New CDs = Love or maybe just like?

I think I may be in love with the new Iron & Wine EP, Woman King. You can't really go wrong with Iron & Wine, and he's branching out a bit in terms of sonic palette. Cool percussion effects and great guitar playing (even some electric) shotgun-wed to his literary, southern gothic religion plays, this time all involving women. Beautiful music and artwork, as usual.

I have recently had a spate, or queue, or club, or group, or (...) of tiny indie rock boys who have given me mix CDs. As a result, I have bought the following over the past two weeks, and one of them (CD, not boy) made me late for work this morning. These CDs can be cross-sectioned under I Cannot Believe That I Made It This Far In My Daily Existence Without You, Band:
Xiu Xiu--Fabulous Muscles
Broken Social Scene--You Forgot It In People ("I'm Still Your Fag"=the most heartbreaking song ever resplendent with funny lines that are made all the more heartbreaking because of the context)
and I already mentioned Deerhoof--Apple O, but that was bought because of a tiny indie rock boy, so it gets mentioned again.

shameless,
nbg.

It's not new at all but it's new to me. On a whim, I picked up the only cd available by The Vaselines (The Way of the Vaselines).

Anybody listen to them? I'm totally hooked. Just great lo-fi pop. A little on the twee side, I suppose. I remember Kurt Cobain always used to pimp them. Not sure why I didn't listen until now...

It's only February, and Creepy, you have just taken the Henny Youngman award for 2005. Bravo and congratulations!

Much back catalog purchasing round these parts. Currently grooving to:

Jeff Beck Group - Truth and Beck-ola
The Faces - Five Guys Walk Into a Bar... (friggin' brilliant. everyone who likes bluesy, drinky rock music should listen up!)
AC/DC - Powerage (currently my most-listened to AC/DC album)
The Mr. T Experience - Revenge Is Sweet, And So Are You (Valentine's Day hangover album)

Really need to get my hands on some And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. I don't have a note of it in my collection. How wrong is that?
