I’m jonesing for some new stuff
springtime music hunt
A few years ago, I had the Garden State soundtrack and the Shins to
listen to all spring and I was happy. Last year I alternated between
Psapp and the Ditty Bops. I’ve done the Jack Johnson thing and the Astrud Gilberto thing. Now I have Corrine Baily Rae and I love it,
but it’s not really the fun, bouncy lightweight spring music I want
right now. The new Shins album seems a little too moody, and I’ve tried, but the only Justin Timberlake song I can stand is SexyBack and even that is almost too embarrasing to mention.
What should I try out? Ideas, suggestions?
Mama needs a music fix.
Haiku of the Day 
try the new limbeck album or perhaps some of “the format” that stuff always puts me in a good mood

DeVotchKa – Chris has been listening to them on MySpace and played them for me the other day. RAD RAD RAD. They also did most of the soundtrack for Little Miss Sunshine.

Oh, and I heard a song (Penny on a traintrack) off the new Ben Kweller that was great. Haven’t gotten the whole album yet, though.

It’s not new, but check out Nashville from Josh Rouse. I’ve been waking up the neighborhood with it for the last week.
