this month in music, or my musical phases are very phasy

One of the benefits of Amazon and iTunes slowly but surely expanding their musical offerings is stumbling over stuff I never knew the name of, who it was by, or when I heard it, but still have on carefully preserved tapes from junior high and high school. I don't actually own anything that can play a tape--hilarity--but I can't make myself throw ( Read more... )

You're welcome! I always like posting about music because it usually gets other people to drag out their playlists and post recs and thoughts on what they're listening to, too, so it's win win!

Black Sheep by Metric, which was in Scott Pilgrim. Excellent song, excellent movie! Actually, nearly all the music in that movie was excellent.

I've been listening to the new Arcade Fire on a continuous loop since buying the album and seeing them in concert. "The Suburbs" is very...I'm scared this is akin to sacriledge, but I find it to be very first-album-from-The-Smiths. Try Ready to Start and Deep Blue. Also, have you seen this fanvid for the western Once Upon a Time in the West set to "My Body is a Cage"? The song is from AF's album Neon Bible and...God, I don't know. It's one of my faves, but it'll spoil the film if you ever plan on seeing it. It's totally worth a look and it's one of my fave fan-creations *ever*. It's a slow vid with a slow build and a slow story but, oh my god, I love it so much. I meant to rec it when you did the vid post a while back but stuff got in the way.

I've also been listening to a lot of Mumford & Sons. Little Lion Man is what's playing on the radio right now, but Awake My Soul and Dust Bowl Dance are my favourites.

*waves from the masses of random!friendings you've had* I love music posts. I tend to cook with the tv music channels on - the alternative station we have is pretty awesome at getting me into new bands.

I blame them totally for my obsession with The National. Well, that and Inception. Since I've made about ten different playlists to fics in my head from their songs alone. They're also one of the very few bands I've listened to where I've only unchecked, oh three, songs total off of all of their albums.

About Today, The National Is pretty much made of the win. I know their Bloodbuzz Ohio has gotten play on some of the radio stations near me. Bloodbuzz Ohio is the song that initially grabbed me and made me notice them. Then came Start a War and Slow Show and Secret Meeting

I blame the last two songs with my unfailing attachment to the Inception explosion going on. And all the Arthur and Eames silliness that's been running through my head. Alas.

Man, I'd forgotten how much I love Better than Ezra. Thanks for reminding me!

First, i need to tell you that my car has a *tape deck* (and a radio, that never gets tuned in) and i play tapes every single day, both new comps that i make in the old style, and comps that are 20+ years old. This makes me very happy. Driver picks the music... i also have not one but two 'boom box' type radios in my house with tape decks, and they get used often, as well. i am stubborn, and i love the tape format for so many reasons ( ... )
