I'm listenting to my new Garden State CD and I'm lovin' "One of These Things First."

I was first exposed to him with "Pink Moon" from the VW commercial a few years ago (VW also introduced me to Hooverphonic). Can you guys reccommend some of Nick's albums to buy?

Get Bryter Later, his best complete album, he also has a Greatest Hits-type album (I think it is called Way to Blue).

Good question -- I've wanted to hear a full CD from him for awhile now but he's one of the artists that Napster 2.0 doesn't carry, and I'm too much of a goody two-shoes to use P2P.

I hate to buy Best Of CDs since they leave out the in-between tracks that made the complete statement of the original albums, so I'm tempted to just cross my fingers and buy Pink Moon or Bryter Layter at Amazon ($12 each).

I like Pink Moon and Bryter Later, but it's not as if you have a lot to choose from...

There's only a few, just go ahead and get all of them. Pink Moon is my fave, but it's all good stuff.

All 3 are good. Pink Moon would probably be good for starters, but I'd definitely pick up all of them.

I just can't really get into The Shins...their sound is somewhat annoying to me...

But Lebanese Blonde by Thievery Corporation. GOOD GAWD IS THAT AWESOME OR WHAT??!! :D

Zero 7 is a great band you gotta pick up their ealier album Simple Things. I think its better When it Falls . That whole damn Garden State album rocks though.

I bought their CD TheOuternationalSound and was very disappointed...didn't like any of the tracks near as much as I liked Lebanese Blonde
