To everyone who responded to my request for "sounds like" information
concerning the first two Lilys albums, thank you very very much. I've
been able to locate most of the songs via file sharing systems, and
they are SO DAMN GOOD, that I've put the discs on my "order now" list. 
Great stuff, in the vein of My Bloody Valentine and Lassie Foundation.
It's like a shot of Vitamin M(usic) in my earholes.

Now, on to some newer music... the new album by the Delgados, entitled
"Hate". I read a review of the disc in CMJ, and it sounded so
intriguing, I downloaded a few songs... and was blown away! It's an
amazing mix of straightforward guitar pop, chamber/orchestral pop,
and some rock thrown in. The album closer, "If This Is A Plan", is
an anthem with a chorus that just won't get out of my head. Again, 
after hearing the samples, I enthusiastically added this disc to my 
list as well.

And don't even get me started on Zwan's disc... It's more rock than
pop, so I won't go into it here, but it's *excellent*. God love that
Billy Corgan... the man can do no wrong. "Honestly" is my Number One
Song For 2003.

NP: Manplanet - dig these guys if you need some SilverSun-ish
    tunes to hold you over until the next disc comes out. Just
    listen to the song "Jetpack", and you'll see what I mean.
