What music have you been listening to lately?

[mvd]

I'll let you define the time frame for "lately" this time.

Most recently, I listened to:

Sarah Hudson - Naked Truth (Sarah is Kate Hudson's cousin. I was impressed and would give the CD a B+. "Girl On The Verge" is really one of the best power pop songs I've heard. Her style is interesting (she uses neo-Madonna-esque guitars in a more rock setting, and songs like "Ghandi" are appealing in a quirky way.) She needs a little more direction as she goes Christina Aguilera-like on a couple ballads (at least the lyrics are decent and the ballads sound more 80s than teen-pop,) and stylistically it's a bit jarring from song to song. Also, she needs to work on her somewhat thin vocals. But she has quite a bit of potential as a singer and songwriter.)

Kasey Chambers - The Captain (it is outstanding and I'll have to buy her latest CD.)

Finn Brothers - Everyone Is Here (highly recommended!)

These songs:

Hilary Duff - "Fly" (haven't been a Hilary Duff fan, but this single is actually pretty good. I'll at least check out her new album.)

samples from Skye Sweetnam - Noise From the Basement (people call her a younger Avril, but I'm a fan of the newer pop/rock and can hear the differences in each CD. I'll likely be buying this one.)

samples from Bonnie McKee - Trouble (this sounds like a bluesier CD than most of the newer pop CDs and more like the traditional pop songwriters like Carole King. I'm likely to be buying this one, too.)

[wryter2000]

1. B. B. King live at the Apollo

With the Phillip Morris Superband

2. Strategies Against Architecture by Einsturzende Neubaten.

I'd recommend this to everyone. It's a fantastic record.

[redqueen]

15. I love his voice

I can't decide if I want to buy the CD though... should I?

[Beware the Beast Man]

19. Yes, it's definitely worth it.

Not a bad track in the bunch. It's a must-have if his voice does it for you.

[redqueen]

I don't buy many CD's anymore... but I do love his voice, so I think I shall have to get this one. :)

[Rambis]

Good Lord, I'm going to go to heaven for tolerating this. No doubt. Lesser mothers would have thrown their sons (and their instruments) from the roof by now.

[flamingyouth]

20. Regressing to high school and listening to the Barracudas

They were a great, sorely underrated band. I was listening to them for the first time in years and was struck by the agoraphobic, angst-ridden lyrics; no wonder I liked them so much in high school.;)

Four Tet, M83, Grant Lee Buffalo, Rachael Yamagata, and The Album Leaf.

Squarepusher - "Burning'n'Tree"

I found them by accident, while downloading mp3s (fuck the RIAA) and liked what I heard so much that I went and bought the album.

Not sure which one I want to try next.

[Magrittes Pipe]

33. The Buzzcocks and Joy Division

It may as well be the fucking 24 Hour Party People soundtrack. I really must listen to something non-Mancunian. Maybe some country & western. Hank.
