I know rap isn't particularly popular on this board, and I've heard coworkers mention how bad female rappers are, to be even more specific, but I'm really liking these songs lately:

Fannypack - "Not This"

M.I.A. - "It Takes a Muscle"

Deerhoof - "Spiral Golden Town"

I've had coworkers comment on this one when I've had it playing. The horns do tend to cheer me up.

Jenica Rayne she's a local singer songwriter I love her check her out at www.jenicarayne.com

I've been working my way through some CD's lately & have found these gems:

Sade: Promise; Diamond Life; Stronger Than Pride

She is by far my favourite female artist & her backup band is superb. Haven't heard her latest offerings though although I expect that Santa is bringing me her newest CD. Her present world tour hopefully will spawn a HD concert DVD.


Steve Winwood: Refugees of the Heart

This one is the best recorded of his older CDs (1990) with uncompressed, full spectrum sound. Track 8 'In the Light of Day' is simply outstanding.


Eric Clapton: Me & Mr Johnson; Clapton

Excellent, full sound - especially the newer 'Clapton' CD


Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood: Live From Madison Square Garden

This is a DVD concert that it is excellently recorded. It sounds absolutely wonderful on my new HT system (M22s, twin Velo subs).

Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites

I like their sound. I'm still pretty clueless about dubstep. I'm not sure I should listen to the track "Kill EVERYBODY" too much.

Cœur de Pirate - Blonde

Liking it a lot on the first listen. I'll have to give it some serious volume tomorrow when I'm finally cleaning my house? Okay, at least the volume part.

Oh, dang, just found out there was a deluxe release with two bonus tracks. Now I'll have to find where I can get that for a peasantly sum.

A taste: Cœur de Pirate - "Cap Diamant"

I really like her voice. Had that album in my Amazon cart since you last linked to her.

Hard to go wrong with a beautiful voice paired with a beautiful language, right?
