What music have you listened to this weekend?

[mvd]

And what CDs are you looking forward to?

Just one CD from my collection:

Mindy Smith - One Moment More (highly recommended!)

Also heard samples from the Wallflowers, Sugarland and Sleater-Kinney, and was impressed enough to order all three of their latest albums.

I put Ready 2 Pop by Miss Mary on my Amazon Wish List after hearing her. She's kind of the indie Avril. Love both of them.

Heard stuff from The Wrights, and haven't formed a firm opinion yet.

As usual of late, Toby Keith's new CD didn't impress me. I heard it at AOL's music website.

Am looking forward to these CDs:

Marion Raven - Who I Am (definite M2M fan - especially on The Big Room. Shades Of Purple was a little too chirpy vocally)
Wreckers - TBD (date moved back - argh! Really anticipating.)
Brie Larson - Finally Out Of P.E. (she's young, but good music is good music at any age)
Coldplay - X&Y ("Speed Of Sound" is a good single.. but a little too much like "Clocks.")
Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
George Strait - Somewhere Down In Texas (he's always reliable)
Trick Pony - R.I.D.E.
Shakira - Fijacion Oral 1
White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
Fountains Of Wayne - Out-Of-State Plates
The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
Sheryl Crow (Title TBA)

Among some others supposed to be released in 2005..

1. The new Spoon, Sleater-Kinney, Troubled Hubble and Mike Doughty.

All quite good.

I'm waiting for the New Pornographers, too.

5. Glad to hear that about the SK

It shipped today from amazon.com. Hi, GOPisEvil! :hi:

How does the SK compare to all of their others in your opinion?

[GOPisEvil]

6. It's different.

Lots of distortion, fuzz, etc...but other than that, lots of aggression.

Not my favorite of theirs, but I do enjoy it.

9. I like SK aggression

"Modern Girl" sounds like an exception, but it's pretty. Thanks for your feedback. :hi:

2. Right now I'm listening to Joan Baez sing "Ave Maria" in German.

It is truly a moving piece of music. I have also been listening to the Indigo Girls, Queen, The Black Crowes, and Big Mama Thornton.

NIN: With Teeth
BRMC: Both albums
The Thrills: Let's Bottle Bohemia
Eli's Femur Bone: assorted
