musical musings

My music collection has become somewhat stale as of late. I've been on the lookout for new things, but I also realized I'm not sure what I even like anymore. So, I've been listening around with a pretty open mind... and ears. I've found a couple of things that I am interested in.

1. La Dispute - Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair
While we were setting up for a shoot yesterday, Jake put their new album on. It was really good. I don't have it yet, but this is one that I want to buy from the source instead of pirate, because it's a local band and I want to support them.

2. Marc Broussard
Yeah, he's been around for a while, but I just saw him on Leno again recently. I think he's just good feel-good music. I really just want to collect any of his songs wherever I can find them, and not spend $45 to buy all of his albums.

3. Rosie Thomas- A Very Rosie Christmas
I am very excited about this album and will also be buying it soon. I am also hoping to go see her Christmas concert downtown in December. mmmmm....


Any other suggestions?

i don't know if i'm a good source of music suggestions, but all i've been listening to lately is iron & wine, the weavers, and nada surf.

i basically sit in my car and sing "follow the drinking gourd" very loudly. i love me some old folk.

I've been having the same dilemma for a while, so let me know if you discover anything sweet.

Maybe try these?

Cake, Billy Joel, Imogen Heap, A Fine Frenzy, Also! The Vitamin String Quartet is really fun. They do covers of artists from all genres. They have some really great versions of songs by Queen.
