October 16, 201213 yr ^^ thank you NPR http://www.npr.org/2012/10/14/162733588/first-listen-bat-for-lashes-the-haunted-man
October 17, 201213 yr Steve Hogarth & Richard Barbieri, Not the Weapon but the Hand -- weird, minimalistic, sparse, moody album. Steve sounds like he can barely sing quietly enough, against Richard's backdrop (there really is no other word for it -- soundscapes sounds too attention-whorey) of music. I'm actually quite liking it, probably because I'm in my darkened office with headphones on, with a comedown from a post-spicy-meal high going on. My rating, on a scale of one to infinity: 8| (dilated pupils)
October 17, 201213 yr jeff lynne - 2012 - long wave good but not great - but just happy to have Jeff to listen to.
October 17, 201213 yr ^^ Will queue up. Seems like I need to actively cyberstalk you, your tastes seem to parallel mine. Me: Aeon Zen, The Face of the Unknown -- proggy prog.
October 19, 201213 yr Caravan Palace -- French, glitchy, retro electro. RIYL The Real Tuesday Weld, the background music to the Gentleman Rhymer Very upbeat, great fun, makes me happy, makes me dance. Makes me throw my back out, ackshully.
October 19, 201213 yr Bat For Lashes - Haunted Man Thanks for posting this. Hadn't heard of them before. This album is brilliant!
October 20, 201213 yr jeff lynne - 2012 - long wave good but not great - but just happy to have Jeff to listen to. Didn't know he had any solo work. Reminiscent of ELO, or something different?
October 21, 201213 yr Reminiscent of more recent ELO (e.g., Zoom) and his work with Traveling Wilburys. I.E. less "electronic", no violin flourishes, and a more general Beatles-y-ness to the songwriting. Me: Can't decide, was listening to Stevie Wonder earlier, not sure whether to go back to IAMX...will probably nix all and watch Sherlock.

October 22, 201213 yr Was: A Thing called Divine Fits Is: Hot Chip, In Our Heads Should Be: Bruno Mars Just in a poppy/groovy/slightly off-kilter mood
October 23, 201213 yr Should Be: Bruno Mars Just in a poppy/groovy/slightly off-kilter moodOkay, I didn't know. There's nothing 'slightly off-kilter' about this, this is as mainstream as it gets. I didn't realize this was the "Marry You" guy. God I hate that song, and I don't even know why. It just ruined the rest of the album for me, I tried to skip it, but I just couldn't bring myself to listen to the rest of the album. (shudders involuntarily) Okay, this turned into more of a "what am I not listening to" post.
