I bought this disc when it came out and listened to it once and then, for some reason, didn't listen to it again for months. Then I put it in again and it is still there, playing over and over. This is a CD that grows on you and the more you listen to it the more amazing it becomes. A little Handsome Furs, a little Wolf Parade, a little something else that hooks. If you like any of these, pick this disc up and give it a try.

I am a big fan of Chuck. I think his non fiction is outstanding (see Stranger Than Fiction) and the majority of his fiction is breakthrough and astounding. Chuck is a pendulum though and while many of his books will be classics in a generation or so, this is not one of them. This book is a poorly executed, shocking idea that, in the end, seems to exist for no other reason than for the press and attention that is inherent when a popular writer takes on a sensitive subject. It could have been more insightful. It could have been more probing. It could have been more.

I am a fan of Hot Hot Heat, Knock Knock Knock remains unrivaled. I had never heard of The Red Light Sting. The Split CD is a great idea and would have worked if not for two things. The first being poor recording quality (not glorious Lo Tech recording like The Black Keys or White Stripes, just bad). The second is Hot Hot Heat's pathetic showing. The Red Light Sting outshine them with their half of the album, yet I have been unable to find a CD of them on their own. Given the chance, could they run circles around the Heat like they did on Split?
