How many different groups are out there recording and releasing music? Seems like an endless supply of new bands to listen to. Though there are several on this list who are not fresh sounds to my ears.
- The Young Veins - Change
- Parquet Courts - Mardi Gras Beads
- The Decembrists - Starwatcher
- Florence & The Machine - What Kind of Man …. There's a note or two or a tone buried deep in this song and in the singer's voice that sounds like something once heard in a mid to late 1970's Fleetwood Mac recording. I was listening though not very intently when it suddenly struck me.
- Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band - Big Black Nothing
- Nirvana - About a Girl …. Never did get into the whole Nirvana thing. Though I did become a fan of Pearl Jam.
- St. Vincent - Hang On Me …. Conjuring up memories from youth while attending eight years of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic school.
- Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon …. You hear stuff! Or sometimes it just strikes you! Maybe I'm hearing things but there's something in the vocals that reminds of Bono from U2.
- Frightened Rabbit - Scottish Winds
- Broken Bells - Vaporize
- Garbage - Milk …. A songs going along and after a minute you feel like you can predict where it will go next and then some odd, unpredictable chord change happens that doesn't sound so pleasant to your ears, or like it belongs. But it must have sounded necessary to the songwriter who apparently didn't want to sound predictable.
- J. Mascis - See You at the Movies *****
- Saintseneca - Ladder to the Sun *****
- Wilco - Via Chicago
- The Weakerthans - Aside …. All these tunes helping me get through another long night at work.
OK a couple more. No such thing as too much music.
- The Walkmen - Louisiana
- Rostam - In a River
