Have you ever looked flipped through your record collection/iTunes playlist/music device and sighed and shaken your head and chosen to sit in silence because there’s nothing you want to listen to and you know that if you play your favourite record/s just one more time this week then you won’t want to listen to it ever again? Have you ever done that? I have, approximately 20+ times in the past 48 hours.
I need new music. I want to listen to what you’re listening to.

i’m done.
I love YACHT!
Dystopia is my jam
Believe it or not Samantha Ronson is an awesome singer/songwriter. I’ve been bootlegging her music from youtube for some time now. But she’s coming out with a whole album called “chasing the reds” in the near future…so look out.
HEARTSREVOLUTION 4EVER
seriously i love those guys
yes i know this feeling
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm88QAI8I5A
Zaz! she is french and cute and happy
Nice choice!
(yes, i’m saying that because she is french!)
Zaz is so boss, she makes me smile.
Right now I’m in love with national music. So I mostly listen venezuelan bands like Rawayana, Americania, Los Mesoneros, Viniloversus and La Vida Bohéme…
And, english..Mmmm, Yuksek, Clare Maguire, Chester French, Bloodhound Gang, and my dearest Liverpool dudes. The Beatles
[duplicate comment]
Rawayana http://youtu.be/pL_kc2aYqRk
Americania http://youtu.be/ovAYV7XzxIM
Los Mesoneros http://youtu.be/59q4nPP1AAY
Viniloversus http://youtu.be/ddZnOvO264o
La Vida Bohéme http://youtu.be/F9gb9SsO_O8
+ Skin http://youtu.be/Yvr4VxyxCs4
Ohhhhhhhh ! Russian Red. She’s like the Spanish Feist, who sings in English, so… 1) super cute accent 2) super catchy pop ditties and yes she is also stunningly super duper cute herself! Win win win. I’d say listen to cigarettes first
I am mostly listening to Empires (www.weareempires.com) right now. You can listen to the whole of their album here – http://www.weareempires.com/music/
I’m so pleased to see someone mention Empires! :D I love them so much.
I want the new album so badly! Also, I want them to come to the UK so I can actually see them live. I’m not going to win on that last one I don’t think.
YES, I totally love Empires!
I’m ALL over the place!
I’m loving the new Kittie singles (“Empires (Part 2)” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYXFQ5y4iG4). I’ve rediscovered The Bird and The Bee (“Polite Dance Song” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhDVSiidt_4). The new Evanescence single sounds promising (“What You Want” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoJpLruXMq4) And Dan Mangan’s new single is very sweet (“Oh Fortune” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lHC2taJn5k)
The Bird and the Bee never fail to cure a shitty day.
Agreed, <3 The Bird and the Bee.
I had no idea Kittie were still a band. i loved them so hard in high school.
Here’s some of my favorites at the moment:
Basia Bulat, Club 8, Austra, Toro Y Moi, Electrelane, Grouper, French Horn Rebellion, The Ruby Suns, Pepper Rabbit
And I promise you will like this (homosexy) video. It’s Alien Observer by Grouper.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gckfokc1h8
ELECTRELANE!
No Shouts No Calls is a perfect album.
Basia Bulat! seconded!! :-)
holy shit i love grouper asmhfdksg
especially heavy water/i’d rather be sleeping
word. I also really like “hold”
Electrelane is so good!
I Want To Be President: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU98waJCXDs
My summer has consisted almost entirely of The Magnetic Fields, Sufjan Stevens, and St. Vincent (who’s dropping a new album pretty soon).
And then on course, there’s Andrew Bird and Wilco, who just never get old to me.
But I just started listening to a guy called Jim O’Rourke who quite talented. Really big on minimalism, if any one’s into that kind of stuff.
lovely taste you have!
Recently Ellie Goulding and Holy Ghost!, but always The Weepies
yes, the Weepies!! other than the friend who introduced me to their music you’re the first person I’ve found who listens to them! Not Your Year totally got me through last winter and my situational depression.
Love Ellie Goulding! Did you hear this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8zGOTwnBNU. Addictive.
THE WEEPIES!!!! seeing them live next week and just about to shit my pants.
I am SO jealous!
Yes, always always always the Weepies. I’ve been wanting to see them live forever, and now they’re finally coming here (DC) and it happens to be the week that I’M OUT OF THE COUNTRY. I’m not complaining about being out of the country but… yeah. You understand.
Yay for The Weepies! Every time I make a mix or playlist one of their songs ends up on there.
My friends were just here for a visit and deposited a lot of new music on me so I have a lot of feelings about this right now. There are two intensely creepy and good songs by Timber Timbre:
Bad Ritual: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJU4k1Lrhh0
Lonesome Hunter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R-Ikfyh-6Q
The Horrors’ new album (Skying) is pretty great, I like this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJQk0jDZx8o
“Tin Man” by Future Islands is like if Tom Waits had a baby with the Arcade Fire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GhtZt2HYkM
and this thing by Danger Mouse/Daniele Luppi has Jack White on vocals and I’m still sad about the White Stripes calling it quits so I’ll listen to anything with him in it. Also it’s legitimately good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UibsjY5K-c
Future Islands! It’s sad that I live in baltimore but still haven’t been to a show…
future islands = awesome!
<3 Sparkadia <3
Yes. I’ve had the “Mary” intro stuck in my head ever since you left this comment.
Also, get on Fucked Up’s ‘David Comes To Life’ if you haven’t yet. Ughhhh so good. It’s like a half-naked, sweaty drunk hug for your ears.
Just got this. So. Good.

