What's In Sean's Mailbox: Lost Weekend
After two straight days of baseball (opening of spring training), libations, golf (I shot a deceptive 130), and a related arsenal of punishable sins, I woke up this morning feeling guilty, achy, broke, vomitious, coughy...but, all in all, pretty damn great. (Playing with Kid Lulu for three hours straight did a little something for the guilt.) I'm currently stuck at work on a perfect FLA Sunday, but that's a small penance for a perfectly lost weekend. A good friend calls it "cleaning the slate." I always liked that. Sometimes you just need to do a few bad things in order to do a lot of good things. Pretty sure the Forever Fiancee is not buying into that game plan, but a fancy dinner and some flowers should do the trick.
So: The sun is shining, the Rays-Jays are playing down the street, and I'm stuck in the fluorescent glow of the 9-to-5. I have to write up my Pete Townshend profile, which should be fun. But first I have to dawdle, so here are the mailbox goodies I just opened...
Arcade Fire -- Neon Bible
Kenny Loggins -- How About Now
Karyn White -- Superwoman: The Best of Karyn White
Natalie Cole -- Love Songs
Last Train Home -- Last Good Kiss
Air -- Pocket Symphony
The Feeling -- Twelve Stops and Home
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
Do you know if there will be any midnight sales for Arcade Fire - Neon Bible anywhere within a tri-county area?

Haven't hear anything. Your best bet is your local indie hut. I've had the disc for a week now, and it's just not growing on me. There are two or three curiously uplifting tracks, but to be honest, I'm getting ready with the "Overrated" chant.
