If we could buy the world a Coke...

Late again. We were at the Keane show last night at the Knitting Factory. What a fantastic show. It was packed tighter than 50 Cent's entourage. If you missed it, be sure to check them out when they roll through your town. Unless you live in a place in your mind. It's a safe and fun place to live. If that's the case then the bands you like play there all the time. So what if Frankie Goes to Hollywood wouldn't reunite for VH1? They've reunited for you and they're rocking you out every night. Relax.

Like a paper cut that won't stop stinging, it time for the Top 5...

1. Matt Pond PA - Emblems (Opened for Keane last night. Smashing record and brilliant live set.)
2. Jawbox - Grippe (Resolve. For the love of god, resolve.)
3. Rachael Yamagata - Happenstance (If Fiona's record never sees the light of day, this will help ease the pain.)
4. Sneaker Pimps - Bloodsport (It's an older release and it came out after the female singer left and their label kinda fizzled. Snatch it up if you can.)
5. The Long Winters - The Worst You Can Do Is Harm (This band has one of the greatest senses of humor of any band around.)

Ok, short and sweet. Like sugar cookies and those mini tootsie rolls that you get when you use the drive-thru window at the bank. Everybody be cool, this is a stick-up. media5
