I remember reading that William Shatner came out with a second album called Has Been. After hearing David Hasselhoff’s material, I vowed not to listen to any TV actor’s singing. However, I’ll give Shatner a chance. He didn’t talk to a car.

Never heard of Ted Leo, I’ll look him up. :)

Check out Ted Leo’s “Shake the Sheets”. And who didn’t love William Shatner’s “Has Been”????

If you mean Jacksonville, FL, then I’m surprised I haven’t heard of them. I’m from Jacksonville, and try to keep up with talents from there when I can. I’ll definitely have to check them out, and Galactic. I’m up for some good funky jazz.

Definitely get The Black Keys’s new album, excellent music. :)

Oh, I’m definitely with you on the Black Keys. I have yet to hear their newest, but I’ve listened to “The Big Come Up” about a zillion times now. I discovered them when they played a gig on Conan about two years ago and haven’t looked back since. I love some good blues!

Don’t know if you’ve heard of them or not, but for the best funk/jazz you’ve ever heard, check out Galactic (by far, the best live show I’ve ever been to, btw).

Also worthwhile is Mofro, a couple of Jacksonville boys doing some really great southern-fried jookhouse music.

If you go to Fog City Records’ listening page, you can listen to Mofro’s entire first album via streaming audio. Stanton Moore’s stuff is well worth a listen, too.
