From time to time, I like to share what's in my car CD changer.  Sometimes I swap them out quickly.  Sometimes they stay around for some time.

1. Kings of Leon - Only by the Night: Ever since I heard "The Bucket" from this band a few years ago I've been hooked.  This album doesn't disappoint.  Inventive but still catchy.

2. John Coltrane - Lush Life: I've been in the mood for classic jazz lately and this one I hadn't listened to lately.  A remastered version was available on emusic.com too.  It's like a day at the beach with bright sunshine and a cool breeze.

3. Gomez - A New Tide: I had to laugh at this one because this is the band that will play in Omaha's free concert at Memorial Park June 6.  When I looked at our comments page to the story, many people responded to the announcement with, "Who?" 

4. U2 - No Line on the Horizon: I've loved these guys since "New Year's Day" came out eons ago.  After a few listens, this one grew on me.  It wasn't automatic though and it's still in the changer so that a good thing.

5. Gary Jules - Mad World: I put this there after last week's American Idol show.  One of the contestants sang the Tears for Fears remake and I had to dig out this version for my wife.

6. The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound: This band caught me off guard.  I found myself replaying a lot of the songs while it was on random play because I felt like I had heard the song before.
