You can go "heart" songs and artists, but otherwise just listen to music and it will generate charts for you.

I've been listening to Craft Spells a lot lately..

Just a second for Lykke Li, tUnE-yArDs for Bon Iver. Solid list.

hmm...i've been listening to a lot of electronica lately. cfcf, jon hopkins, and ben frost are at the top of my list. any recs on your end? also, are you going to balmorhea on sept. 5?

Wow great library! I am checking out some of these bands now...!

Yes. Yes you did.

it was my Halloween costume x]

Yep! South city representn'. I think the gargoyle always have extra tickets at the door, but you have to get there early. I'm planning on getting my camera obscura tix real soon.

El Perro Del Mar?! I'm jealous. so Jealous. and the pic? hehe, I was Hello Kitty for halloween.

El Perro Del Mar this Friday at the Gargoyle!

Hit me with some philosophies BRO!

and yea, Jenny Lewis is astounding. I love her music and her so much!

i LOVE Sufjan Stevens c:

Ahhhhhhhhhh maybe I'll start using this site again..

Hi, there! Ah, yes, Jason Collett is a wonder. My last.fm plays some of Josh Ritter, so that's all I've really heard, but what I've heard, I like :) I'll definitely make an effort to look more into him, though.

New Bon Iver - Blood Bank has recently leaked...

saw your 08 list. nice work.

and Iron & Wine. actually, make them your top priority. they are amazing.

thanks :). lately i've been all about MGMT..kids and electric feel are just so damn catchy. i would check out Cataldo, too. although he's not at allll well known, this guy has some serious talent. here's a link to his website where he has a few free downloads: http://www.cataldomusic.com/15776.html.

i know. the rilo kiley too, huh? i don't really like the newest, countriest bright eyes, and i feel like the rest is more influenced by folk or rock than country. but i really like to think of myself as staunchly anti-country. like i said, it's completely irrational.

i have an irrational hatred of country, but their album covers make me want to listen to them. so i might check them out. thank you!

Not a contest, I was just pointing that out :-) As for other recommendations- you may like Peter (and the) Wolf, and also Ingrid Michaelson.

Do check 'em out! And I should say I notice that you're ahead of me on the Sufjan play count by a mere 8 plays I do believe.

Thank you very much. Sadly, I have not heard of her. :x

I do like the new Radiohead. I'm glad it made your list.

and Explosions In The Sky - All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone, which was my favourite release of 07. I was disappointed with Wilco's release as I fell in love with A Ghost Is Born and it ranks as one of my favourite albums ever. There is a lot of stuff on your list of 07 that I really want to check out though. Where should I start?

There are a few albums on your list that I've heard bits of and like but haven't heard enough to say for sure whether I would add them to my list or not. St. Vincent is definately on my list. I liked Arcade Fire, Rosie Thomas and Feist but perhaps not enough to add to my list. Some on mine are Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss, Kubichek! - Not Enough Night, Bjork - Volta, Arthur & Yu - In Camera :)

I love pretty much everything she does, so yes, I'm crazy about it. You?

last.fm is going to become my new hobby.

Hello. I like that this site tells you what concerts are coming. I want to live in St Louis right now.

Hey sorry... I was without internet for a while... I'll work on getting you some more recommendations!

Re: These Friends of Mine by Rosie Thomas, I downloaded it on eMusic earlier in the year. But you reminded me that I should listen to it again soon, it's been a while. I love Sufjan. :)

I haven't heard the RK album yet (except for a song or two on Myspace) but from what I've read of reviews and the lyrics, I'm pretty wary. Did you end up getting the new NP? How was that one?

What do you think of the new Rilo Kiley?

Awww. I'll let you know if I hear of any extra tickets anywhere.

I'm great - just got back from a family vacation to northern California. How are you? Did you see that Ryan Adams is going to be at the Pageant on October 5?

How was BRMC? Wish I could have gone. :p

I don't think I'll be at the BRMC show, this Sunday is no good. Oh, I had one download left for this month on eMusic so I used it on that Page France song you recommended. I like it - I'll have to check out more of their songs later. :)

Re: Margot, I love them. I've had the album for several months now, but when I first got it I remember being mad at myself for not downloading it the second you recommended it, it's so good. :) You saw them live, right? How was it? As far as BRMC, I didn't even know about the show until I saw it on your page the other day.

Haha I know what you mean about the Damien show. And that song was definitely a highlight - he can rock when he wants to! Of course I also loved when he did Cannonball acoustic/no mic.

What did you think of the show Friday?

Oh. Well anyway I've been listening to music all day and night. Sooo you get back to me. You look like this guy I know..but his last name is Minneran.

Have we met? We have SUPER (HOT PINK) compatibility.

Oh yeah, I see you just listened to the new BRMC album...how is it?

Definitely! I'm pretty disappointed that Lisa Hannigan won't be singing with him anymore (did you hear about that?) but I'm sure it will still be fantastic!

i gave Bastard Fairies a listen, and I take that as a compliment. I see the similarities. Thanks!

Yep, we are! Maybe I will see you there! Have you seen him before? I went three years ago and loved it.
