Ive found some good music in the last few weeks. New to me.


Broken Social Scene. A lot like Yo La Tengo, but more hippy and more...hmm...polyphonic spree? Still pretty good and conceptual. They are a big band. Literally.

Regina Spektor. I kept seeing a commercial with her song "Fidelity", but I never paid attention. And then I had the song burning a hole in my mind and but I didn't know what her name was. All I knew was the chorus, so I asked the internet and friends "who is that black english pop singer that has this song that goes..." except shes not black, or english. Shes white and lives in NYC (but is russian.

Anyways, shes a sort of Fiona Apple/Tori Amos kind of singer, and now that I've had my fix, I'm kind of over her as I dont really like that kind of music anyways.

During my quest to find Spektor, I found Emiliana Torrini. Who is a lot like those three girls I mentioned, but also kind of like a girl version of Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst (If You Go Away in perticular), but less manic, and you know...a girl. I can maybe take one song before I have to move on.

And The Who. I don't love them, or really listen to them, but they know how to rock.
