Right now- Lenny Williams "You Got Me Running". A disco song off some recent Fabriclive collection.

A cd that came with "Global Rhythm" magazine. Not just world music but modern sounds from round the globe- Brazilian hip hop, Latin funk, etc.

Listening again to the White Stripes and a UK blues band called The Heavy (they remind me of the Black Keys).

Comin' soon- my annual fave records list. Yay!

"The Sphinx Won't Tell" by the Krayolas. Yay! cool awesome power pop!

Today i been listening to the Australian band, Triffids, and a reissue of their In The Pines album. Also listening to a compliation of soul & funk from the '70s and a reggae album by Joe Higgs.

The country-bluegrass-folk sounds of Brennen Leigh and the French pop musings of Brigitte Fonatine and the desert surf vibes of the Urban Surf Kings. All of them are great!

Been groovin to the She & Him cd. She is xc wife, Zooey Deschanel, and Him is M.Ward. Zooey does the lead vocals, sounding much like Linda Ronstadt on many tracks. Zooey also wrote most of the songs.
Excellent cd!

I like your wife's music! Especially, "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?"

That is a great song! It's my fave album of the year so far.

Been enjoying the new Black Keys, and a new band called Stinky Lou (ya might know i'd listen to a band named Stinky!).

Jeepers i'm gettin a monopoly on this here page almost.

The Kills new cd is excellent. Kind of a dancey White Stripes vibe. Check out their "Cheap and Cheerful" and "The Tape Song". Quite funnage.

Among the better listens this weekend:

Break N Bossa Chapt 8 a comp of new bossa nova mixed with electronica

Wicked Lady- obscure early '70s hard rock, BrucE might like this stuff

Amy MacDonald- Scottish singer-songwriter. KT Tunstall meet Kate Nash.

Chatham County Line- new album not as good as earlier cds but still a nice listen

Listening again to the She & Him album. Great stuff.

The new Mudcrutch album is pertty dern good. This is Tom Petty's first band & they reunited for their first official album. It's more country rock than rock and Petty sounds really good.

i's especially lovin the Duffy album. No, no no, not that Hillary Clinton Duff, but Duffy, the blonde haired blue eyed soul goddess from the UK. More like Duffy Springfield, for thems of us who appreciated Dusty Springfield. Duffy sounds an awfulage look like Dusty. She gonna be a wife of xc, lemme tell ya.

The new Long Blondes album. Pretty good stuff. Some of it reminds me of the Motels. No, not the motels where i takes my wives, but Martha Davis band the Motels.

The new Al Green album is amazing. Al is the king of soul.

Also been listening to Matmos Supreme Balloon album. i got the dbl LP version which has a couple tracks not found on the cd. Vinyl sounds soooooo good- me loves!

fall out boy..

dunno why all of a sudden.. but i;ve taken a liking to them

I watched the Buffy muscial the other day and now all those songs are stuck in my brain.

the new My Morning Jacket is really good. haven't heard as much music lately as i'd liked to have.

New Hold Steady album is very good. i been listenin to Elton John's 2nd album lately (the one with "Your Song") and some old Beach Boys and the Bon Iver that came out earlier this year.
