I just got the new CD by Lynchpin, called Hand Picked-Words.  Man, it's even
better than their last one!  Wonderful harmonies a la Crowded House, and
very solid songwriting ranging from mature ballads to energized modern rock.

Also, the debut CD by Rooney was released on Tuesday.  I raved about these
guys a few months ago when I first heard an advance of the album, and I'd
just like to reiterate my enthusiasm for these guys.  I'm still amazed at
how savvy these youngsters are, and how well versed they are in the nuances
of great pop music.  Excellent modern pop which brings traditional
sensibilities headlong into today.
