The Offspring's "Splinter" is good stuff. It's fast, angry at times, funny at others. It stays true to the formula that has worked for them. The only down side is that it's short, barely over 30 minutes.

Dido's "Life For Rent" is exactly what I needed to counter balance Offspring. It's very chill and nearly every track good. She has some nice changes in a few songs that really tie them together. The lyrics are interesting in that at least two songs she seems to be helping out a friend that suffered a break up.

Snatched up some older songs from iTunes with Pepsi bottle caps a friend gave me (I don't drink the shit), including Dishwalla's "Counting Blue Cars," "Drive" by Incubus and "Possum Kingdom" by the Toadies. Good stuff.
