In my iPod...

Ok, this is a quick one. I recently gave my sister the address to this silly page. The result is her sending me an email to update it. Well maybe thats what I need to get myself to updated this thing is have her bug me about it. Anyway...

Since this post was inspired by her, I am going to just talk about the music that I've been listening to lately since this is always one of our favorite subjects to talk about. Oh It's also her birthday tomorow! Happy Birthday Jen!

Here's the latest music:

• New Pornographers, Twin Cinema
• Not bad but I haven't listened to it enough to decide if I like them as much as I like their one song, Use It
  
• Kanye West, Late Registration
• Goldigger is the jam on this one. There are a few other great songs on here. I need to get his College Dropout Album
  
• Common, Be
• Testify, I'm sure you've heard it but the album is good. Many songs feature Kanye too.
  
• Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
• Just got this one. Tons of chatter and acclaim for them but I don't know if I can get over the lead singers wierd voice. Probably another album I just have to listen to a few more times.
  
• Fiona Apple, Extraordinary Machine
• What can I say. Anything she puts out is good.
• Blackalicious, The Craft
• Some more hip hop. This could be by far their best album yet and thats saying a lot because their previous stuff is like an unearthed gem. Most people never even heard of them but really, you should check them out.
  
• Supergrass
• I finally got around to getting some of their music. They have been around for quite some time and everyone that knows about them swear they are great.
  
• Hot Hot Heat
• I've been meaning to get some stuff of theirs but there is this one song I don't remember the name, it rocks. Thanks to my friend Stephanie for finally getting me into these guys.
  
• White Stripes, Get Behind Me Satan
• Again, anythign they do is awesome. I think they are the best thing to happen to rock and roll for a long time. I still love their stripped down music. And come on, who can get the doorbell song out of their head?
  
• The Strokes, First Impressions of Earth
• One of my favorite bands so I had to get their new album. Didn't like it the first time I listened to it, but then like most stuff I really like the more I listened the more I love it. Not sure if its as good as their past albums but I still think its great. You only live once is a great track and I think my favorite of the album is On the other side
  
• Betty Lavette, I've got my own hell to raise
  
• Look her up. She's an amazing singer from the 50-60's I think. She didn't have much commercial succes. Each song from this album is a cover from more contemporary artists like fiona apple. I think its worth a listen.
  
• Brazilian Girls, Brazilian Girls
  
• I want to find their album where they did Bossa-Nova covers of contemporary songs. However this album is still impressive. If you want to listen to something mellow this is it. I might go see them when they are in town soon.
  
• Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
• Another band that's coming to the 9:30 club soon. I'm trying to figure out if I like them enough to go to their show. Why not? The track, Shuffle your feet I really like. They get a little too slow for someone who I'd go see live though. We'll see.
  
• Phantom Planet, Phantom Planet
  
• I FINALLY got their album. My friend had it and I love it. Most people know them from their song California aka the theme song to the show O.C. on Fox. Yeah I know, but trust me, these guys kick ass. Oh and they are young as hell. I think the youngest guy in the band is 17.

Ok this wasn't nearly as short as I thought it would be. I hope your happy Jen. It's late and I have to get up early for a 7:30 meeting tomorow morning. Bleh Peace out
