It's been a while since I posted the new music I've been listening to. As always, most of these discoveries happen via XM radio, which I love. It's like Tivo — I can't imagine ever going back to regular radio (or regular TV).
The Rat by Dead Confederate
My Own Worst Enemy by Stereophonics
The Rake's Song by Decemberists (I feel compelled to warn you that this is a pretty disturbing song. I don't even normally like The Decemberists. That said, there's a free download of this song at www.decemberists.com.)
Supermassive Black Hole by Muse
Grapevine Fires by Death Cab for Cutie
1901 by Phoenix
I Know What I Am by Band of Skulls
Always Where I Need to Be by The Kooks
Microphone by Coconut Records
Disclaimer: I listen to these songs on the radio, so I'm not endorsing the content of these videos. In most cases, I haven't even watched them (who has time to watch videos what with all the sewing, blogging, cooking, and general life-living!?) These links are just so you can check out the music.
Enjoy!

New(ish) Music
Lately I’ve been changing the channel on my XM radio from my usual 80s to the “alternative” channel. I discovered all but the first of these songs there. I was turned on to the first song on the list by my amazing, talented, sweet, 18-year-old step brother who played a version of it for me on my dad’s guitar a few weeks ago. It’s definitely the most mellow of the bunch. I tried to put them in an order that wouldn’t be too bizarre if you listened straight through. What they share is an ability to get lodged in my head for days at a time.
A bit of trivia: the woman singing in the Puscifer song is Milla Jovovich, the model/actor who held the fate of the world in her hands in the movie The Fifth Element (which I hated the first time I saw it, and loved the second and third!).
And, yes, I’ve noticed that several of these songs have sickness and/or death as the theme. No, I’m not sick or depressed — I just think they rock. But thanks for your concern. ;-)
Casimir Pulaski Day by Sufjan Stevens
The Mission by Pusicfer
Over and Out by Alkeline Trio
Time To Pretend by MGMT
Ghetto Love by Spinnerette
Ghost Town by Shiny Toy Guns
