I have a long standing love/hate with Ryan Adams. I totally side with Catlin Carey on the Whiskeytown breakup. I HATED Rock and Roll, but Heartbreaker broke my heart in the best way and remains one of my favorite records of all time. So far I am pretty please with Easy Tiger although the track "Halloweenhead" gives me acid reflux. All in all I think this is his best work in YEARS and the fact that his digital watch read 4:20 on the cover is pretty HILARIOUS.

Nick Lowe has let me down. The title says it all I guess… sad.

Pharoahe Monch, hip hops next medium deal?!? You tell me.
