southside johnny, "men without women"--live remake of little steven's late 70s lost classic. pretty great--johnny's a much better singer than ls and the horns, in particular, are spot-on. the songs are classic. really.
boris and michio kurihara, "rainbow"--intoxicating stuff; a japanese metal/post punk band (sorta sonic youthy) teamed up with a wacked-out guitar shredder who plays these searing, atonal solos over the surrprisingly melodic tunes. i can't stop listening to it...