Hot Chip – The Warning
Whoops, clicked too soon. What I meant to say before was at the moment, I’m listening to Danger Mouse’s ‘Grey Album’ over and over because of my dissertation, but in terms of recreational listening, diggin’ on Admiral Fallow (FFO Frightened Rabbit, Aztec Camera, etc.), AgesandAges, Dillon Francis, tUnE-yArDs like everyone else that works here and Sly and the Family Stone all the time forever and ever. Also that one Empire of the Sun single that I can’t get out of my head ever. Also, that one track where Kanye and Jay-Z sample Otis Redding. Mostly because that beat is just I can’t even.
Also also also that version of ‘Immigrant Song’ by Karen O and Trent Reznor that’s in the U.S. ‘Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ trailer. Surprisingly wonderful.
i am not going to lie to you: while writing my spanish final this past june i listened to ‘judas’ on repeat probably over twenty five times.
so, obsessive listening to the end of getting a piece of schoolwork done? been there. i hope, however, that your dissertation is actually related to danger mouse, and that your obsessive(?) listening therein is more productive than mine.
Mumford and Sons and I never get sick of Wilco
MUMFORD AND SONS..also, The Tallest Man on Earth, Laura Marling,Modest Mouse -The Lonesome Crowded West, Massive Attack, and I am completely addicted to PORTISHEAD.
With all the Laura Marling, I’m surprised that Johnny Flynn hasn’t been mentioned, especially since they sing so well together.
Johnny Flynn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzknjC-DJt0
Both: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdDIWQ-dG1E
Also, Yelle. Like crazy.

