I think The Stars All Seem To Weep, Blood Red River, and The Sweetest Decline are some of her best songs ever. (Ryan's live cover of The Sweetest Decline is lovely too.)

So I got Beth Orton - Pass in Time. Iam new to her, everyone kept telling me that she sucked, whingy chick music, but I've heard some recently to make me doubt this claim. So yeah.
Also Josh Ritters - Animal Years. As it made most everyones top 10, I tend to go by peoples recommedations seeing Im too much of a control freak for radio. I recently got a copy of Me & Jiggs off the album Golden Age of Radio I believe, Iam totally hooked on that song, so I cant wait to give this album a spin. :)

Josh Ritter! I am officially extemely jealous.

[hildegoat]

I haven't seen him for a few years, so I've been waiting for a Winnipeg tour date since The Animal Years came out.

I've actually only seen him once before. He was opening for Sarah Harmer a couple of years ago and became and got his CD right after the show (I had never heard of him before that night). I had just started going out with my girlfriend at the time, and she didn't go with me. I played her the CD and she's been bugging me to keep an eye out for a Winnipeg show every since. :)

I actually was pretty sick that concert night and was contemplating skipping out on the show. What a mistake that would have been!

Flaming Red - Patty Griffin

Sydders, did you notice that Bard Pemberton and Chris Feinstien are on it in their old band Iodine? The singer Jay Joyce produced it.

[Rob]

http://www.krunker.com/wp-content/photos/2005/12/creative_zen_vision_m.jpg

[sicottem]

how do you like the creative? ive been thinking about switching to something other than an iPod once mine dies...

[Rob]

I love it after my first day. I had to get it since I signed up for Yahoo! Music Unlimited. The files from there don't work on iPods.

The player seems much more flexible with what file types you can add to it. Both video and music files.

I was able to get a new 30gb on ebay for $200 shipped. Not a bad deal.

[risa]

i have one too, i love it. never went the ipod route, always creative for me.

[hildegoat]

My girlfriend got a Creative Zen Micro 6GB last year and loves it. We only had one problem -- after about a month or so, it wouldn't charge anymore. After doing some diagnosis via email with Creative support, we had to exchange the unit. The new unit they sent us has been working trouble-free ever since.

I think she likes the Creative one because it's got a bit of heft, as opposed to the iPod.

[blueone]

I have an old school Creative Zen AKA this brick:

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0006VYGRG.01._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

[Quincy]

Really, I never even noticed. Small musical world. Good album too.

Yeah it is, but I can see(hear) what you mean by her voice getting lost in the music.

It was the first thing I noticed, I don't usually check liner notes that often, but I did today. You can also hear Brad counting in on the first song.

Funny, I've heard that count in so many times and never realised it was Brad.

And her voice does get overwhelmed by the production, doesn't it, which is a shame because there are some great songs on the album. Dirty Little Wiggly Fingers is a standout for me and Mary is just beautiful.

[Quincy]

yeah Wiggly Fingers was the top one for me when I listened to it.

I love that album. I went through something of an obsessive period with it some years back. I particularly love her cover of Jackson Browne's "These Days".

parallel lines is awesome. i love hanging on the telephone. it's cool, because i don't have that much other stuff that is so danceable and fun.

It's an awesome album. One of my favorite road trip albums. I have fond memories of my friend and I singing Hanging on The Telephone and Picture This at the top of our lungs while blazing down the highway. :D


(Yes, I've taken to commenting on everyone's purchases :lol)

[ferris wheel junkie]

(Yes, I've taken to commenting on everyone's purchases :lol)

hopefully the point would be to be discussing music! otherwise it's just a big long list of everyones perchases, i am liking reading the comments.

anyways, so parallel lines is awesome, are any other blondie albums that great?

[SkortBrun]

I love that album. I went through something of an obsessive period with it some years back. I particularly love her cover of Jackson Browne's "These Days".

Wow. That's some pretty big praise. I hope I like it at least half as much as you did. So far all I've heard off it are the Jackson Browne cover and "I'll Keep It With Mine," which I think was written by Bob Dylan.

[foggy]

Wow. That's some pretty big praise. I hope I like it at least half as much as you did. So far all I've heard off it are the Jackson Browne cover and "I'll Keep It With Mine," which I think was written by Bob Dylan.

Yep, it's a Dylan cover. Almost all the songs are covers on Chelsea Girl, I believe she only co-wrote one, "It Was a Pleasure Then" which she wrote with Lou Reed and John Cale. This opposed to her other albums in which she wrote most of the songs. Anyway, hope you like it. :) If you do, definitely check out Desertshore. Another great album, possibly my favorite of hers.

if you want another classic album put van morrison's astral weeks on your list.

[Quincy]

yeah I have, to me it sounded a bit all over the place, it didn't really flow. But there are some decent songs on it, Pictures of Success is one that comes to mind. Too many songs sung by Blake too, I'm not that big a fan of his.



Added.

[ferris wheel junkie]

i do love jenny lewis.

that van one is one of my all time favourites ever in the world ever.

it's different to anything else you might have heard by him. it's kinda hippyish but in a good way.

[Quincy]

hippyish works for me, i'll check out the record store tomorrow.

But why linken park?

[ferris wheel junkie]

remember at the cardies gigs when they used to play "numb"?

it made me miss that album.
it brings back angsty teenage memories.

plus it's pretty good.



i am loving this lupe fiasco one.

[Quincy]

oh, yeah I don't think even that would make me buy one of their albums, I hope it was cheap.

what is a lupe fiasco?

