New Music
I'm on a quest for new music to soothe and/or rev up my poetic soul. My last download was Beth Orton from iTunes Essentials--phenomenal! My tastes are pretty eclectic but lately I've wanted to branch out into world music.
Last 12 songs in rotation on my iPod:
Being a Girl, Van Hunt
Sex Machine, James Brown
SexyBack, Justin Timberlake
Love Train, The O’Jays
Cannonball, The Breeders
FutureSex/LoveSounds, Justin Timberlake (Okay, I’m starting to see a theme here.)
I Should Get Up, Teddy Thompson
In Heaven, FatBoy Slim
Shock the Monkey, Peter Gabriel
Unbreakable, Alicia Keys
Bang and Blame, REM
True Love Part II, X
So, what are you listening to on your iPods and CD players (or 8-tracks, if that's how you roll)?

I have an honest question here: why does everyone seem to like that Timberlake song? Is it that everyone likes him, or his music? Or both? I really am curious; I'm surprised to see him mentioned so often. Have never listened to the song.
My current favorite is Blue October's "Into the Ocean." alternative. .... "I want to swim away but don't know how. sometimes it feels just like i'm falling in the ocean. ... let the rain of what i feel right now come down." it's kind of a song that affirms for me being in a funk. and i'm in a funk so it makes me feel not so very lonely. and that's a good thing if you like been there/done that type music.
other current stuff: dixie chicks "not ready to make nice"; linkin park "breaking the habit"; mary chapin carpenter has a fairly new album (always good stories there) ...
Irreplaceable, Beyonce
Say it Right, Nelly Furtado
Lose My Breath, Destiny's Child
Ain't No Other Man, Christina Aguilera
Fortress Around Your Heart, Sting (I have no idea why this makes the pep list)
And somehow, when I screech out the notes Beyonce hits with such ease I feel like a superstar. I think it's the lyrics: only in that song will I allow "in a minute" to be rhymed with "in a minute" and think it is really, really good.
ps: Angie: I love the JT album because he's a good singer, and if you like a nice beat, the whole album's pretty infectious that way. I'm a fan of the bonus single you only get if you download it from iTunes...
How cool is it that we are not just bound together by poetry and blogging, but music too!
Looking forward to downloading The Weepies, Amy Winehouse, the Offramos, Blue October, Tracy Grammer, among others.
Keep those suggestions comin'!
This weekend, I'll post my favorite live JT performance from YouTube--I think it will explain a lot.
