I spent today listening to "Bubblegum" by Mark Lanegan at work. I was reminded once again of what a great album it is, and how I completely don't understand popular musical tastes.
To the best of my knowledge, I am the only person I know who owns this album. And it is brilliant. I'm willing to concede it's not the most accessible thing, but it's not particularly weird. You've got fast paced, Queens of the Stone Age-type stuff like "Death Valley Blues" or "Hit The City", brooding Nick Cave-esque ballads like "One Hundred Days", or RL Burnside blues like "Little Willie John".
Over the past few weeks I've managed to talk Ribar and Mirjana into the new National album Boxer, but I don't think I've ever been able to talk anyone into this. And that's a shame.
