I am going to start working on the Calgary '04 Hip show today and I thought I would see if anyone might have anything such as scans of posters from the current tour etc. I am specifically looking for the Polar Bear tour poster.

  New CDs

There has been quite a few quality CDs released lately...I've had a chance to listen to most of them, some that have yet to be released...

New DMB is great, I'm not nearly as rabid a fan as some seem to be, but the new CD is great, very easy to get into.

System of a Down, Mesmerize. These guys are totally original, angry and they mix everything together into a pretty cool package. Their performance on SNL was great as well.

Springsteen's Devils and Dust has been mentioned here before, a nice return to roots for him.

Becks Guero is also a return to his Odelay days, it's great.

Robert Plant has made me a fan again, the Mighty Rearranger is as good as anything he's done post Zeppelin.

NIN With Teeth has also grown on me, very decent.

The new Weezer is, well, Weezer, which has to be catchy pop with great riffs.

And not that new, but new CDs by Matt Mays, Kathleen Edwards are making it a great year for music so far..not to be forgotten, Lullabies to Paralyze just keeps kicking my ass every time I listen to it after their great show here in April.

anyone listen to his cd yet? honestly, i'm feelin it, there's some killer beats on this record, the people rapping with him are all top notch, and it's a surprisingly solid debut from the champ, if you listen to it with an open mind you might not mind what you find...
