Here are the artist’s thatI’ve been listening to the most over the last week (according to last.fm):
- Bloc Party – They’re here because of the show the other week. Seeing a band live always makes me want to listen to them more.
- Neutral Milk Hotel – How on earth did I miss this until recently. Now I’m hearing In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
everywhere. Thanks again Vllack.
- Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! – I can see some of their influences now. See above.
- Elf Power – Another recent addition to my library. I don’t like this as much as Neutral Milk Hotel, but that’s just a little bit unfair of a comparison isn’t it?
- Echo & the Bunnymen – I’m really enjoying their new album, Siberia
. It’s not quite the rocker that Evergreen
was, but it’s not quite the same mellow music they’ve been making in the interval either.
- Swervedriver – According to my referral logs, searching for “Swervedriver pics” has brought about 10 different people here. Strange.
- The Clash – Sometimes I forget how important reggae is to their sound. The comments to this post at Dilettante in Distress reminded me of that
- The Decemberists – I can hear a bit of Jeff Mangum in their music now too. With a little more Victorian literature of course.
- Stereolab – I really don’t remember hearing them this much. Maybe that’s because they make such good background music for writing and editing.
- Wilco – November 1 sees the release of Kicking Television (no link yet), a live album recorded last may. I’m looking forward to it.
The most played tracks of the week? Well, just about everything from In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. I must have listened to that about 10 times.
