Something to stick under the chrismas tree.

The Clash - Live at Shea Stadium

That certainly was a classic live show and would be a good one to get.

I haven't been paying enough attention to what's coming out soon in the music world. I do know that R.E.M. is releasing a deluxe edition of Murmur

I'm really digging the new Metallica. I had some reservations, but a guy at work burned me a copy. I may even go buy it.

Beyond that, I'm really out of touch. I need to catch back up so I can add some new music to the station.
