I'm listening to Sigur Ros, I don't have a favorite song just the whole CD. I can't explain this type of my music. They're from Iceland.

maddie, you might like goodbye my lover-james blunt. so sad and bittersweet..

Random selection of what I've been listening to on repeat:

"Life on Mars" -David Bowie
"I'm Going Down" -Bruce Springsteen
"So Lonely" -The Police
"The Rain Song" -Led Zeppelin
"You Know You're Right" and "Sappy" -Nirvana
"The City" -Dismemberment Plan
"It's Not Pecular" -Husker Du


Maddie I love Mirah. I mainly just listen to Advisory Committee all the time but my boyfriend and I listened to You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This a lot when I was visiting him the other week so now it has sentimental value and will probably make me weepy and depressed when I listen to it now!

Mirah is so amazing. You Think... was my CD this summer; like every week I'd discover a new favorite song. And I just got Advisory Comittee on vinyl. If I were you'd I'd listen to Million Miles (it's so fitting) and wallow.

It's ridiculously fitting! "I've got one week behind me, just six more to go"
I've been trying not to wallow but I think I'm just going to give in and get it out of my system.

shamefully, i have already broken out the christmas music. so lately i've been listening to phil specter's christmas album. (specifically "christmas, baby please come home" by darlene love)

otherwise i'm really obsessed with quasi's "please do."

well i guess iam the odd  ball here

country

That's something to be proud of-Montgromaery Gentry

she's somebody hero- Jamie ONeil

LoneStar

Your like coming home and I love Iam already there(the video called Saulate to the American soldiers is bone chilling but i love it it makes me cry ever time

Gretchen Wilson- all jacked up

I love the old rock too- 60-70's and even the 80's well i grew up with that kind so i guess it is to be excpected Guns and Roses, Bon Jovi ,Boston, Aerosmith and the list goes on lol

 

i have no idea what's new or old so forgive me if some of the songs are "out." i'm a bit of a hip-hop head so a lot of the songs are that genre

processed beats -- kasabian

so have i for you -- nikka costa

chewing gum -- annie

there it go (whistle song) & mic check 1,2 -- juelez santana

go crazy -- young jeezy (these are hardcore hip-hop, so they make not be your taste)

if you're looking to learn more about new music i highly recommend reading www.stereogum.com (he always posts links to mp3's a lot of it's indie, but it's a great way to preview new stuff). you can also try npr's songs to consider (you can download it from the npr site). i also really like www.eastvillageradio.com it's streaming radio. they do it in 2 hour sets and have a wide array of dj's spanning different genres. this is where i find most of the new stuff i add to my ipod.
