What I’ve Been Listening To
Okay, so after my last few music posts I thought I’d give you a better idea of the scope of my musical preferences. Cause really, while I do love Shakira and yes, even Lady GaGa, there are plenty of other artists on my playlist that aren’t so…hrm…questionably vapid? Anyway, here are some of the other things that hold cherished spots in my iPod.
The Decemberists – They’ve been a favorite of mine for several years now. I don’t even really know how to describe they’re style. Wikipedia says indie/folk/progressive rock and also baroque pop. I like the last one, although I’d say maybe it’s baroque rock. Either way I have all of their albums in my iTunes. It’s kind of hard to find my favorites on Youtube, but here’s one that I like quite a bit:
The Legionnaire’s Lament
Amy McDonald- What I like about Amy McDonald is that she’s a young singer who isn’t using sex to sell herself. She writes her own songs, she has a pretty voice (reminds me of Dolores O’Riordan from the Cranberries, another favorite group of mine) and her lyrics are thoughtful as well.
Mumford & Sons – My newest favorite. I’m a big fan of complicated/poetic/introspective lyrics and unique use of instruments and this group has both.
Winter Winds
And as always, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Alanis Morisette and Johnny Cash are firmly and eternally embedded at the top of my list.
