What New Music Are You Listening To?

I haven't really warmed up to Built To Spill yet, for whatever reason, but have enjoyed what I've heard from the current National release. If I could have found a copy of it the other day while at ear X-tacy, I would've bought it.

 

The I like High Violet and Alligator the best as far as The National's albums go...although they're all pretty good as far as I'm concerned. And I'd say that Keep It Like A Secret is probably the easiest of the Built To Spill albums to get into.

It's not brand new but Lil Wayne's stuff off of "I am not a Human Being".

I've had that happen before where an album just didn't jive with me the first few times, for whatever reason, and went back and revisited it and loved it. It seemed like I always had to let Jesus and Mary Chain albums breathe a while before I could appreciate them.

Oh yea, I've experienced it a couple of times before...actually I think the first time I heard Neko Case I didn't really appreciate it. But that has drastically changed.

Finally picked up all the Band of Horses albums, and I'm loving them. Got a copy of the Delta Spirit debut on order, and am looking for a copy of their new one.

Love this song off of Junky Star:

Been listening to a lot of Joe Pug stuff I got off of hearya.com, it's very good stuff. Going to try and pick up his latest release this week.

Awesome... I've got all three and love them all.

 

"St. Augustine" is one of my favorite songs to listen to after a long day.

Menahan Street Band - Make the Road by Walking

 

I've been listening to this album for about 3 days straight. I'd actually say it's probably the best album of instrumental music I've ever gotten...seriously. It's great Afrobeat funk. One of my buddies came over to my place last night, and I had the record spinning when he got there. He said it sounded like John Shaft and Jackie Brown should be walking around in my living room :lol:

 

For what it's worth, they're on one of the Daptone sub-labels, and literally everything I've hear on Daptone has been pretty fantastic. It's an independent funk/soul label based out of Brooklyn.

Kent Eugene Goolsby - Wide Eyed Son EP

 

I'm not too huge on his stuff with the band The Only Sons, but after a first listen, I think I'm a fan of his solo work. Definitely going for the country/Americana vibe. You can download his EP here for free too...

Delta Spirit on AllMusic.com

 

Here's a performance from Live with Jools Holland. The first song is one you've probably heard; just didn't know the name of it (like me).

 

 

When I glanced at the video I thought you were listening to Bushwick Bill.

JJ Grey and Mofro - Georgia Warhorse
