After a Long (Shameful?) Absence...

I'm going to take charge and get this mofo back in gear!
Or maybe I'll just try to be better at signing in more often.

Anyhoo, let's recap a few recent Washington Post previews:
Music Builds Tour featuring Switchfoot, Jars of Clay and Third Day
Johnny Flynn, Post College Girl's British discovery, whom we'll be seeing later this week at the Birchmere
Planet Arlington World Music Festival with Solas, Ricardo Lemvo and others

The Motels, featuring Martha Davis

Melody Gardot
The Wiggles And yes, I interviewed the Blue Wiggle!

Some of these shows involved CDs, so I'll add them to the O/CD Tally:
1.JARS OF CLAY - Closer EP (Gray Matters)
2.SOLAS - For Love and Laughter (Compass Records)
3.MELODY GARDOT - Worrisome Heart (Verve)
4.THIRD DAY - Revelation (Sony)

And, while I'm at it, I'll toss a bunch of other albums in that haven't made a strong impression, but might as well be mentioned so I can move on. I declare New Release Amnesty!
5.The FUTUREHEADS – This Is Not the World (Nul Records)
6.LUKE DOUCET and the WHITE FALCON – Blood’s Too Rich (Six Shooter Records)
7.The SLACKERS – Self Medication (Indication Records)
8.CAROLINE HERRING – Lantana (Signature Sounds)
9.TIM LEE 3 – Good2b3 (The Paisley Pop Label)
10. SUBTLE – ExitingARM (Lex Records)
11.PORCUPINE TREE – Lightbulb Sun (Kscope)
12.RACHEL SAGE – Chandelier (Mpress Records)
13.FRIGHTENED RABBIT – The Midnight Organ Fight (FatCat)
14.The INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS – S/T (Sugar Hill Records)
15.BEAT UNION – Disconnected (Science)
16.MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK – Even If It Calls Me (Epitaph)
17.The M’S – Real Close Ones (Polyvinyl Record Co.)
18.The SUBMARINES – Honeysuckle (Nettwerk)

which brings us to
YTD O/CD Tally: 143

As Post-Collge Girl said to me, "You'd better get to it, if you're gonna reach 1,000"