Going to see anna calvi next week :D
Colbie Caillat, The Corrs, the RENT soundtrack, Glee, Pink, Bon Jovi and other classic rock have been on repeat on my itunes.
Fuck yeah The Corrs! Wasn’t expecting to see them in any of these comments haha, my friend and I joke that if they have another tour we’ll be the only ones in the audience.
rome?
kurt vile
ted leo’s shake the sheets
also i don’t know how much you like classical but lately i’ve been obsessed with this track in particular, anne sofie von otter singing mahler’s ich bin der welt abhanden gekommen
Mahler is the shit. Carry on.
Also, Anne Sofie von Otter did a really lovely (if heartbreaking) compilation of works by composers who were killed in the Holocaust:
And w/r/t Mahler’s vocal music, I really like Kindertotenlieder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1tFs0c8XMM
i actually didn’t realise until very recently that songs of a wayfarer overlapped so significantly with mahler 1.
if it wasn’t clear enough already i’m a pretty big von otter fan, i’m still working through her handel and lieder in general, haven’t quite got to theresienstadt yet but i’m sure i will
I’ve been listening to mostly mellow music lately with lots of guitars/string instruments and drums (best description I have). Namely:
Danielle Ate The Sandwich (ukulele player) http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/danielle-ate-the-sandwich/id305980421
Forest City Lovers http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/forest-city-lovers/id251615229
Nicole Reynolds http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/nicole-reynolds/id199838423
Chris Pureka http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/chris-pureka/id15900794
Thao Nguyen http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/thao/id270886385
Yup.
Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Townes VanZandt: http://youtu.be/zaP8NGML_QE, Jose Gonzalez: http://youtu.be/TZfxBwNjfC4, and Sun Kil Moon: http://youtu.be/AKRA7weVyLs
Some young local(ish) bands to me that I go see and/or listen to on the regular are:
Witches(Female fronted growly postpunk from Athens GA): http://www.myspace.com/witchestheband
The State Of(All girl power pop duo from Miami FL): http://www.thestateofmusic.com/
Towers of Hanoi(Another female fronted sexy post punk group from Gainesville FL): http://www.myspace.com/towersofhanoi (listen to “I just ate my only friend” first)
OK, I could probably go on for awhile but I’ll stop here for now. If anyone wants more underground southeastern fare just let me know!
*Cori
Have you heard of The Moaners? They’re a female duo, kinda punk-influenced. Their music makes me imagine if Flannery O’Connor was a kickass drummer and Eudora Welty was her chainsmoking guitarist and you got drunk and high with them out on your porch one summer night.
Sounds awesome.
Also also, Amazombies, Vivian Girls, Screaming Females…
that description was the best.
Rubyfruit Radio is a podcast/website that has tons of great music all by female artists and female fronted bands. I’ve heard of a ton of great things from this show (rubyfruitradio.com).
Things I’ve learned about from there or am listening to a lot lately are
tune-yards
hank and cupcakes
lykke li
sarah jaffe
lissie
i blame coco
hunter valentine (omg. hot hot hot)
grimes
cocknbullkid
The Jezabels
I can’t wait to get my hands on their new album.
Omg I know I can’t wait I have purchased a pre sale copy….awaiting its arrival in my letter box any day now.
But tonight my best friend and I have been driving around the streets of Brisbane shameless singing at the top of our crap voices Sisters of Mercy-This Corrosion….Oh Patricia.
Chris Von Sneidern. He writes/produces everything himself, and it’s absolutely amazing if you are into 60s-70s era power pop. I listen to him (and Tegan and Sara, I’ll admit) ALL THE TIME.
Muse
Cake
Modest Mouse
Dude, love Cake’s new album!
I know right! They’re awesomesaucical.
Awesomesaucical! Ha what a great word!
– Selah Sue
She’s this incredibly talented Belgian singer-songwriter. Her music is reggae/ragga-infuenced and is the best summer music ever.
– Peggy Lee
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VscVP_Gt_s&feature=related
This amazing singer from the fifties/sixties.
This is weird. I wanted to post this totally innocent thing about how rad Selah Sue and Peggy Lee are, and my ‘comment is awaiting moderation’? I didn’t even know that Autostraddle did that at all?
that happened to me once but it was because i had a ton of links in my post.
Yeah, it’s because of the links. There were many comments waiting for moderation – not just yours, Paloma. Sorry it took so long.
Sorry if I sounded annoyed up there. Didn’t mean to: I could’ve frased a bit nicer. I was just confused, I guess. Oh well. Sorry ’bout that.
Moral is, Selah Sue and Peggy Lee are rad. Yay !
Azari & III (Disco)
Tokimonsta (Electronica / hip hop)
Jonny McGovern – Sexy Nerd (Gay)
**** MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS!!! **** If you haven’t heard of her you must check her out. Not only is she a hottie but down to earth. Just watch one of her interviews on youtube and you’ll be smitten. Great songs to check out are..well, all of them..but most notably: Shampaign, Oh No!, Satisfied and Hollywood
I Am Not a Robot is great too. Weirdly it became my post-breakup song
awesome remix of the song :)
YESSS. I completely and whole heartedly second this! Her voice is also absolutely gorgeous. Just listen to this acoustic version of Hollywood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JHINokmH6w
Like like like! She’s incredible live, too, if anyone has the oppurtunity to see her definitely go! :)
Stacey Randol is a girl I went to college with, she is a blast! And an amazing person and she just put her first album out and I cannot stop listening to it! Her voice is so creamy and wonderful! I highly recommend her!!

Dom Kennedy: http://www.dopeitsdom.com/
That Gil-Scott / Jamie xx collab is phenomenal. +1 to that.
Abney Park and Tom Lehrer.
Oh, so many yays for someone else who listens to Tom Lehrer.
Tom Lehrer circa 1967 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TytGOeiW0aE) is the only man I would consider marrying. I love him so much.
Ooh! Oooh! Has anyone said Star Anna and the Laughing Dogs?
They are a band from a small town in Washington, and I’ve seen them live twice, in very small venues. Now, suddenly, they’re skyrocketing to fame after Mike McCready from PEARL JAM (WOOT!) decided to take them under his wing. The whole band is so impressed with Star Anna that they put them on their PJ20 (20th anniversary of Ten…yeah, I’m old, what of it) weekend celebration.
Also, she’s slightly lesbionic if you ask me. I’m jus sayin.
I saw Robyn on June 3rd and literally haven’t been able to listen to anything else since.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Robynmusic?ob=5
I love Robyn!

