muddy thumping vast rock songs with propelling drums and guitars about city life, religion and disenchantment.
amy winehouse – back to black
a young woman with a lovely voice who sings about love, independence and loss like she has had years of experience in all three.
el-p – i’ll sleep when i am dead
hip-hop with layers and layers to sift through, most rather grubby and the reason why i can listen to it over and over again is the sudden beauty in between the twisted lyrics and hooks. an exception to my hip hop phobia.
lcd soundsystem - sound of silver
when new age dance music meets the rock of the eighties the beats do not stop- and nor do the feet. welcome to the party.
sondre lerche - two way monologue
pretty sad boy songs, sung in a half spoken half sung accented drawl that breaks into gorgeous melodies at the choruses.
three cd set of a jaw dropping range of genre from standard folk tunes to rock and country; even to the dangerous territory of spoken word ditties; a house of horrors of sorts, with waits spitting, moaning, drawling and wailing out images of dark strange places and people. rarely have i seen a nightmare this wonderful.

is tom waits the same guy who sang "little drop of poison" in shrek 2?
if it is.. i love his voice
Back to Black has been playing back to back with itself on my player for days now. I love that girl's extreme persona. And I don't want to go to rehab either I guess.
