I figured you guys'd pick up on the reference.

Still, JL's voice is just about perfect, to me.

Bat For Lashes - Fur and Gold

I really like this album.

April March - Chick Habit

Yeah, I got this because of the song in Death Proof. I first got another album of hers, Triggers, but I couldn't really get into it that much. This album was out of stock at Amazon.com, but they finally shipped me a copy. I'm liking this one more. It's not really a full album, but an EP with bonus tracks, I guess. Close enough!

Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Riviera Paradise" 8:41 (live) on Carlos Santana's 1993 Sacred Sources "Live forever" OOP CD.
Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, and John Coltrane un-released perfomances are on the disc, as well.

Descartes a Kant - Paper Dolls
Electrelane - No Shouts, No Calls

Thanks to Cari's mix CD, I'm listening to these albums. I bought the Electrelane, but unfortunately I'm confined to a downloaded copy of Descartes a Kant's album until I can locate a place to purchase it from. I think I have to order from Mexico.

Descartes a Kant are crazy. I love how almost every song seems to swing from insane screaming to almost emotionally detached. They definitely use their share of sound effects, too. Very fun album.

Electrelane is a little more laid back. The vocals never get too forceful, and there are even some instrumental tracks, with "The Lighthouse" being wonderful. I hope they come out of their indefinite hiatus. They should be making more music.

Suburban Kids with Biblical Names - #3
The Ting Tings - We Started Nothing
CSS - Donkey

Cari didn't know if I'd like the whole Ting Tings album after I liked the song she included in the mix, but I did. It's not a kind of music I have a lot of. It's a cool album. They're another band to have a song featured in an iPod commercial. "Shut Up and Let Me Go." I didn't even realize it until I was listening and thought, "Hmm, I know this song." Anyway, some very catchy stuff. Not a waste.

The vocalist in Suburban Kids with Biblical Names reminds me of Jens Lekman. Swedish again. The whole album is pretty easy to get into. I've been pretty happy with the majority of the albums I've bought lately.

Those two albums I got based off of Cari's mix CD.

CSS's new album I'm not sure about. I've only gotten into a few tracks, and none of them have quite the hook of the best songs off their debut. Still, I'll give it some more listens before I decide.

Yael Naim

Pretty cool. I guess I needed some music in Hebrew.

Some very radio friendly fare, Daughtry and 3 Days Grace - One X

The two MegaChangers are on the Shuffle No Delay function and they've been on a roll this evening ... Allman Brothers 'Whipping Post', Otis Rush 'All Your Love (I Miss Loving)', Subdudes 'Brightest Star', Stevie Ray just wrapped up 'Love Struck Baby' and now it's Jimi Hendrix 'All Along The Watchtower'.

Time for a Heineken.

A little classical to start off the evening. Now have The Best of Kansas going. Taking a little trip back in time. Carry on our wayward son.
