Dr. Bristol:

(PS - I'm not proclaiming it the best pop album of 2009, but so far I 
haven't heard a better powerpop record. Thoughts on what is?)

Me:

I haven't yet heard much of Tinted Windows, but I'm totally digging
LITTLE WHITE LIES by Fastball.  This is a really solid effort, with
several really memorable tracks - "All I Was Looking For Was You", the
title track (with its funky intro), "The Malcontent", and the stunning
closing tracks of "White Noise/Soul Radio".  Great, great stuff.  Can't
wait to see them live tomorrow night (Thursday) at the Tin Angel in
Philadelphia.