For the conscious hip-hop lovers out there, I’ve been listening to the Narcicyst, Omar Offendum and Lowkey nonstop.
Arab hip hop REPRESENT.
–James Blake, “The Wilhelm Scream” or any other songs of his: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVgEaDemxjc

He has some of the most lush and intoxicating music I’ve heard in awhile!
Recently discovered The Joy Formidable out of England. They made some noise with their appearance at Lollapalooza and with good reason.
Alt rock with a female lead.
Love them…Whirring and A Heavy Abacus are my faves
Whirring is brill!
Cannot stop listening to this song!! Even though it makes me randomly start crying. http://youtu.be/a2BUEzdjfpY
Please please please check out the band Walk the Moon. They play fun happy poppy catchy music and they need to have way more fans than they do. Check out the video for their song “Anna Sun”. Warning, you will become obsessed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW7f54tVRmQ
And I’m boring, I’ve been listening to Arcade Fire, The Beatles and Oasis pretty much exclusively for the last 3 weeks. Also, the Black Eyed Peas.
YES WALK THE MOON!!!! They are awesome. I saw them at the Sweetlife Festival this year. I’ve gotten all of my friends obsessed with Anna Sun, but the rest of their album is just as good. They are going to be huge one day.
I have been listening to that song on repeat all afternoon. Totally getting the album! :D
I’ve been pretty obsessed with Lady Lamb the Beekeeper as of late:
Laura Marling of course:
And this little diddy:
Now, Now [Every Children] has become my new favorite band.
Also, An Horse.
Bon Iver’s new album is pure magic.
Kaki King.
Yum. <3
The latest Bon Iver album gave me Corinne Bailey Rae vibes. Completely different generes of music, but have you ever listened to her music? It’s beautiful, but she whispers all the way through and its lulling… The I go to sleep. I was on a mini 2-hour road trip and it was raining and was 1:30 AM and Bon Iver’s Wisconsin dream almost landed me in a ditch. Lol I couldn’t stay up! But it is magical.
I just needed to blast some hoodrat music to keep me alert, so I put on my Latarian Milton mixtape http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcqOgnQyXp4
the new bon iver is so good!
this^
It’s quite nice to listen to Perth when you’re about to land there :)
I could honestly sit here listing bands all day however im going to narrow it down to a few:
If you like smashing pumpkins then silversun pickups are likely to get the seal of approval too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqZHIQp0ok0
The distillers, hell yes not to mention i’m a little bit in love with Brody dalle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upv431GMMvg
Lady antebellum, for those into country pop (it’s nothing to be ashamed of, we’re all friends here): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaOKbvpxnTo&feature=relmfu
Bloc party, all day. every day.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUGTMWfQwKY&feature=fvst
City and colour, awesome acoustic music from Dallas green of Alexisonfire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaYecSQlT84
Less than Jake, ska-punk and featured on the digimon soundtrack which I think is reason enough in itself to give it a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYIx0sFNDH4
Three days grace, alternative metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYIx0sFNDH4
Yellowcard, pop-punk and a song that always puts me in a good mood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9fLbfzCqWw
http://open.spotify.com/user/hungrydyke/playlist/0ld3eXxci7Y3MwalHlR6Kk Summer 2011
PLUS:
*Foster the People
*Kanye/Jay-Z “Watch the Throne”
Lately I’ve really been into K-pop. Listening is like a flash back to Boy Bands/Girl bands(?) but with a more contemporary R&B feel, plus the girls are cute!
My favorite groups are After School (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfOzWdicRq0) and SNSD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mPqycQ0tQ)
I’m getting into KPop too! I’m addicted to 2NE1 and f(x) in particular.
And Amber from f(x)? Amber is gay. She’s gay. If she’d stayed in the US, she’d be calling herself Ace and wearing a wallet chain and a wife beater every day like half of the baby butches in the entire country.
Jonsi!! He is Sigur Rios frontman going solo, and he is gay and his album is so good!
Wow I definitely didn’t realize he went solo! Currently downloading Go on iTunes. I’ve been on an Icelandic post-rock kick lately…lots of Sigur Ros and Amiina

