yermom Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 If it's not too late to add my little recommendations...I like to suggest Clem Snide and Eef Barzelay (of Clem Snide) every chance I get and it's right up your alley judging by your post.Check out Eef Barzelay's "Ballad of Bitter Honey." It's absolutely awesome. He's got the best voice and the lyrics are clever and interesting (great for just skimming the surface of but they can go deep if you decide you want them to.) Just really awesome gentle but powerful stuff. And he's adorable, so that never hurts. At one point his song (via his group, Clem Snide) "Moment in the Sun" was the theme for the tv show, "Ed."

LouieB Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 My recommendation is that M. Ward LP, Post-War, it's mighty fine.This is one I would like to hear also. Waiting for a used copy to cross my path. I suspect I am going to have to buy the new Andrew Bird new. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

El Picador Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I just discovered The Rosebuds at SXSW at the Hot Freaks party. Check out their 2005 record 'Birds Make Good Neighbors'. I was impressed with them (live and in person) and then checked out this record and am glad I did. They're from Raleigh, NC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I too love Eef. Amaranthine, I can send you some Clem Snide if you like. Llynn, I wish we had gotten to meet at that infamous Springfield show. We seem to share similar tastes, as I've noticed from some of your other posts. Do you like Mountain Goats? Admittedly his voice isn't for everyone, but I love his lyrics, and I'm hooked on "Get Lonely". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Queen Amaranthine Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 The thing is 1972 and Nashville, for example, seem to fit the list to me, as it's easy to listen to. So I'm like this: For some reason they don't have the same zing or whatever for me. I'm not sure why. They seem flat to me compared to the earlier stuff. As for logic--har--sleep-deprived new parents have no logic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willywoody Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Peter Bruntnell - Normal For BridgewaterBeulah - YokoJosh Ritter - Animal Years not all new but very very good all very excellent albums may i add: grandaddy (as was mentioned previously) except i'd avoid the diary of toddzilla given your tastescalexico (including the iron and wine collaboration)patty hurst shifter (just good ol' rock n roll from raleigh, nc)two cow garage (hard rock with twang)the drams(the remains of slobberbone but you'd hardly know it, a lot like summerteeth) probably my best recommendation given what i can tell about your tastes.

Littlebear Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 For some reason they don't have the same zing or whatever for me. I'm not sure why. They seem flat to me compared to the earlier stuff. As for logic--har--sleep-deprived new parents have no logic! Amaranthine, I've just listened to Josh's 1972 again a few minutes ago and on closer inspection, find it somewhat "too easy" listening. The sound is a bit flat, it sounds like "living room" music. On the other hand, the guy's still got taste for fine compositions. And my own logic is often weird too. As for cool music... Do you know Ron Sexsmith's Retriever? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Admittedly his voice isn't for everyone, but I love his lyrics, and I'm hooked on "Get Lonely". I do like Mountain Goats but I haven't listened to too much because I'm bad about not listening to music that everyone gets into before I do. If I find out about some cool musician on my own, I get all kinds of into it. If friends try to turn me onto something, I usually don't listen to it as much even if I do like it an awful lot. I don't know why I do that. It's really pretty lame of me. I should probably just give in and listen to more Mountain Goats! For now, I know I really like "Song for Dennis Brown" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrewwlyle Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Anything from Josh Ritter's discography is really great so I second that. Other than that, I'd probably go back and listen to some classic 60s and 70s stuff, like.. Bruce Springsteen - Born To RunT. Rex - The SliderThe Band - Music From Big PinkThe Byrds - Mr. Tambourine ManNeil Young - After the Goldrush And for some really easy going music.. I'd go with Curtis Mayfield or Toots & the Maytals Quote Link to post Share on other sites

willywoody Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 hey i'm sober now and i still say check out jubilee dive by the drams. it's been completely ignored by near everyone in the media but "Hummalong" and "Unhinged" are great rockers to blare out the car window. Some Summerteeth styled poppy mid tempo numbers, too. I think New West did no promotion on this cd as it's too good to leave off any kind of top 50 or top 100 of 2006.

mike squires Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Because I'd like to understand. But now you should apologize for insulting me, don't you think, dickhead? I listened to some music at borders the other day and really enjoyed Patty Griffen and Ricki Lee Jones latest. I'm in the same situation as you though. A three year old and have no extra money to be buying music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimtweedy1977 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hey Michelle I would definitely recommend the Avett Brothers. They're bluegrass with a lot of energy. Think March era Uncle Tupelo with the humor/light touch of Barenaked Ladies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jahilia Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 My recommendation is that M. Ward LP, Post-War, it's mighty fine.I'd recommend anything by M. Ward I've just listened to Josh's 1972 again a few minutes ago and on closer inspection, find it somewhat "too easy" listening. The sound is a bit flat, it sounds like "living room" music. On the other hand, the guy's still got taste for fine compositions. I agree with you. I would say Under Cold Blue Stars is just about perfect, but I haven't been impressed with his more recent stuff. I heard an interview he did on NPR and he said his latest album was (paraphrasing) "music you can put on while you have people over for dinner" Josh Ritter - Animal YearsI love this one too.

wonderturtle Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 regarding Josh Rouse... Nashville is great stuff. Subtitilo is good, not great. any album with the song "My Love Has Gone" - when the best POP songs ever written if you ask me - is golden!! UCBS is only slightly better.
