Music Stuff

[hiddenmuse]

Okay ... there's a lot of new (and newer) musicians that I'm curious about, but I have no idea where to start when it comes to their music! To put it simply - I don't know what songs would be "first time listener" recommendations. I know, it sounds lame ... but, there it is. So, my lovelies, any help is most appreciated - I'll list the musicians, and you can recommend songs for me to get from iTunes! (Who knows, maybe some day, I can return the favor...)


Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Gossip
Interpol
Goldfrapp

Any other recommendations are welcome! :-)

I have all of those, but lately I've only been listening to the Gossip so uh that's all I feel qualified to recommend on. heh. If you're thinking of getting an album, get "that's not what I heard" and anything on it, I also like the songs on the real damage EP: "left out now" and "sleepers"

the ep is split with Tracy and the Plastics, actually a one-woman video performance collaboration of Wynn Greenwood. Highly recommend Tracy and the Plastics (where this icon comes from)...

OK so I love *all* of the music of these artists, but here's specific songs to get started...(get albums if ycan):

* Doria Roberts, "Perfect" "Hold On Me" (Alive and Well)

* the new Ben Harper is sooo incredible. "Both Sides of the Gun" "Black
Rain" "the Woman in You" "Faded" "Please Bleed" "Fight for your
Mind" "If the People Lead"... ok I gotta stop..

* also Le Tigre if you don't have em, get "This Island" or "Feminist
Sweepstakes" albums; "On the Verge" "TKO" "Viz" "New Kicks" "I'm So
Excited" "Punker Plus" "Fake French" "FYR" "Get Off the
Internet!" "Gone B4 Yr Home"

* Robots in Disguise; "D-I-Y" "Boys" "Hi-Fi" "Mnemonic" "Transformer"

* KT Tunstall; "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" "Universe &
U" "Suddenly I See"

* Jean Grae; "Don't Rush Me" "keep living" "How to Break Up With Your
Girl"

* Mos Def; "Hip Hop" "Ms. Fat Booty" "Do It Now" "Habitat"

* the Decemberists (Her Majesty is my fave) "Billy Liar" "Los Angeles,
I'm Yours" "Red Right Ankle"

* Sufjan Stevens (come on feel the Illinoise) album artist, no singles I
could say... maybe "The Seers Tower," "the Black Hawk War..", "One
Last 'WooHoo!'" but really get the album

* Stereo Total; "I Love You, Ono" "Supergirl" "Miau Miau" their cover
of "Push It" kicks my ass. "C'est La Mort"

* Manu Chao; "Clandestino" "Bongo Bong" "Welcome to
Tijuana" "Mentira" "Me Gustas Tu" "Promiscuity" "La Primavera"

um... yeah I love music too much, so yes please return the favor! who are some of your faves that i have to have to know listen to, 1st time listener picks?
