  Tweo beautiful new Cds this week. Now that I've finisahed my secret book proposal, I'll actually have some time to listen to them! They are: urlLink LP by Ambulance Ltd. Declared by the (overly hyperbolic) NME as the best new American band of 2004 (boy, that's a fine slice). Kind of retro-80s-alternative-sutff, but really diverse and interesting. When listening, its hard to believe you aren't listening to a compilation of several different artists. Yet, it's pretty all together and doesn't sound overly diverse and unfocused. urlLink Soul Mosaic by Greyboy. DJ turned jazz buff. A nice collection of sampled riffs and original arrangements. Sours between hard funk, bee bop, and soul. So tough to categorize that I actually found it in the "jazz" section at Borders.
