I know it’s kinda late to comment but thanks for the rec. I’ll try to listen to Vampire Weekend; I like Ani Difranco. Anyway, I’m listening to Adele. I’m in love with Chasing Pavement’s video.

I have been listening to Staind’s new cd – The Illusion Of Progress, I love them and I know they are not everyones cup of tea but they are mine

and I discovered the band Alter Bridge, this video is so touching to me, oh what people do to themselves, it is sad and I hope all these people get better. First year, 3rd runner up from AI is in this group.

LOL, MJ- I like the Ting Tings, and my kids love them, but after a song or 2 I feel like I’ve been transported back to 1983!

I finally broke down and bought honeyhoney’s whole album this week. I’m glad I did- it sounds much better than the stream from Lala did. It’s a fun, eclectic album, with some jazz, some folk, and some bluegrass, all mixed up together.

I’ve also been listening to Black Gold’s EP more. Their song Breakdown was played in the background on Dirty Sexy money last week. The chorus of David Cook’s song My Last Request kind of reminds me of their song Detroit, and of Carolina Liar’s song Last Night. Detroit’s chorus also seriously reminds me of something from the 80′s, but for some reason I can’t specifically figure out what, and it’s driving me crazy!

I love Vampire Weekend! Another fun album!

Coldplay’s new EP of course, I’d give it a 5 stars if Jay-Z weren’t in it. I don’t mind him, but it doesn’t work for that song.

I don’t have much time for new music recently, so just checke my brother’s playlist. His comment on Killers’ new album: lame. I won’t bother listening to it then. And another one cracks me up. Blazing Eternity – A World to Drown In, “way out of key”.

And I saw a self-released album called Selective Memory reminded me of the song Selective Memory by Eels.

I actually didnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t download any new music this week, except Nickelback but I know they are not very popular in here ;) so I Hill skip that oneÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ Instead I have being listening to an old findingÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ most of the music I listen I have found out by Tv programs, House MD or Scrubs have amazing soundtracksÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ so at the beginning of the year I watched this Japanese animated program called Beck or Mongolian Chop Squad, review of the series here, about a group of Japanese kids trying to made it in to the rock world in USÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ the series is really good, one of the best I have ever seem, and the soundtrack is really interesting, a little rap, a little rock and some coversÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦one of my favorites covers that is: Beck I Got a Feeling cover from The Beatles And these songs: Moon on The Water Slip Out Sadly you can only buy the soundtrack in Amazon the album is Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad , you can also check Beat Crusaders who are the band behind some of the songs in the albumÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ So there it is, I watch Anime, IÃƒâ€š ´m a nerd, and IÃƒâ€š ´m no longer have any secrets to the `people in this blog

I liked Vampire Weekend and will be listening to more of their stuff. I’d been meaning to check them out for quite some time, so thanks MJ for posting the vid! Now, I must know: am I the only one here who cannot stop listening to Chinese Democracy? (The album, not the song – that song is actually my least fave on what is my new favorite album). Someone please tell me I am not alone!

Two songs I’m obsessing over this week:

“Never Miss A Beat” by the Kaiser Chiefs

“Supermassive Black Hole” by Muse (thanks to an amazing scene in Twilight ;D)

I like this mash-up of The Ting Tings “Shut Up & Let Me Go” and Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out.”

I don't know if people here are into reggae, but I've been listening to it lately. Nothing new (or at least released this year) but still some good stuff. One of the bands I've been listening to the most is a brazilian one, called Natiruts, reggae with a bit of inlfuence of brazilian music, I think it's nice: O CarcarÃƒÆ’ ¡ e a Rosa Quero Ser Feliz TambÃƒÆ’ ©m And Gentleman: Send a Prayer Intoxication MJ, really like that Vampire Weekend song. First time I heard about that band.

Hi all, long time lurker first time poster.
I’m delurking because MJ mentioned Vampire Weekend, one of my favorite bands. Not sure if you have heard the whole CD but I absolutely love it. I’m very interested in hearing the remix version. I think I may purchase that.

I love the Ting Tings (saw them in Minneapolis a few months ago.) Shut Up & Let me Go, That's Not My Name and Great DJ are my faves. Check out Brett Dennen: Blessed Ain't No Reason