Also, EDDIE VEDDER. Ukulele Songs is really gorgeous.
Natalia Kills. She is super hot and her music is addicting. And no one in america knows who she is except me it seems.
Sophie Hunger!! I’m coming out of my year-old lurk-dom just to gush about her, that’s how awesome she is! She’s a swiss artist who sings in English/French/German/Swiss German and is basically fucking amazing. Seriously. In Switzerland she’s quite popular but, as it is with stuff that comes from Switzerland, she’s not really internationally known. Should be though, because again, fucking amazing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cob10vdCP6E&feature=related
I’m listening to walzer für niemand on repeat, thank you for the tip! Trying to find any of her songs in swiss german now, because I love swiss german the best:)
try this one!
i’ve been listening to a lot of radiohead lately, also have you ever heard of chairlift? they wrote a song called ‘bruises’ which is apparently really popular, but the rest of the album is really good too, it’s called ‘does you inspire you’ and I THINK YOU WOULD LIKE IT CRYSTAL
Holy shit I forgot about Chairlift! They’re great and so is “Bruises.”
EMILY YOU ARE RIGHT. Chairlift’s album is downloading right now, thank you.

I’m kind of a crazy music person (read: music major who instead of turning my nose up at non-classical music, accepts it with open arms)… and I can offer more suggestions if need be. ;)
ahhh…except “hardcore” just brings to mind a bunch of mindless karate-esque dance moves on the dance floor! haha…all good rock/metal bands there for sure ;) i’m really looking forward to hearing a sampling of what’s to come from lacuna coil’s new album in november.
Fair enough. I just get so many weird looks for talking about “symphonic metal” which would’ve been my title of choice. I am also looking forward to the new album. :)
Ohhh, well then yeah that totally makes sense then :)
I really love all the directions those bands have been taking lately…except for Leaves’ Eyes – only bc I don’t know their music all that well. Another symphonic metal band that I listen to quite often is Epica…SOOOO good!
Yay for a fellow metalhead on AS!! :D
Also looking forward to new lacuna coil.
Can’t stop listening to Active Child (his new album is going to be SO good) and How to Dress Well (his orchestral EP Just Once makes me float)
Yes! How to dress well makes the world a better place!

and Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s.
and Tune-Yards, thanks to Autostraddle.
And Beirut
Evanescence’s new single <3
Best queer band I know. Girlyman. They are an awesome queer, folk harmony band. My favorite song is Young James Dean.
Just gave this a listen and LOVE it
^THIS.
I just recently discovered Loretta Lynn’s album where she collaborated with Jack White, Van Lear Rose. I’m not normally a country music fan, but this is all kinds of awesome:
Also, The Bran Flakes. Seriously, click these links:
Kimbra. My friend just introduced me to her recently and I can’t stop listening.
It’s not new but Robyn, OMG! I love everything she does.
Of late:

Love the Thermals! And Otis Redding! And Johnny Cash! Will have to look into the rest of these people.
1. Talking Heads will always be the shit.
2. Okervill River. Yes.
Talking Heads is one of my top five favorite bands ever.
By the way, I don’t know much of a Heads fan you are but any Talking Heads fan who has not yet heard Stop Making Sense, stop what you’re doing and listen:

(Let it be known that this is the second time in a month that I have freaked out about Ace of Base on Autostraddle.)
I love Regina Spektor and Imogen Heap!
f(x) is so freaking gay. I can’t even…
i recently listen a lot to
The Naked And Famous
Thao and Mirah
and
The Kills
its really great stuff!
I just really like that one Thao and Mirah song about love, but the rest of the album I could honestly do without. I like the stuff with the get down stay down better. But then I generally believe musician’s do the worst work when they are happy and in love so, maybe it’s just me.

GOOD LORD. I just posted those two top ones. Alynda Lee is my biggest crush. I met her in New Orleans during a wedding after party once. I had to pretend I didn’t know who she was.
Nona Marie Invie (Dark Dark Dark) is so awkward it’s irresistible. Also check out the singer for Y La Bamba! Totally crush-worthy. Jealous you got to meet Alynda Lee!
Yes yes, I’ve seen a few videos of Nona. She a babe for sure. Hmm, I’ll have to look up the other. You should also check out Emily Jane White and Alela Diane. They’re gorge and they’ve got that mournful female folk tone that’s oh so lovely.
Yes! I agree with both! I see your Alela and Emily and raise you Sharon Van Etten, Wildbirds & Peacedrums and Grass Widow.
You’re just too fantastic. friends in real life?

