Favorite Things: Music Edition

People....I love music and I love finding new artists and listening to new albums.  Here is a mix of all time favorites and favorites as of late.  True, many of these are established bands with a long list of albums under their belts...but they make my heart skip a beat and therefore have made the list.

Weezer - Raditude
The newest album! 

Gossip - Music for Men
So many songs on this album just make me dance ROCK out!! 

Rilo Kiley - Under the Black Light & The Execution of All Things
...i love them both so much

Athens Boys Choir - Jockstraps & Unicorns & Bar Mitzvah Superhits of the 80's, 90's and Today
I have a HUGE crush on Katz...I would TOTALLY make babies with him!  enough for the editorial - radical Trans Spoken Word Artist that I am (clearly) head over heels for!

Bitch & Animal - Eternally Hard
They aren't together anymore...but their albums are still in circulation!  Animal still tours with Ani and the like and makes me wicked happy!!

God-des & She - Stand Up
I am also head-over-heels for God-des...she's a white, lesbian, Jewish rapper from Wisconsin.  They make me happy.

Company of Thieves - Ordinary Riches
ps...they are wonderful live.  If you have the chance to see them live...you should.

Kate Nash - Made of Bricks
ALSO puts on a kick-ass show.  haven't heard from her in a while...I really hope she is still at it!

Erin McKeown - Sing You Sinners
She just signed with Righteous Babe Records and is, therefore, a notch higher on the cool scale!

KATastroPHE - Let's Fuck, Then Talk About My Problems
Radical Trans Hip-Hop artist!!

Tina Dico - Count to Ten

Noisettes - Wild Young Hearts

Owl City - Ocean Eyes

Debra Arlyn - Tomorrow Another Day
GREAT local artist that I think is going to make a splash soon!

Buchanan - All Understood
A very unknown band...and i am pretty sure they are no longer together, but the lead singers voice makes me SO happy!

Marit Larsen - I found this video a while ago and CAN NOT find her albums anywhere.  If anyone knows how i can get it (especially the song in the video) i would be so grateful!!

I mustn't leave out Ani DiFranco (my favorite live album), Tegan & Sara (newest release - Sainthood), or Lily Allen (It's Not Me, It's You - One of my favorite album titles)...they will make any list ever made by me...everyone should know them.  The end.

PLEASE leave me comments with suggestions.
