In the "Didn't see that one coming" department ...
Amazon has entered the mp3 download market with DRM-free downloads. So I picked up the new King's X (14 songs) for under $8 without those lousy, stinkin' DRMs. At first listen, this sounds like King's X best since ... "Gretchen Goes to Nebraska." I was never gaga over "Dogman," which is apparently a favorite among many King's X fans. I've never been one who gravitated toward dark-sounding music (melancholy's OK), and "Dogman" was painful to listen to--in retrospect almost certainly because of the pain that the group was going through (notably singer/bassist Doug Pinnick).
It's nice to hear the group back on their game.
And now I'm listening to D. C. Slater trying to decide how to prioritize my next music purchase ...
