What New Music Are You Listening To?

[Colonels_Wear_Blue]

I'm generally a little pickier about music when it comes to the "pop" genre, but there's something about a lot of Ben Cooper's work that does it for me. He performs with a variety of acts, but I like his music with Electric President and his solo act called Radical Face the best. He has a digital only 6 song EP called Touch The Sky that he put out a couple months ago. Pretty solid. It's apparently b-side work from his 2007 album called Ghost (also very good). He kind of reminds me a little of Sufjan Stevens and a little bit of Rogue Wave's quieter stuff, with a touch of Dntel's percussion from the Postal Service.

I have recently found myself listening more and more to a new genre of music called dubstep.

The new Jazmine Sullivan is hard to pass up (as is her debut), even if you aren't a huge fan of R&B. Both albums are phenomenal. I listened to LCD Soundsystem's "This Is Happening" yesterday. It was ok.

Haven't heard that yet...have been listening to their pandora station for the past couple days, and have to say I'm hooked.

Great sound if you're into a capella. They started at IU and Youtube made them famous for their Christmas songs. I think they also have a non-Christmas CD out.

The Roots- How I Got Over

 

Some of the best hip hop I've ever heard. A lot of inspiring songs and great music and production. Worth a listen even if you are not a big fan of hip hop

I talked about this album in an earlier thread. Great stuff!

Wow...thanks man, I'll have to bookmark these. I've been checking out Daytrotter and HearYa for a while now and I sometimes look at Paste but all the rest of those are new to me. Thanks man.

The recent self titled CD by Stone Temple Pilots. It is different from their music during the 90's, but uniquely good.

Just discovered Adam Carroll. I got his album "Far Away Blues" on Friday, and I've probably been through it 4 times already since then. Very John Prine-esque.

I can't view the video at work but definitely will when I get home.

 

John Prine-esque is a VERY good endorsement in FKYW land.
