Well, since I'm not yet cool like all of you people with your ipods I will talk about what is in my CD player right now. Finals are now over and its definitely time to start posting again!
Anyway, for some reason lately I have been a bit of a CD fiend. I have found it necessarily to start composing my own "library" of music. So without any further ado and in no particular order, I give you my list of what is good to listen to right now.
1) Damien Rice- O
Okay so I'm not too entirely sure if the title is a number or a letter, but this is a great CD. He write music exactly how I like it: slow and pretty with amazingly agonizing lyrics. The arranging is also really beautiful with a lot of strings and even a clarinet! Check out the songs "Cannonball" and "The Blower's Daughter", but watch out of you are prone to depression. (Just kidding!! If I can handle it, you can handle it!) Bottom line: Simplicity at its finest.
2) Feist- Let it Die
I have no words for how much I love this album. You must experience it yourself. Check out "mushaboom" and "let it die" and "lonely lonely" and... okay, just go check it alll out.
3) Ryan Adams- Gold
This CD will always remind me of summer and the person I spent it with but there is nooo denying either of them so it earns a spot on my list. Rock with a bit of country flavor to it. Check out "Dancing Where the Stars go Blue" and "Answering Bell"
4) Joss Stone- The Soul Session
This lady has an amazing voice and the music is funky. That is why I like it.
5) The Black Keys- The Big Comeup
This is, to me, very bluesy sounding but it has a very garage rock feel to it which is why it is great. Its just drums and guitar but it feels really good. Plus the singers voice turns me on.
6) John Mayer Trio- TRY!
This is definitely a "live in concert" CD and its good ol' John Mayer. I will not state a lot about this other than I love it because we all know what I think about my Johnny.
I would go on with the list but I fear it would be too long. Some other artists though that I also enjoy are Wilco, Amos Lee, Cassandra Wilson, Eva Cassidy, Oscar Peterson, and Jaco Pastorius. All goodies!
Happy Listening!
Song of the day- "cheers darlin" - Damien Rice
