Music Update

What I am listening to right now:

Mark Lanegan - Not intended for bringing you into an up mood or stirring you to action for sure. The album I'll Take Care of You is made up of cover versions of folk, country & blues songs, and the collection isn't of some of the more popular of the genre. The variety is a nice collection of songs of different musical roots. Although the mood is at best subdued through the entire album it is worth a listen to when chilling out. Lanegan's voice is perfect for the mood of the songs, apparently this mood is something that most of his albums have in common. My favorite is Creeping Coastline of Lights, a song that just hypnotizes me. If this song hasn't been used for a movie shot panning along Coastal Los Angeles it needs to be.

The The - This is the Day and Uncertain Smile have been favorites of mine for a long time, but I recently found another song I now love. Pillar Box Red. Not sure what it is about the song but it just grabs me. Perhaps it is the emotion that builds in the song yet doesn't go overboard. Whatever it is I love it.

Music I could do without for years to come:
James Blunt - You're beautiful, you're beautiful.. you're fucking sappy

Black Eyed Peas - The only thing decent they did was Let's Get it Started for NBA promos. Then they made "My Humps" and Fergie pissed her pants and it's gone to hell from there.

Hollabackgirl by Gwen Stefani - My new inductee into the Total Shit Music Hall of Fame. Congratulatios Gwen