i can’t get rolling in the deep out of my head
ikr, it’s a good song to play on repeat
I’ve had it stuck in my head ever since my BGF first introduced me to the song several months ago. It just pops in and out at random times.
the villa remix is good for when you actually just can’t listen to the original anymore.
i can’t listen to rolling in the deep one more time, i love Adele but i just can’t.
omg co-signed.
John Legend has a pretty good a cappella cover of it too if you’ve grown weary of the original.
William Elliott Whitmore (new album!)
Jolie Holland (“Black Stars” gets me every time)
Bonnie “Prince” Billy
The Raincoats
Roscoe Holcomb (“I am a man of constant sorrow”)
Sleater-Kinney (Whaaaat?!? So good.)
Ximena Sarinana (“Mediocre” is a fave)

…and basically anything and everything Kathleen Hanna.
I would also like to represent the S-K. And the KH. Also, Jolie. Nice picks!
City and Colour’s new album “Little Hell” love it! Northern Wind and Oh Sister are tight.

I get a lot of my new music via song of the day podcasts off iTunes. I recommend KEXP’s, The Current’s, & KCRW’s.
I also do this thing where I pick up an album or band a few months/years after they are super popular. Seems to be the way I combat getting a case of POS or POA (played out song/album) because I am not saturated with the music everywhere I turn.
My tops at the moment
City & Colour (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er5BJuO0KEo)
Bon Iver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofLN12NKkb8)
Fences (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_V8kyaG_-M)

Remix Artist Collective (http://remixartistcollective.com/) I especially adore the Surfer Blood remix at the moment
Melissa Ferrick
Calabria Foti
the soundtracks for Sweet Charity and Company
Brahms
Waka Waka – shakira
E.T. – katy perry
Ramalama – rosin murphy
Night of the dancing flame – rosin murphy
Dead inside – Skillet
LOTS!
– The Belle Brigade: current obsession, they’re siblings, Barbara toured as a drummer with Jenny Lewis and their granddad is John Williams!
– Wye Oak: met them in Paris and they’re lovely! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2guLl6Hmwo
– The Naked and Famous: been listening to them non-stop since last Autumn
– Portishead: Just saw them two weeks ago live for the first time ever, was a long time coming and was epic!
– Bjork: Just saw her Biophilia show in Manchester a couple of weeks ago, she’s back to awesome old school Bjork!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZhkfwrxNOc
– Friendly Fires: Dance party awesomeness, saw them a couple of months ago and counting down the days til I see them in Nov. Love the new album!
– Land of Talk
– Miike Snow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RGAPWxTe5g
and the usuals Adele, Sia, Regina, Warpaint, Feist, Stars, BSS etc….
the song An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail by Lovers is great
in fact their entire album Darklight is really great (the linked song is not on it)
and the song Winter Takes a Lover by Lovers has the best line: “So I lay in my room and I dream of the colours that make water move and a body discover why so many choose to lay with a lover”
Though I’m truly in love with Athens Boys Choir.
According to my ipod, I’ve had the following people on repeat:
Drake
Incubus
Innerpartysystem
Linkin Park
Lupe Fiasco
Nas And Damian Marley
Oasis
A Perfect Circle
Pitbull
Sade
Sarah McLachlan
Wisin y Yandel
Wiz Khalifa
Enjoy :)
What Incubus record? I’ve been listening to S.C.I.E.N.C.E (Incubus) on a daily basis, it’s one of those albums that I need to stop playing or else I’ll never want to play it again.
If not now, when?
Make yourself
I totally ditto your feelings about SCIENCE, lol
This thread is lacking in Canadian Content. Good thing that’s pretty much all I listen to:

Sam Roberts Band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsnvzzA5UrI
The New Pornographers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KZANuDcRO4
Oh, and this little band called Tegan and Sara, you may have heard of them before.
speaking of Canadians, right now I’m playing Our Lady Peace’s “Clumsy” and it’s hitting the spot.
Yes! And I think I will add Zeus, The Arkells, Beast and Jason Collett to the Canadian mix.
holy shit mother mother. eureka is the best thing to happen to my ears since i stopped singing without background noise.
additionally: interpol, hard-fi, the strokes, arcade fire.
I’d recommend: simple plan (alternative rock/punk) anything by them is great as long as it doesn’t “feature” another artist. you may recognize their singles “perfect” or “welcome to my life”
the moody blues (’60’s-’80’s rock) I only know the songs from “the best of the moody blues” album. top singles from them would be “the voice” “I’m just a singer ( in a rock n roll band)” “gemini dream”
paramore (alternative) new single “monster” is awesome
any disney songs or movie/musical soundtracks
dionysos (french band) im pretty sure their music was inspired by tim burton movies. “le jour le plus froid du monde” reminds me of “edward scissor hands”
“tais-toi mon coeur” is my favorite of theirs.
O-Zone (romania band) “dragostea din tei” trust me you will recognize it when you hear it
Come on, give a little love to LoneLady.

