotional wallop.

As for the Itunes shuffle...she gives and she taketh away. Suggest you either shuffle within certain genres or create a playlist of genres you don't mind listening to together (ie. Electronic, Hip/Hop, and Alternative or Jazz/Electronic/Classical) or just using the Genius to get a 'songs like' consistency. When you start surpass 80GBs/several weeks of music, spanning various genres and styles, it can get a little crazy just simply using the 'Shuffle Songs' feature. But hey, you've introduced your son to a cool song from one of Modest Mouse's more interesting albums.

Anyone here a fan of Xray spex? Kind of a combination of before my time and not my style (same way i feel about Patty Smith, btw) but wondering if she was pivotal for others here.
