Music as of late

I haven't been very good at keeping up with my "Album of the Day" posts. But I have been trying to listen to a new album almost every day anyway. Here's what's been on my iPod lately:

Prince - Musicology: Not bad, actually. I need to listen to old-school Prince before making a decision as to whether this is a good album from him. I enjoyed the title track a lot. I really dislike his use of "2" for "to" or "too" and his use of "4" for "for", i.e. "4oreign".

Beastie Boys - To the 5 Boroughs: Best Beastie Boys album ever. Seriously, I like it more than Paul's Boutique. Standout track is "Open Letter to NYC," a song that uses the Dead Boys' "Sonic Reducer" as its foundation. I listened to this for about a week straight.

Johnny Cash - American V: Brilliant album. I can't get enough of this one, either.

Beck - One Foot in the Grave: I never feel like listening to Beck, but am always glad when I do. Odd, no?

Slint - Tweez: I can't believe I never listened to these guys before. I had heard a few songs here and there, but never an album. This album is awesome, I don't know if it reminds me of Big Black, or if Big Black reminds me of Slint. I wonder which came first; I'll have to look into that. mewithoutYou has elements of Slint in their music as well. I'm listening to "Spiderland" now, but I think "Tweez" may be better.

Sonic Youth - EVOL: I should have bought all this band's output when I was in high school.

Shellac - At Action Park: I have this on vinyl, but sold my record player a while ago so I couldn't listen to it. Now that I can listen to it on my iPod, I'm reminded how great it is. Listening to this and Slint back to back is wonderful.

I can't remember what else I have listened to lately.
