That’s what the temperature gauge read when I logged in at work: 3°F.  The DJ on 89.3 The Current said that it was 0°.  I think that would warrant a O.o 

I swear my fingers are going to fall off.

Okay, I’ve a few new favorite bands that I have to add to my wish list and a new release from an old standard that’s finally grown on me.  The first of these being Kasabian, this really sweet band out of UK that has this huge sound.  It’s hard to describe, so take a listen to some of their audio. It’s like this epic-sounding, crazy 60’s-influenced euro-rock.  I love it. 

I’ve also come to like the band Cold War Kids, a band from Los Angeles.  They’ve got a single that The Current’s been playing called “Hang Me Up To Dry” that’s pretty cool.  Supposedly they’re going to be on Letterman in about two weeks, but I couldn’t find any information about that.

And of course, an artist that is like a cup of strong coffee—you’re either gonna love it or hate it—Tom Waits.  He’s got a new three-disc set out now called Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards.  Personally I can’t imagine listening to three, full discs of Tom Waits material back-to-back, but he’s grown on me a bit as of late.  His raspy voice somehow fits appropriately with his skillful word-smithing and thought-provoking lyricism.  The samples that I’ve heard of his new CD sound pretty cool.  Chalk that up to my wish list as well. 

Well, I’m gonna go back and listen to the audio samples from Kasabian and get back to work.  Those guys are pretty sweet.
