been shuffling, so this is what last.fm says i've listened to:

Because I keep finding Motley Crue's upcoming disc 'Saints of Los Angeles' to actually be... GOOD. Like, surprisingly good. Recognizably 'Shout at the Devil' era slammed through a pedal rack of modern sensibilities.
I seriously don't know what the hell to think about this...
That new single from The Duke Spirit runs through my head about twice a day, and so does that Country Boner remix from Pusifer (I'm ashamed to admit). But I've been listening to old stuff lately: Pixies - Here Comes Your Man, Iggy Pop - The Passenger, Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane.
Heard Lykke LI on BBC2's Glastonbury show late last night and instantly fell in love - any woman with a megaphone will do that to me! Listening a lot to Times New Viking, if for no other reason than to let the guitar distortion drive the bad thoughts from my head. Also a cheesy 'Goa Girl Vol. 3' trance collection my son gave me for Father's Day - sweet!
I bought Scarlett Johansson's album. Well... I think, I bought it because the cover was so awesome. And mysteriously I just loved her Tom Waits covers. Plus David Bowie is singing backing vocals on two songs. Someone compared Scarlett with Nico but in my opinion Scarlett sings better... :)
Surgery's Shimmer also seems to be coming up more often in the shuffle, along with The Fucking Champs VI, and a sprinkling of Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio singing.
