At the moment, I am on a much-needed two-week break from work. In addition to using this time to recharge, get exercise, and catch up on work, I am also going write another blog entry. My musical tastes haven't changed since my last post, but my this list will be completely new. Sadly, many songs (far too many to remember) have come and gone in the interim but this list serves as an honest representation of what I am listening to now.
The List:
1) One For The Road by The Arctic Monkeys. I have never been too big on the Arctic Monkeys, but their most recent album, AM, is a really good showing. It seems to me that they have kept their strong lyrics, but have ditched the overly dance-y, punk sound.
2) Given The Chance by The Kite String Tangle. Moody, atmospheric, and catchy.
3) Not Fair by Lily Allen. A lovely spaghetti-western style song about a sexually unsatisfied lady.
4) Take My True Love By The Hand by The Limeliters. If it wasn't for Breaking Bad, this song wouldn't be here.
5) Washington DC by The Magnetic Fields. I am a huge fan of songs to, or about, places.
6) Abigail, Belle of Kilronan by The Magnetic Fields. It's a little off-putting when listened to with headphones. But after a while it starts to work to the song's favour.
7) Ghost Lit by Diagrams. Nothing much to say, I just like it.
8) John Allyn Smith Sails by Okkervil River.
9) Putting Up With The Joneses by Spirit of the West. "And in this rat-raced twirl of our computer-guided world, he stands no chance of winning, let alone to blaze a show!"
10) Grand Optimist by City and Colour. "I guess I take after my mother...."
Until next time.
