Music, I Crave Music

I can't find anything on iTunes I want to listen to.



Please, don't reduce me to "Edith and Her Accordian Magic"


Recomendations will be gratefully received and followed.

  1. really?

    Well, I don't have any clue as to what you might like, but very much off the top of my head:

    I've been intrigued by Vashti Bunyan (a folk singer from the early 70s who's become the darling of some hipsters it seems) You'll either find her enchanting or laugh...or a little of both.
    As for new(er) stuff... (well, from there earlier 2000s) Zoot Woman is very new new wavish. And cute too. I love their first few cds.
    "Living in a Magazine"...their cover of Kraftwerk's "the Model"..."Grey Day"..anything but their newest cd is good. There's always LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, (cowbells!), Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (though a little of them goes a long way there).
    I've also been listening to a lot of Blossom Dearie...so good...from the 50's through the 70s I think she was...and an album by Paul Anka of covers....especially his cover of the Cure's "Love Cats."
    Oh, and lots and lots of disco!

    Paul Anka covered the Cure. What?

    As I said, thanks.