WHY DO I ALWAYS MISS THE OPEN THREADS?!
I’ve been listening to tUnE-yArDs, some Supremes, Beirut, the Civil Wars, some classic rap/hip-hop, Sleater-Kinney, Sleigh Bells (always), Eleanor Friedberger, Gossip, and Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours,” which has been on constant repeat on my iPod since I discovered what an awesome song “Gold Dust Woman” is.
the Joy Formidable. And the lead singer is gorgeous!
Also The Kills .. with another badass female vocalist.
You reminded me that I have the new joy formidables album buried at the bottom of a cardboard box somewhere (moving house) and i haven’t played it yet. thank you, i will find it and listen.
REPTAR.

“I got the swag, and it’s pumping out my ovaries”
best line ever
yes yes YES to air france, neon indian, and best coast.
Not new but when you want a change from mellow alternative (Ingrid Michealson, Norah Jones, Priscilla Ahn), be a theater geek and listen to the BEST MOST HEART-WRENCHING MUSICAL EVER: LES MISERABLES. See how excited they were for the anniversary?- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srRL_7unz9A We should be too.
Wait, sorry this link is so much more legit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsEeFnB1W6Y&feature=related
I’ve been listening to Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, the original version for piano, since I’m currently in the process of arranging it for wind ensemble. If you’ve only ever heard Ravel’s orchestral version of it, it’s definitely worth a listen:
(The uploader has all the other movements on their page, and they’re linked in the sidebar.)
This thread is overwhelming, like it’s gonna take me months to listen to everything (and I want to)
here’s my contribution:
Dessa (she’s a part of the Doomtree collective which was mentioned above). There’s something so wonderfully queer about this song/music video:
also
Umphrey’s McGee
Their music is hard to categorize, other than awesome!
Greensky Bluegrass (this vid’s from Halloween which is why they’re all in costumes)
Other than that this summer I’ve been listening to a lot of the Autostraddle playlists, they helped me discover Modest Mouse and Passion Pit who are fab.
YES to Dessa and “Dixon’s Girl”! I love that song. :)
This is timed perfectly, I’ve been in dire need of new music lately
I’ve gotten really into Matt and Kim all over again, that band brings back awesome memories for me! I had a friend who’s dad manages them and one night when I was at her place I got to hear a bunch of tracks from Sidewalks before they were released to the public.
Dear and the Headlights
Lemuria
The Tontons (I am seeing them tonight. Hooray!)
The Hush Sound
Janelle Monae
The Black Ghosts
Oh! So many good ones already mentioned (Wye Oak, anything Thao Nguyen-related, YACHT, basically everything else), but I have to add:
Those Darlins http://youtu.be/M0oZ38g_P7U and http://youtu.be/5-LP8qmsQFc

WINTER IN ALASKA. That is all. He is amazing, and quite obscure, and it is so relaxing. This music is for all of my feelings.

Sara Watkins, not just because she is insanely cute. – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOVmO4nh-Rw&feature=related
If I’m being absolutely honest, my friend introduced me to New Beat, which is this late eighties early nineties genre of bad bad bad dance music which is like… industrial meets 90s house. Soo, my playlist has been full of gems like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Hu9EdvMYg (this is a hilarious video)
Other than that, been playing the new Gang Gang Dance, Austra and tune-yards endlessly.
Totes linked the wrong video! It’s about Rachel Maddow anyway, so y’all should watch that.
Meant to link Tragic Error – Tanzen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txq736EVa80
AND HOW COULD I FORGET:
T & The Wonder
fantastic dream pop/baroque rock band Im just getting into.
They recently released a new EP which is free to download and their debut (and only) album is free to download for this month… so get on this shit ASAP.
aaanddd I forgot the link

