Track:
Neil Diamond has a new album out, Home Before Dark, and it's great to hear the legend at it again. I've only had a chance to listen to the album once or twice so far, but the first track, If I Don't See You Again, is my favorite so far.

Artist:

Album:
Gilles Peterson has been ripping it up during his last several Worldwide shows. One of my favorite standouts is a re-edit of Sea of Tranquility by Ahu, which ads a funky, laid back guitar riff over K&G's original horns.

It's a great feel-good song, even if it is on the pop, mainstream side (hence the guilty pleasure).Though I've only listened to it a few times so far, I can tell it's going to be in semi-heavy rotation. Seems like a perfect sum...

Track:
Thank goodness for being anal-retentive (and having my Palm/Treo at the ready...).
