Roisin Murphy’s Ruby Blue. Sort of industrial dance Enya. Or something. Very fun though.

I have been listening to a station on iTunes called Whiskey From A Wire, and writing down the names of artists I like. It has been a good way for me to find new music. Of course I lost my list, so I started a new one. The first band on it is The National. Good stuffs.

Ok, according to itunes this is what I’ve been listening to over the past 48 hours (none of it is a recent release, but it just might be new to you):
“Versus God” – Dillinger Four
“Homegrown” – Dodgy
“Jailbreak” – Thin Lizzy
“The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World” – Supersuckers
“Destination: Diamonds” – Diamond Knights
“Journey: Greatest Hits” – Journey (and no, I’m not gonna apologize for it. Don’t stop believin’, dammit!)

Oh hell yes, I have that. I’ve had it for so many months that I can’t even count as recent music. I have all The Hold Steady albums. That one song about being at the Northtown Mall. . . that was my mall growing up. I spent a lot of time at the Northtown Mall.

Really, really, I am still obsessed with The Hold Steady. Jodi, if you do not have Boys and Girls in America yet, I don’t think I can continue to consider you as an expert in amazing local music.
And, that album is so good at evoking a certain time/place when we were young and naive and hopeful. I have such an “I was totally there” feeling when I listen to this.
