What music have you listened to this weekend?

[mvd]

Here are the albums in my collection that I listened to:

The National - Boxer (highly recommended indie music - folky songs like "Start A War" are up with the best of the genre.)

Against Me! - New Wave (one of the best rock albums of the year)

The Dollyrots - Because I'm Awesome (wonderful power pop type music!)

Two albums on CMT's album previews:

Katie Armiger - self-titled (she has a very good voice for her age, and it's not commercial fluff. Like Taylor Swift, she is a very talented young country star. Katie has a bit of alt-country in her sound, while Taylor recreates the wistful Deana Carter sound with some Michelle Branch in there.)

Kenny Chesney - Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates (his new CD isn't bad. The first 5 songs are good, and the last one
("Demons") has good lyrics. I don't think he sings "Wild Ride" very well, though.)

samples from:

Drug Rug - they would be better if the female member could sing

Plumb - the new stuff gets a big thumbs up, as always

1. Glad to see you dig the Against Me! album.

Definitely at the top of my favourites for this year. I've been listening to a lot of Refused this weekend. Kanye West's new album as well, which is pretty solid. Right now I'm listening to Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures."

4. Yep - finally got it

The lead singer's voice is perfect for the rock music. Intense, but not whiny, emo-ish, or overdone.

2. I'm about to throw on some Trivium

Other than that I've listened to the radio a few times, but that's it.

[Bennyboy]

6. Phish, Grateful Dead and Blue Turtle Seduction....

[mvd]

7. Oh, I forgot

Heard samples of all the songs from KT Tunstall's Drastic Fantastic. I am VERY impressed! More varied than the debut, even "Hold On" sounds more fresh among the other songs. The CD definitely packs a lot of pop punch, if these samples are any indication. The CD went high on my wish list.

8. Music me and my friends made.

We was jammin!!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. Lots:

The Velvet Underground and Nico
The White Album (Beatles)
Martinis with (Henry) Mancini
Pink Floyd - Piper At the Gates of Dawn
Wu-Tang Clan - 36 Chambers: Enter the Wu-Tang

Many other individual songs on my iPod, too.

10. I heart The National

I've been listening to a Fugazi record and a Minneapolis Genius record (that's Punk & Funk, notice my rhyming taste today) both from the 80's because I just got a record player that makes vinyl stuff into mp3's!!! :headbang: I'm so happy with myself I can hardly stand it :D I'll be wasting time listening to some RANDOM music but it's so fun now!

11. Listened to:

Ray LaMontagne's albums -- Trouble and Till The Sun Turns Black -- mostly.

Oh, and Queen's Greatest Hits I & II.

[peacefreak]

12. Dug deep for some of them

Randy Newman--Sail Away
David Grisman & Jerry Garcia--Not for Kids Only
Taj Mahal--Taj's Blues
Neko Case--Furnace Room Lullabies
Brandi Carlile
Art of the Solo

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. Autechre, "Anvil Vapre" and Mad Professor, "Psychedelic Dub".

[mvd]

14. Also heard..

samples from -

Patti Scialfa's Play It as It Lays - IMO not as strong as her previous CD. It lacks melodies that are as strong, causing her vocals to seem more flat.

The Static Dynamic - pretty hard stuff, but melodic. They are worth checking out more.

And Alicia Keys's new song "No One." Glad to see she's sticking to that older R&B sound!
