So I have been wanting to respond to my sisters' emails, bloggings and general requests to share what sort of new music I've been into. Lately, I've been going to a lot of concerts with Julie and Sarah- small ones- and I've loved them all! First off my shultes, I highly recommend discovering Ray LaMontagne. I'm sure a few of you have heard his song off of the Last Kiss soundtrack. His newest album, Gossip in the Grain is amazing. I mostly listen to him these days. You at least have to love "Trouble", "Hold You in My Arms", "Shelter", "Let It Be Me", "I Still Care For You", "You are the Best Thing", and "A Falling Through". So there are some good ones to check out. We went to his concert a month ago and he's one of those guys that is somehow even better live- Love him. Also I went to Missy Higgins' concert. She's quite the little firecracker. I like her live better, but her recorded stuff is great too. My favorite from her is probably "River". We also just went to the Hotel Cafe tour which included the likes of Mieko, Thao, Kate Havenik, Emily Wells, Lenka, and (the reason why we went) the one and only Rachael Yamagata. And yes, it was awesome. So that's some newer stuff. As for what I've been listening to that's not so new but worth listening to-
"To Sheila"- Smashing Pumpkins, "My Lovely"- Eisley, "Subterranean Homesick Alien" and "House of Cards"- Radiohead, "A Call to Apathy"- The Shins, "Sweet Surrender" and "Answer"- Sarah McLachlan, and "Two"- Ryan Adams.....ok, That's enough for now.
