There is much satisfaction in winning a Texas hold-em tourney when pocket 5's plus two more on the all-in give you the victory.

Albums that have wormed their way into my hands recently...

• Aimee Mann "The Forgotten Arm" - Aimee Mann does concept album. A more coherent album overall than "Lost in Space", but not as many stand out songs - which is probably how I feel about Hooverphonic "Presents Jackie Cane"


• The Killers "Hot Fuss" - Nice, tight little rock album with electronic touches.


• Samurai Champloo "Music Record Katana" - A funky hip-hop inspired soundtrack that fits perfectly with the irreverant mash-up style of the series, but is worth listening to on its own.

AAAaand...although it's well on the way to over-exposure (thank you Apple for that), I really like the new Gorillaz song "Feel Good Inc.". I'm looking forward to the new album.
