I've been listening to a bit of Mike Doughty's new CD, Haughty Melodic, and what I have heard so far I have really liked. "Busting Up a Starbucks" is by far the most "stuck in my head" for me, but "Unsingable Name" may well become my favorite.
I'm also growing more and more fond of Carbon Leaf. (caution is clicking that link at work...music plays when it loads)
I really need to see both of the above the next time that they are in Madison. They were recently, but poverty made me miss the shows. Ah well, there will be other shows.
Carbon Leaf ROCKS! I got a cd what was it 2 or 3 years ago from a friend out in Virginia. Have I made it to see them when in town... no :( but someday I will.
