need some music, sick of the same old thing

[hitsofsunshine]

New time in my life, need new music.

Any suggestions? I'm going to buy myself a new cd soon, but I don't have anything specific in mind. What are you guys listening to right now that's particularly awesome? Oh, and I don't care if it's new or old, as long as it's new to me.

are you familiar with rufus wainwright? he's awesome.

i just ordered wilco and badly drawn boy. i'll let you know what i think. they should come in this week sometime.

who else? jeff buckley, the flaming lips, nick drake, elliott smith (though he can be depressing). mike sport murphy is really good but not very well known. but i'd definitely check out rufus. any of his albums are great, but i think my favorite is poses. want two is really good too. hell, they all are.

I <3 The Flaming Lips. I've actually been listening to them a lot lately.

I've definitely heard of Rufus Wainwright, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, and Elliott Smith, but I've never listened to any of them.

I looked up Badly Drawn Boy and he sounds pretty interesting.

i used to be totally obsessed with elliott smith.

badly drawn boy is definitely pretty good.

nick drake is very sweet and touching. i like him.

don't know much about rufus or buckley, only heard a song or two for each, but i have liked what i heard.

wilco is always good. have you been into the shins?

[nakedart]

yeah, both the wilco and badly drawn boy CDs are good (a ghost is born and the hour of the bewilderbeast).

i second the vote for rufus!
