hiddenmuseI've been thinking of getting a few new tunes from Napster - and I thought I'd get some suggestions/ideas while I was at it.
Here's what I'm looking to get:
Elvis Costello - "Alison"
Betty - "It Girl"
Sebadoh - "Round And Round" (yes, as in Ratt's "Round And Round". This is an acoustic version, apparently.)
Petra Hayden - "I Can See For Miles And Miles"
Maybe even some more Lewis Black comedy. I've practically memorized the "IHOP" piece ... could use some more new stuff.
Since my musical tastes are all over the place (disco, country, metal, emo, punk, jazz) - I'd love to see what you have to suggest! :-)

Oh, the disappointment). He's da man. (Which reminds me, I have to order his book.)

Date: 2005-03-16 07:46 pm (UTC)They Might Be Giants "Birdhouse in Your Soul", "We Want A Rock", "They'll Need A Crane", and "Anna Ng." Also, "I Palindrome I", "Mammal", "The Statue Got Me High", "Dinner Bell" (It's about Pavlov!), "Don't Let's Start" and "Rhythm Section Want Ad".
*consulting the iPod*
Reverend Horton Heat "Loco Gringos Like A Party" (Rockabilly/Psychobilly)

Weezer "The Good Life" (Alternative/College Rock)
White Town "I Could Never Be Your Woman" (Alternative)
Burning Airlines "Outside the Aviary" (Emo)
Anything by The Dismemberment Plan. I heart them. They are college rock/indie rock but very QUIRKY.
Furneral Oration "I Fall Harder" and "Stop For A Moment" (Punk)
The Killers "Somebody Told Me" and "Mr. Brightside" (80's emoish)
Meat Puppets "Lake of Fire" and "Plateau" (80's college rock made famous by Nirvana)

Date: 2005-03-16 08:00 pm (UTC)I've got The Killers "Somebody Told Me" - excellent song. Love it so much.
I also love that White Town song - haven't heard it in a million years. :) Also like The Meat Puppets - especially the song "Backwater". And with Weezer, I really like "Island In The Sun" - it sounds kind of fun and happy ... and puts me in a decent mood.
Okay, so you've brought out the Music Dork in me. ;)

Actually, you can go to their website (http://www.carbonleaf.com) and hear some stuff from their newest album and then decide if you want to spend your money on it ;)

You should try to get on that fairly quickly since songs usually aren't available for more than a week and that was posted yesterday. While you're there I recommend getting Holly Beth Vincent's cover of the Dixie Cups' "Chapel Of Love." It's rockin'.
I've been on a chick music thing lately, so here are some of my favorites in heavy rotation right now that I think you might like, if you don't already have them:
"At Last"-Etta James
"Nothing Compares 2 U"-Sinead O'Connor
"Rhythm Nation"-Janet Jackson
"You Outta Know"-Alanis Morissette
"Hittin' On Nothing"-Irma Thomas
"D-I-V-O-R-C-E"-Tammy Wynette
"Headphones"-Bjork
"Midsummer New York"-Yoko Ono
"Day 37"-Alison Pipitone
"Tiptoe"-Ani DiFranco
