Dig Lazarus Dig is the first NC&TBS's album that I've thought "Meh!" about.
I'll have to have a look out for the KJ album.
Duff-Man says....I thought Grinderman was dreadful stuff - Nick trying to be something that he isn't anymore - and to me Dig Lazarus Dig is along the same lines...it does not have the "feel" of a Bad Seeds album, does not have anywhere near the quality of writing (both musically and lyrically) that Lyre of Orpheus/Abattoir Blues did. It is more like this is a "Grinderseeds" record. Maybe picking up the guitar again was not the best move for Nick.....oh yeah!
Oh dear I have spent close to $100 on music down here in New Orleans this week (art conference + vacation woot). I picked up:
Louis Ford - "Just TRAD-itional" (local old timey jazz)
Charles Mingus - "Mingus Ah Um"
Preservation Hall Jazz Band - "Songs of New Orleans" (2 disc set)
Preservation Hot 4 With Duke Dejan
Duke Ellington/Count Basie - "Duke Ellington Meets Count Basie"

Justice - Cross.
I'll undoubtedly be ponying up for R.E.M.'s new album on Monday (both the Deluxe and iTunes Deluxe versions, the corporate whores).
I'm tempted to nab The Whip - X Marks Destination whilst it's cheap, because I quite liked the iTunes freebie Single of the Week thing of theirs.

Panic at the Disco - Pretty. Odd.
I hated their first album, so imagine my surprise when I gave this one a spin. It's fun. It's really fun. Lush, psychedelic, and channeling Sgt. Pepper's and Abbey Road. I'm still reeling at the reversal.

Love the classic Gary Numan.
Me, I just bought Hayes Carll - Flowers and Liquor
It's alt country at it's best, not the fake top 20 heard on todays Country radio.
Me too!
I'm loving it...very good...different from their last one, but I think I like this one more
Nada Surf - Lucky.
I bought it from the label (Barsuk) and got the bonus disc and also sprang for some more of those buttons with the Barsuk frisbee-totin' dog. And a DCFC Transatlantic button. I love that label's stuff, they have great decals from the album covers too, if you're not a big fan of the dog logo.

All the "pro panic posts" make me smile. 
And any Zep album is a great one. HOTH is flipping terrific.
Goodbye Blues - Hush Sound
**** - Fall Out Boy

These! Cost a fair bit too, the original pressings are getting harder and harder to find. (From left to right, the 2000 pressing of Ny Batteri, and the 2001 pressing of Svefn-g-Englar).
Also I popped down to Amoeba and picked up Panic at the Disco's new one, "Pretty. Odd.," The National's "Boxer" (which is freaking amazing), The Long Winters' "Putting the Days to Bed" (not new, exactly, but great), and The Hush Sound's new one "Goodbye Blues."
Must buy more CDs...
