2. Blue Turtle Seduction! |
|
Great band out of Lake Tahoe. Kind of gypsy, bluegrass with a blues harp kind of music. http://www.blueturtleseduction.com/ I love the songs "Gov'mint" and "Peace In The Neighborhood".

3. Some new discoveries from this year |
|
(I knew about Vanessa Carlton, Bruce Springsteen, The Pierces, and Brandi Carlile for example before)
Lucy Walsh Kate Voegele Alexa Wilkinson Augie March The Dollyrots Angie Mattson Jesca Hoop The Affair Against Me! Rooney Aly & AJ (highly recommend the new CD) Mandy Moore (new one is her best, though the self-titled is also good) They Might Be Giants Adrienne Pierce Katie Armiger Taylor Swift The Fratellis Lynn Carey Saylor Jag Star Sloan Lisa Mychols Lavender Diamond The Nightwatchman Dean & Britta The National Georgie James Tralala The Clientele Ben Lee Detroit Cobras The Sadies Jesse Malin Imperial Teen Kyle Lardner
I'm stopping here, but I have found more.
My tastes lean towards classic rock, pop/rock, indie pop, and singer songwriter, but you can tell I give other styles a chance.

6. I like the Dollyrots. Lots of fun |

You might look into Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer.
Very similar.

10. Carolyn Wonderland...A cross between Janis and Aretha.... |
|
And she plays guitar a whole bunch too. She should be a much bigger force in the music world right now.

Weird (talking Kid A-era Radiohead weird), and catchy as hell. Super Taranta (their latest) is very high on my list of albums to get.

5. Do you think I'd like Gogol Bordello? |
|
I do like Radiohead's Kid A - but not as much as OK Computer.

9. Not a band but a female singer |
|
Yvette Lyon, She has a new album titled Everythings fine just fine, it's very easy on the ear. She's a Scottish singer and I can't find her stuff here but she has a my space page if anyone wants to hear her.

21. I like the sound of the Decembrists |
|
Edited on Sat Oct-06-07 09:03 PM by tigereye
and I saw a great, poppy all-female Irish band called the Screaming Orphans not too long ago.
Churgilchin - more modernist Tuvan throat singers - are excellent.
None are "new" mostly new to me.
Oh, and the Noisettes! They remind me of all the best aspects of post-punk with an almost experimental quality, AND a singer who actually has an amazing voice.
