'Out Of Gas'
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Thank you, thank you ! (I had forgotten about Pink, but most of the others are new to me!) I knew Buffistas would come through.
Rilo Kiley, definitely. And Feist. Neko Case if you think you might alt-country-ish stuff. Thea Gilmore is AWESOME. Um, who else? Martha Wainwright (Rufus' sister), Deb Talan, Goldfrapp, Regina Specktor, KT Tunstall. Recently, I've had Santogold's debut album on a constant loop.
Kate Nash, The Sounds, The Pierces (as recced by smonster, SO GOOD), The Donnas, The Gossip, The Pipettes, Erykah Badu, Zap Mama, Peaches, Poe, Regina Spektor, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs...
eMusic currently has a feature on cover albums. [link] So far I've downloaded the Steve Reich one, which is OK. Oh, and Robyn Sings (Dylan covers), which I like a lot. Think I'll grab Japancakes' version of MBV Loveless next....
Oh, I downloaded Radiodread a while ago, but never got into it....
Neko Case! I LOVE her.
I keep meaning to get that Pierces album.
The Pipettes are the happiest-making band ever. I adore them to bits. They're sort of a peppy and snarky throwback to 50's girlbands. Great for pick-me-up when you're feeling down.
While we're on the theme of covers, I have this kickass (and hilarious) bluegrass-ified medley of Radiohead cover songs called "Rodeohead", by Hard 'n Phirm. A fantastic vidder named AbsoluteDestiny vidded Firefly to the song last year, which is where I heard the song first. I'll upload it to buffistarawk.
The Pierces (as recced by smonster, SO GOOD)
All lovers of The Hush Sound should immediately procure The Pierces.
I'm loving Northern State right now - they're kind of a cross between Luscious Jackson and the Beastie Boys.
Wait-- The Pierces were on Gossip Girl, right? I did love that song!
I have lots of checking out to do! Yay!
