new music I like

[SL__72]

Ok, here is more:

Okkervil River - The Stage Names

I only started listing to this band a few months ago when I discovered their last CD, Black Sheep Boy, which was released in 2005. After listening to it a bunch and deciding I liked them, I realized that their next CD was coming out within a couple weeks. I would classify this music as indie/folk rock.


Stream the whole album from their myspace page:
Myspace - Okkervil River

Check out "Our Live Is Not A Movie Or Maybe" and "John Allyn Smith Sails" to get a good idea of what they are about. Maybe I like that second song more because I first learned about Smith my freshman year (at the University of Minnesota) when someone mention the crazy poet who jumped off the bridge I would walk over twice a day.

The National - Boxer



For those follow new music (specifically indie rock) you've definitely heard of this and most likely have it. If you haven't, check it out. Their lead singer, Matt Berninger, has a wonderful baritone and their music suits it perfectly.

Again, you can stream some of their music on their myspace page: MySpace - The National
Start with the first song off of this album, "New Empire."

They are playing at the Fine Line in Minneapolis tonight and I really really wanted to go but I thought I started flag football tonight, it is obv. canceled (thuderstorm + tornado watch!) and the show is hella sold out [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I got a lot of new music, but its mostly underground rap and mixtapes from mainstream rappers.

How new do you mean? The only really great album in 2007 so far IMO is:

After that, there has been some decent stuff but nothing great. At least in what I've heard.

Les Savy Fav - Let's Stay Friends

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this CD...the one before it, too. Great voice, great songwriter, and fun videos!

Feist is great.. The Reminder is vastly superior to Let it Die imo, though they're both good.

She also has a couple very good spots on the Kings of Convenience album "Riot on an empty street", which I enjoy very much

Agreed, I loooooove that Kings of Convenience album and I looooove her spots on it.

Little known fact for any KoC fans out there -- though KoC is very folky/iron&wine-ish, the lead singer is actually a techno DJ. look him up - erlend oye. Very strange to hear his voice on a club mix.

it's been a long time since i've been this obsessed with a new band:

Breathe Owl Breathe

Remember the first Iron & Wine album? Imagine if he had more money to spend and a couple more instruments, like a cello. oh, and sang about the woods more

it's one of those bands that grows on you...and grows on you...and grows on you
