she's putting out her solo cd soon.

Oh shit for real. Dolores? well its about time somethings happening!.

I love the cranberries forever for linger. but bar their first album, they're incredibly inconsistent.

im telling you its not on it.

theres no 'hidden track'. no track 12. no nothing.

Do you have to linger? Do you have to? Do you have to? Do you have to linger?

that is strange. i find that highly odd. i bought two copies of blind within the last 5 years, both new, and they both had blind on it. and one that i bought was done her recently. tower records is showing wild horses as being on there. highly odd.

you're both in different countries?

the damn thing's only on the u..s. release? what a fucking stupid thing to do. oh well. goes to show the u.s. does it right.

the way you smile
and the look in your eyes
you make me feel in heaven
my heart belongs to you it's true

woo tanya!!!

love her.

gotta love the song, acrobat, reddie.

I know i already posted this album as "album of the day" but its so fucking gorgeous. My faves are: "Ooh La La", "Number 1", "Let it take you" and "Ride a white horse". Goldfrapp is certified now as "Artists of the week" for me, and one of my fave artists.

don't forget lovely to c u. that's the best track for me in supernature.

How can i forget "lovely 2 c u", that song makes me wanna get down and dirty and stripped!.

Wooo! Heather!

really love her.

the live version of gloomy sunday she did the other day was amazing. It was like the paris live one, piano led.

Dear Frustrated Superstar

The Organ - Grab that Gun

this is one of the best things i've heard in a while. comparisons to the smiths are very logical. there's a similar edge to the guitars and an offbeat affectation to the vocals (think debbie harry, only more involved in the proceedings). the lyrics are brooding and there's a general sense of displacement in the songs. it makes this debut startlingly familiar, refreshingly catchy and eventually haunting.

i LOVE lamb!! my faves are: "Gorecki", "Lusty", and "Transfattyacid". Fucking awesome!!!.

If I should die this ver moment, I wouldn't fear.

Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk.

Absolutely love this album!!! one of my fave tori albums.

I put the hood right back where, you can taste heaven perfectly

Scarlet's walk is possibly my favourite Tori album (I mean, 18 amazing songs!) but it varies a lot.

I just love it so much, I'm rarely able to cut up the album order, I have to listen to all 18 tracks together, in order, all of every song.

manic expressive - her space holiday

Scarlet's Walk.

Not my favourite. Probably my least favourite.

And now I am so wierd around it. After the whole thing you noticed LY, with the endings.

Thing is, you know the Scarlet's Hidden Treasures? all those songs don't have that ending at all, they all have beautifully different endings.

Scarlet's Walk feels like a whole healing process to me

Thats true, but those aren't part of the album...

But they were all written together, and they're all either parts of the journey, or the belly of other album songs. Like "Seaside" to "Pancake".

Sufjan Stevens- Seven Swans

Cat Power: You Are Free

(Im loving this album)

awww. you're all over that album, huh.

i walked in beauty too
til i met you

Ditty Bops - Eponymous


One of my new favourite bands. Such sweet, fun songs. "Sister Kate" is my necessary morning song.

I love "This Way" by Jewel
It's really cool
I listen to it and sing along like a loser
who can't sing!!!!!

I'm listening to "Harmonium" Vanessa Carlton
Interesting.

sexy, fizzy pop rock!!! i love it. think veruca salt without the undertow of suicide. this is all fun in the sun, cali pop and whatever.

I love "This Way", it's my favourite Jewel album. It's such an amazing record full of strong melodies, moody chords and interesting lyrics. (Though "Pieces of You" is probably her strongest-written album, the music of "This Way" is more engaging, ensnaring and magical). Beautiful record.

loquat - before the momentum ep

i'm a sucker for pretty female voices and the vocalist for loquat, kylee swenson, has a nice little girl lilt when she sings and she's always backed up by dubs of her own voice and a guy singing. it doesn't hurt that the melodies are so gentle and heavenly. their music has a slight sixties sounding swing (especially in "friends without thumbs"). "swingset chain" is a lovely, catchy piece of lounge pop and "internal crash" is a standout, with its tremendously affecting melody and vocal performance by swenson. their cover of the smiths classic, "there is a light that never goes out" is quite accomplished too. the melancholy suits them well.

"Year of Meteors" - Laura Veirs

I saw her walking down Camden casually a couple of months back
So small and thin
I love this

okay, i finally got into checking out martha wainwright and was just blown away. i've always liked her song, bmfa and i didn't know she could be better than that sharp slice of honesty. her voice is very powerful, raspy but pristine and her words are very beautiful. there's nothing pretentious about her. how lys came into that conclusion is beyond me and how he can favor something fluffy like jewel over her is just astonishingly ridiculous. sorry, lys but it is.



this is a simply breathtaking piece of singer songwriter work. martha possesses quite a voice. its raspy quality is perfectly suited to her words. more often than not, she sings of honest stuff, whether it's low self esteem, disappointment, love and love (and love). this is material that can hook you with one spin. one thing is for sure, martha is talented. anyone who can sing such a tough, sharp song like "b.m.f.a." and grasp the gentle core of "whither must i wonder" is to be recommended.

lys, honey. you need a reality check.

Still on a Comeandgetit high, but I've also been listening to the Indigo Girls - "Swamp Ophelia". Mostly cause I promised my mom I'd sing the harmony to "Power of Two" at her wedding with my sister. Lets all say it together... awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww .. lol

Personally, I find naming a song on your debut "Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole" pretentious. And it is. It just screams for attention. If I came online and was like "Hey everyone, last night I wrote a song called Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole," you would all label that an act of pretension.

Also, I find her so overbearing. I was watching some live videos and I just can't stand her. I like Rufus, and I can't believe they're related to be honest.

And why is it that with you, FUB, it always come down to throwing one artist in over another?
You may find Jewel fluffy and dislike her, but personally I like her. She has the chemistry I want. She's singing about things that I want to listen to in a way I like.

I hate it when you do this. It's so useless throwing in one artist over another, because the only other person who jumps for it, FUB, is WeLeftYesterday and you're always pandering to him, in these little speeches. And you know regardless of what I write here, he'll paste it and be like "yeah yeah Martha is so blahblahblah, Jewel is so terrible, blah blah blah *something about college rock or some other thing*" and that's probably the only reason you do it.

*sigh*

So whatever, Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole.
Oh look at it go.

Aslyn-Lemon Love

Has anyone ever seen the movie A Chorus Line? Do you remember the girl that was good at dancing, Bebe Benson, in the green suit??? This girl aslyn reminds me of her.

LY said she looked like someone, too.

She reminds me of Helen Mirren.

Woah, definitely! Kind of mixed wit hFrances McDormand