Today i’m listening to a lot of green day and deftones. it’s like 1998 in here.
Has anyone heard Theophilus London’s new album, ‘Timez Are Weird These Days’? I didn’t think I’d dig it but I kinda did, it’s a decent jam. except for track 8. also it has vocals by sara quin and holly miranda, which is nice.
I picked up the Timez album. It’s growing on my everyday.
My summer would not be complete without a heavy rotation of Lucero. (The Southern punk-influenced rockabilly band, not the Latina actress/singer.) They just write such awesome lyrics of drunken grit and heart, like this:
“life is short, in spite of your plans
so tell the girls they’re pretty while you can
’cause one day they’re gone
and all you got left
some empty bottles and an old country song”

I can’t stop listening to this Bayou Percussion version of Florence + The Machine’s Girl With One Eye:
I can’t really recommend any “new” music since I’m usually the last to know about any great new artists, but here’s a sampling of what I’ve been listening to lately:
Neko Case — Prison Girls
Imogen Heap — Speeding Cars
Margot & The Nuclear So and So’s — Skeleton Key
Iron & Wine — The Devil Never Sleeps
The Softies — The Best Days
Mika — Grace Kelly

And in the same breath: Aisler’s Set, Go Sailor, Tiger Trap, All Girl Summer Fun Band, Marine Girls, Heavenly, Beat Happening, Halo Benders, Built To Spill, Vaselines.

Getting really into Lykke Li.

Murs (murs for president), eyedea and abilities (haymaker), atmosphere (lucy ford), drake (thank me later)
Some pretty good bands up here. Crazy that nobody has mentioned the Jezabels, my favourite Australian band. Especially their EP Dark Storm. Hurt me is such a good song! They are really wonderful musicians, too.
Loving Jamie Woon, Austra, Kings of Convenience (and the Whitest Boy Alive), Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Jonathan Jeremiah at the moment.
Kaki King has become my sort of all-time favourite. Especially her instrumental songs are really great, and she has such funny song titles sometimes.
Also, some movie soundtracks (500 days of summer, Anyway the Wind Blows (Belgian movie) and sometimes Chicken Run, but that can be annoying :) ).
so many amazing picks here!
i have been non-stop rocking old school fugees this summer, but also girl talk, tune-yards, yacht (psychic city is my jam!), sarah harmer, neon indian, and joni mitchell.

I just have to mention the very talented singer September, a gorgeous chick with super cool icy blond hair. She’s from sweden but does most songs in english so you guys can understand :P
She sports an alternative haircut which has become rather popular… Otherwise i would have it right now ^^
Nice pic of her:

Interesting futuristic/ 80s inspired video with her in a spandex / cat suit: …. ^^
Children’s song about a teddy bear named Fredriksson: <3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3X5n8Q5oPA
recommending music is possibly one of my favourite things, even if no-one likes what i suggest… they’re just not listening right haha here’s a few that i’ve been listening to lately:
abbe may (just released a newbie… here’s a rather enjoyable video, even if her music isn’t your thing :P) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iaJgX5scSQ

lia ices (a collab with justin vernon [bon iver] >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyMTeEtctkk)
I came here to say Abbe May, and also Gotye’s new one which has been on pretty much constant repeat in my house for the last few weeks.
Band: We are Trees
“Girlfriend” http://goo.gl/RsbJJ
“Final Round” http://goo.gl/hjkxw
If there is some sort of formula to optimize the distribution of mellow lyrics and calm instrumentation in order to maintain the oh-so-elusive balance of loftiness in a stretch of 2 to 4 minutes, this band has found it!
The best thing I have heard this summer:
Light Asylum: http://vimeo.com/18846203
Los Campesinos! – youtube.com/watch?v=N6booM03nKI

Ow, I love the video of Gotye’s new single. You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY. In fact, I love his music/clips in general.
the sounds of my summer ’11 are: ducktails, atlas sound, braids, born ruffians, fleet foxes (loving their new album), high places, akron/family, etc.
i’ve always loved caribou’s swim but lately i’ve really been getting into andorra.
also, my dream girl listens to as much animal collective as i do, which is probably an unhealthy amount.

Jump, Little Children is my favorite band of all time. I saw them like 6 times before they stopped touring. You can hear samples of a bunch of their stuff here: http://www.last.fm/music/Jump,+Little+Children and there’s also some full length stuff on youtube.
Also, if you really want to smile, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OczRpuGKTfY&ob=av2n
Also, Psapp. The song “Hi” in particular.
Kings of Convenience are cool….I particularly like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOxE7IRizjI&NR=1
