One of my favourite albums of the moment is, as always, one that Sean has introduced me to. The Sleepy Jackson debut album Lovers has barely left my CD player in months.
It's not especially original - heavily influenced (if not derivative to the point of deja vu,) of people like George Harrison, but it's catchy as hell - even on the first listening you are convinced that you have heard the whole thing before.
Morning Bird and Good Dancers are for me the stand out tracks, I won't even bother to describe them any further - but just advise you to go out and buy a copy.
You can of course, beg, steal, or copy it too - oh except that you can't - it comes with some clever copyright mechanism which means that it my minidisc player wont allow me to record it. So I either have to buy my own copy, or buy Sean a new one...
In the interim then the Minidisc player will continue to pump out Aha's grown-up comeback album from 2000, Major Earth, Minor Sky - it great catchy pop with an adult edge (or something like that).
