This is as solid and funky as new music gets. Geraint Watkins is the epitome of that oft-referenced "amalgam" of myriad influences; he leads an all-knowing group of pros through an impressive set of tasty songs on his latest disc, "Dial 'W' For Watkins."Gen and I saw him opening for Nick the Knife last summer, and his performance was revelatory. Stationed at a behemoth modern KORG synth, Geraint

I've been on a Queen kick lately. I'm pretty bemused by the constant sightings of Mssrs. May and Taylor in my Yahoo/AP feed, and a thread at a great hoops site I frequent got me listening to a few discs of theirs that I haven't pulled out since last summer. Queen itself doesn't need any more exposure, John Deacon won't even pick up a bass guitar these days because his bank account is so stacked,

Here's another one for Drew, who was wondering about buying the latest (and probably last) Steely Dan album. The cut is called "Godwhacker," which is about hiring a hit man to kill God. Don't listen to it on a Sunday morning. Slate.com called the song "a pitch for Götterdämmerung, the cool ravings of a modern Job turned nihilist, Nietzsche crossed with Shaft." I like the bass.

I'm gunna give this bad boy another go. I'll try to maintain this as a solid stop, a place to run to for all that is fab and marvy, as I don't mind updating every few days so the same three or four (four, please?