[ferris wheel junkie]

http://www.myspace.com/lupefiasco - check out the track called "kick push"

linkin park was a normal price but i wanted it. i like it. :pimp :cool:

[Quincy]

I think I'm going to leave the lupe and linken with you.

Have you listen to The Gleam?

[ferris wheel junkie]

not yet.

lupe is your loss. i think this is fantastic. especially that kick, push song.

[Quincy]

maybe it is my loss, i hope i can cope.

[ferris wheel junkie]

i just hope so, q, i hope so.

I really like this. At this point I'd say it's tied with Funeral.

Common-Be
I don't usually like hip-hop but this is really good. It's soulful and jazzy at times and it's not just about "bitches and rims" so that's another plus.

Albert Hammond Jr.-Yours to Keep
This is the Strokes guitarist, for those who didn't know. It's a good album and I was surprised how much it doesn't sound like the Strokes.

I also reserved a copy of Bright Eyes' Four Winds EP.

that sounds cool.

maybe i should look out for that one!

[thefed]

Common's second record, Resurrection, is one of the top five hip-hop LPs of all time. Lupe fans, check out Wiz Khalifa from Pittsburgh.

[ferris wheel junkie]

i have no idea about anything to do with hiphop. i appreciate recomendations.

thanks!!!

[SkortBrun]

I highly recommend it. And apparently it's considered by many to be one of the best hip-hop albums of the last 10 years so it's got that going for it too.

Common's second record, Resurrection, is one of the top five hip-hop LPs of all time.

I'll have to check that one out.

I am really not allowing myself to buy cds at the moment, budget and all. But It was on sale one of the few I don't have. I had to, now looking at track listing I see I was only missing a few songs but I cant call myself a fan without it! :lol

hildegoat - completely off thread - is that a Maine Coon?

[hildegoat]

My avatar? Thank's Hank, one of my kitties. He's just got big fluffy cheeks.

If you're not talking about my avatar, you'll have to clarify further. :)

[hildegoat]

I have no clue what breed Hank is -- he's a Humane Society pick-up.

Edit: After looking up Maine Coon on Wikipedia, Hank (and Layla for that matter) could be Maine Coons.

I was talking about Hank - he looks just like my Maine Coon (Kuku). If he has a long long long fluffy tail and fur that never tangles he definitely is. Beautiful.

Sorry - back to thread.

Neil Young-Live at Massey Hall 1971 - Is this the Volume 3 (labelled 3 but actually 2)? If it is I have it on pre-order but it's not available until 19 March.
Glad there are other Neil Young fans here.

If his first album is anything to go by then you won't be disappointed.

[hildegoat]

I can really hear the Blue Rodeo influences. I like it now, but I'm sure it'll be a grower.

I've never heard anything from Blue Rodeo. Sounds like I need to check them out.

[hildegoat]

5 Days In July is their most popular one, arguably. Jim Cuddy's voice is my favorite in music and it looks like he contributed vocals to Justin Rutledge's album. Greg Keelor (another Blue Rodeo member) contributed as well.

So I assume they are alt country/roots in style, same as Justin Rutledge?

I do remember reading an interview where he mentioned how thrilled he was that Jim Cuddy was covering Lay Me Down, Sweet Jesus, which is a terrific track from his first album. I just didn't know who Jim Cuddy was.

They're in the same genre, but significantly poppier. Cuddy and Keelor are the two main songwriters and vocalists. They're a bit of an institution here in Canada.

Here's an unoffical MySpace page with streaming songs (the offical doesn't have as wide a range of tunes):

[Sydneyfan]

Just listened to those songs - they are really good. On the strength of that I'm going to order Five Days in July.

[hildegoat]

:upyours That's the one I have. I just dug it out last night and listened to it again because of this discussion.

[foggy]

Nice cd suggestion, hilde. I've seen Jim live a couple of times. He was on CBC's The Hour last week, maybe you caught it?

[hildegoat]

No, I didn't catch it sadly. I surprisingly haven't seen him or Blue Rodeo live. They were here this past summer, but they played the arena so I didn't go.

[Starlite]

Instead of sight-seeing, I stopped at everywhere music shop I passed, and I found Hem - Rabbit Songs and Justin Rutledge - No Never Alone for £10 each :upyours.

Just ordered Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye off Amazon. I'm not overly familiar with the songs on this album but Marvin Gaye could sing about shitting on my Dad's chest and I'd still listen to that song so I think I'll probably like this.

http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s8413.jpg (http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/marvin_gaye/here__my_dear/)

[foggy]

It's a great album, Skortbrun. :upyours He wrote it after his marriage broke up. (if you didn't know)

[SkortBrun]

Well I'm glad to hear some approval for it. Would you say it's on par with other really sad albums like Blood On The Tracks by Dylan (assuming you've heard it) or Love is Hell?

[foggy]

Hard to compare as it's so different, but on par in that it's a excellent concept album, raw and honest, and all the songs work really well together. It's one of my favorites of his actually, oddly you don't hear all that much about it. Interesting bit.. his ex-wife (Anna Gordy) received the album's profits as part of their divorce settlement.

[batleon]

Hopefully D+T tix today :upyours

[Faded Rose]

2 tickets for Damien Rice in October at Wembley. A Fionn Regan album ordered from Amazon - he was the opening act for Damien and seemed worth a listen.

SkortBrun, if you like Marvin the DVD's Searching Soul and The Real Thing are great to have.
