More Music Love

Remember when I told you I loved the Weepies? Well, I still do.

But I have a more recent love affair now, and it's significant enough that I had to share. If you haven't listened to Jose Gonzales yet, then... well, I don't know what. But I'm not sure how I ever lived before I had Veneer to listen to. It's rare that I feel this way about an album.

I am somewhat devastated that it's his first album, because it means that I can't go and obsessively track down everything else he's released. I'm also somewhat devastated that I missed his performance with Zero-7 here in Vancouver last August, since I had no idea who he was. :(

This love runs deep, I gotta say. I don't have much doubt that Veneer will do down as one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE ALBUMS.

Speaking of which... I'd love to hear about which albums make other folks' all time favorite lists. Anyone wanna share?

Duncan Sheik's Phantom Moon

Duncan Sheik's Phantom Moon saw me through some tough times. In high school, lol. I shall have to take you up on your recommendations sometime. They sound like good start places, seeing as I've only bought one album from 2006 this entire year. I'll have to figure out a good time to end the media fast.

I recently discovered Regina Spektor

I know, I know, much later than everybody else. Nonetheless, I'm digging her. She reminds me of Feist: http://www.reginaspektor.com/.

Cordelia's Dad: Comet

They are by far my all time favorite band. Folk/rock that is just wonderful to listen to. They had recently released Comet when I first saw them at Marlboro College (in VT).

I highly recommend them.
