also...

i just bought the new live Wilco CD...it of course is amazing just like all Wilco...

i also just bought the Danger Doom CD which is very good...

and the new CD from The (International) Noise Conspiracy...which is good, but I like their old stuff better...this one was produced by Rick Rubin and sounds a bit overproduced...but it may grow on me with time

other recent purchases:
juliana hatfield
rilo kiley
the postal service
fiona apple
the 22-20s

i've started listening to arcade fire and boards of canada

Cafe Tacuba
Kanye West
Nina Simone

buck 65 - talkin honky blues
jimmy smith - house party

Someone above mentioned Animal Collective "Feels", which is awesome.

Other than that, I've been going back a few years and rocking:

Jesus Lizard "Goat" and "Liar"
Unsane "Occupational Hazard"
The Dwarves "The Dwarves Are Young and Good Looking"
Girls vs. Boys "Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby"

broken social scene
talking heads
interpol-turn on the bright lights


guess you could say, i gave you my edge

and of course, im always listening to

radiohead
arcade fire
antony and the johnsons
the wrens
old death cab albums

I saw The Dwarves live once. Blag Dahlia is really friggin' tall.

just saw ted leo + phamacists live a couple days ago. really kickass, even though he was practically coughing up a lung. one of the openers (tristeza) really sucked, but the other, brandon butler, was really cool - kinda like if neil young made an indie album.

really digging the new talking heads remasters as well. gotta get around to ripping the DVD-A sides so I can listen to the high res tracks.

seconded on the wilco live album, I've seen (and recorded) them 6 times, the show they released isn't the best I've heard, but it's up there. including california stars would be an improvement.

Nujabes - Modal Soul

wille nelson-crazy:the demo sessions
calexico
molotov

the new CD from Kate Bush after 12 years away...good cd by the way

oh and a lot of AIR

antony and the johnsons (the lake is on forever - his rendition of strange fruit is pretty much the same music. the boy lives in her own musical world)
cocorosie (antony's beautiful boys) and the prettiest line i came across this month: " feel in love with you just because the sky turned from grey into blue"
hope sandoval&the warm inventions 'bavarian fruit bread' (it just sounds much 'warmer' than mazzy star and mostly you can hear the words)
cat power 'moonpix' (her best album, really)
lady&bird (heeeelp, heeeelp ...belle and sebastian in south park)
shannon wright (the scabby thrill-rasp in her voice...wow...very driven music...but she could use someone to write the lyrics for her)
tori...always
bjork ..always

"i fell in love with you just because the sky turned from grey into blue"

i really need something different, as beautiful and different as antony. it has to carry me through this month at work. any suggestions?

Well, if you like antony+cocorosie, why not devendra banhart as well?

Or ,

Blonde Redhead "La Mia Vita Violenta" / "Misery is a Butterfly"
David Sylvian "Blemish" / "Everything and Nothing"
Stina Nordenstam "People are Strange" / "The World is Saved"
Jens Lekman "When I said I wanted to be your dog" / "Maple Leaves"
Philippe Katerine "8ème ciel" (a taste for absurd humour is required though)

Patrick Wolf - Wind in the Wires (*suggestion to cellardoor whore)
Langhorne Slim - The Electric Love Letter
Jackson C. Frank - some compliation
Betty Davis - Nasty Gal
The Softies - it's Love
The Queen of Japan - I Was Made For Loving You

not fresh, but i recently (re-)discovered beck's 'sea change'. usually a fan of beck, but i didn't like this one when it came out. popped it in earlier this week and haven't gotten over it yet. it's like a drug and i'm addicted. mellow and depressing, but in such a beautiful way that it makes me feel ok. guess i'm doing fine.

just picked up wilco's live album from the vic theatre. i think it will be all i listen to until its time for auld lang syne.

my commercial tastes get the best of me... new singles by madonna and shakira. how is the new madonna album? havent heard the whole thing

also: Wisin Y Yandel::Rakata

vado, wilco has a live album?i saw them this summer, they were amazing live, as good as on cd but on a different level...

i just got some stuff from jose gonzales, who 's the author of the new sony flat screen tv advert (the one with the balls)...very nice acoustic stuff.

cave in have a new album out, and apparently they've gone back to their metalcore roots...rock on motherfucker.

javier...madonna is bad for you. seriously, there is much better pop out there! she's just been recycling what ever was cool in the ny club scene for the past 20 years...

(this message had been brought to you by the FAMP, foundation against meaningless pop. more mastodon, less madonna:)

I agree, but still...it's catchy!

Arular-M.I.A.
Tender Buttons- Broadcast
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!

yeah its called kicking television. recorded at the vic in chicago in may. two discs mostly from ghost is born and yankee hotel foxtrot. it is freakin awesome.

stockhausen

Javier, the new Madonna album rocks my socks off. I can barely keep myself from busting into some serious white-boy foolishness as I listen to it on my iPod.

I've also been enjoying some old school:

Emiliana Torrini - Love in the Time of Science
The Minus Five - Down with Wilco
And various bits of: Del Amitri, Rhett Miller (Old 97's), Karen DeBerg, Colin Hay, Steve Bertrand (Avion), and Dina D'Allesandro.

Web radio at Soma FM, cliqhop and the Drone Zone.

i was just learnin a rhett miller song "come around" on the geetar lassnite

Check out the 1108 Thugz if you want some serious in your face, fresh rap.

funny. the cd shop person asked me just that: and why not devendra?

still the belle of the ball is antony. i dont recall hearing anyone, aside from billy holiday perhaps, be so utterly properly pathetic and excusable.. now....that...i do not mind reenacting :o)
i just wrote 'him' my first pathetic love letter.
come to think of it jeff buckley is also pathetic

susan. yes i wanted to check it out for some time now. thank you.

i really like feist

Feist is very good and even better live. Also very into Minotaur Shock

For the past week I've been stuck in the 90's (barely at that)

Dinosaur Jr. - Green Mind
Mudhoney- March to Fuzz (best of)

I can't imagine ever not liking these albums, but I'm starting to look forward to not waking up with them in my head.

the go! team - "thunder, lightning, strike"

the US version has one of the most beautiful songs ever, "hold your terror close". sounds like it was recorded on an elementary-school cafetorium stage by someone holding the blue-and-white plastic microphone of a fisher-price tape recorder

My Morning Jacket - Z
