Cat Power's new 'Covers' album is really good I think.

The new Chili Peppers is fine. Maybe good. I've listened plenty by now. It could still grow more on me, maybe. But last time JF came back, Californication slapped me across the face. Easily, Otherside, and Parallel Universe just busted my brain. There's nothing like that on Unlimited Love that grabs you by the nuts.

I had high hopes, because John is older and calmer and maybe more willing to be mainstream or whatever (remember when he performed a mutiny on SNL? I think that kind of mindset is probably gone), and Flea has now been to music school and learned theory. There is nothing like those two playing together. And I'm glad we get more of it, but the album isn't as special as I was hoping. They're also damn near 60. Anyway, I kind of feel I have no right to be disappointed, but I was hoping for more. The reviews are good. Maybe I'm missing something.

It is fun to see the media rounds. And playing old jams on Howard Stern (even though he's the lamest, and I'm the only person that knows it). I'll never forgive The Good Place for hating them.

This band is apparently the hot new thing in indie rock, a genre I (used to be) well versed in. Is this a joke? Is this supposed to be good, or so bad it's good? What level are people enjoying this? Anyway, now you have to hear it too, sorry.
