My iPod Has Been Taken Over by David Tennant

Hmph. The snow storm is a dud around here. MAYBE we'll get 3 inches. I guess I shall have to remain envious of other people's snow. *ducks flying snowballs

I love the Fratellis! I saw them play live here in London. Great show!

[marissa_214]

I'd love to see them live! I'm jealous!

[artic_fox]

It was one of my aims in moving here - to be able to take advantage of all these great bands. I've not done a great job so far, but I really enjoyed their show :D

I've only listened to one song by them so far, but I liked it enough to want to hear more! It's weird but I've listened to very little music since Chicklet was born, so I need to figure what I like again.

mine as too but by Doctor Who episodes,Blackpool,Recovery,Secret Smile and youtube videos i converted onto my ipod :D

[chloris]

Heh. So far I just have the bedtime stories on the ipod (my daughter loves them) but I can see adding some more for those times when you need a fix aren't near your dvds.

It took me a while to warm up to The Fratellis, but now Chelsea Dagger is one of my favourite songs. I only have that one album (Costello Music) though. I haven't been brave enough to check out the rest of their catalog.

He's also into Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, and (of course) The Proclaimers, so that might be a good place to start. There's a new-ish band that he mentioned recently, but I don't remember their name.

If you're looking for new material, here are some other bands I like that I have found on my two year Quest for New Music, partially influenced by DT and Doctor Who Confidential:

- Turin Brakes
- Muse
- Doves
- Elbow
- Joseph Arthur (hit and miss)
- Death Cab for Cutie

Chelsea Dagger is the one that I heard! I quite liked it and need to listen to some more. Okay, this is weird, I just turned Pandora back on - I haven't listened since this afternoon so I'm up to about song 6 and it's Coldplay. Spooky. The thing is possessed.

I do already love Franz Ferdinand predating my Tennant fangirling. And the Proclaimers as well. Kaiser Chiefs I have to listen to. Maybe they'll be my next song. :D

Thanks for the list! I know Muse and Death Cab for Cutie, but not the rest.

I like some of Coldplay and Snow Patrol's stuff, though Coldplay's "Yellow" was way overplayed around here, and as such I still have an aversion to that album. Snow Patrol's "Final Straw" and "The Finish Line" are good; "Songs for Polar Bears" was not my thing.

'There's a new-ish band that he mentioned recently, but I don't remember their name.'

were you thinking of Mumford & Sons? I love their album.

You can have my freakin' snow. I'll mail it up to you. All 3+ feet from the past week.

Actually you know what we should send it to vancouver. So that way they can have it for the Olympics.

[chloris]

We'll be lucky if we get 3 inches. And that's the last snow for at least a week. *shakes head*

Poor Vancouver! They need it and they're not getting any. Is it even cold enough there to make snow? I hope?

[professorworm]

I confess I do enjoy that band. For some reason I get just a little bit too happy when he talks about loving a certain band or song that I'm really into. I know when he was on COC Breakfast Show and he picked Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars as his song of the decade, I had a bit of squee as it's one of my favorite songs.

I can second the Muse rec, they are awesome!

[chloris]

Ha! Song six on my Pandora was Chasing Cars! I have the same musical taste as David Tennant! (And you. *g*)

[professorworm]

WHOOT!

It was a bit scary listening to his radio gigs and there were times he was having to defend his choice of music and all I could think was, "I really like that song, leave him alone!"

Plus on Buzzcocks...I agree with him, Coldplay is really good.

[chloris]

Heh. He knows what he likes and he's not afraid to admit it!
