    Kinda funny, I've been really hating new music for a few years, but finally it seems like music's getting good again.

    A couple CDs I like lately are the Killers - Hot Fuss, Coheed and Cambria - IV, Brandi Carlile - Brandi Carlile... hmmm, can't think of the others, but it feels to me like music is getting good again.
    I just don't end up where think I'm going when I start out.

    Bring it on! You think I'm a scared of some liquid soap?! My mom finally got so frustrated, she used lava soap on me. I see your liquid soap and I say this to it:

    I love some of the reggae that's been coming out lately. Buju's latest, Damian's new cd, Sean Paul.

    Sean Paul has been either hit-or-miss lately, though. Us long-time fans can only reminisce about the days when he never made a wack song. Never. "We Be Burnin'" is my shyte, though.

    favorite two artists, wendy, are PM Dawn and Seal. That combo is goes a long ways around these parts, not by accident I don't suppose.

    I also truly adore "Murder by Death" who was first known as "Little Joe Gould"

    "Crazy" is an awesome song. It's a good philosophy to have.
    His remake of Hendrix's "Hey Joe" is pretty decent, too.
    "Kiss From a Rose" was a good song to put out into RadioLand.
    I think that Seal's baby is going to be gorgeous, BTW.

    Does anybody here like HIM? I am mesmerized by his vocal skills. I must have heard his cd 66 times this month.

    Truthfully, I've been listening to a serious amount of jazz lately...

    Keith Jarrett's new "Radiance" album
    Albert Ayler's "Live in Greenwich Village" sessions
    Ravi Coltrane's "Moving Pictures"
    Andrew Hill's "Dance of Death"
    Cecil Taylor's "Conquistador"
    And I accidentally got a Joe Lovano cd "Joyous Encounter" which is seriously mellow.

    And the last few days, I've been getting into Opera mode again, listening to Carmen and Traviata, and some Beverly Sills. Don't know if anyone else here is into this stuff at all...but whatever...it's what's been on my player...

    iBored sometimes

    My good, sullen, sad and affecting musicians I've come across lately I went and pushed into an iTunes iMix "studying stones" I labeled it. If anyone's curious you can sample that stuff there. Jame's Blunt and Ashton Allen being the newer of artists I've come across.
    Also "living in Rome" good song and great video. http://www.nickelcreek.com/

    That video they did for their song "Speak" a few years ago blew me away. It's so simple but it's captivating, the way the song shifts and the way the characters are so utterly self-involved.

    Is anyone here into Spooks? I loved their first album, and their second came out last year without my knowing it. The reviews were across-the-board positive, but considering that it was grossly underpromoted, I doubt that many people bought it. Have any of you heard their second album? I'm going to buy it anyway, but I was wondering if anybody could gimme an advance report.

    Anything by Audioslave
    Brad Paisley is a fav.
    lifehouse and collective soul and allanis morrisette's music video is great
    hard to do a cover but a.m.'s Crazy and Paisley's cover of Leila are both excellent. After that it depends on the moment unfortunately being old enough to remember the day mtv was touted as no commercials kinda sours the vh1 and all the other commercial crams imho cripes that's what makes radio a drag sometimes you have to wait 4ever to get to the tunes in between all the chatting, jokes, and contests
    Love the music; not gungho over the biz.
    The Father's letter is for you. His ways are higher than ours. It takes time to grow a seed and bear good fruit. Rebuke the devourer. The battle is the Lord's and He will be victorious.


    If that makes me crazy then that's okay.
    Reverence for the Father and his instructions outweighs all else.
    In all directions, love one another give us grace for agreement with Your will.
    Leaving all else behind us.
    I love you God; show me the real truth not idols.
    Pleading the blood on life and the world all over.
    so be it.

    Thanks for the link, humanity!
    That's the first that I've heard her music, and I'm digging it! I think I'ma buy that record.
    At times, the texture of her voice reminds me somewhat of Alana Davis (www.alanadavis.com), although Leela seems to have more oomph in her voice than Alana's ever displayed.
