Couldn't help but enjoy some Peter Gabriel today.

Solsbury Hill

One of my favorite songs of his. Makes me want to do something dangerous... like quit my job.

Peter Gabriel is so solid. I can't really even describe his genre. It's more like "world music" because he uses so many different sounds and international influences and instruments.

The Decemberists - Hazards of Love

I was introduced to this recently by a friend. It is amazing. I've always theoretically been intrigued by concept albums, but they are often a mess. This one is different, and I think it is because they completely commit to the idea. There is no filler. Every lyric on the album is committed to telling a story. Some people might be turned off by the absurdity of the story told, but I love it. I'm really enjoying listening to an album in which more and more nuances are being revealed to me on each listen. It's been awhile since I was this engaged in an Album, I highly recommend it.

Yeasayer - Ambling Alp

Easily one of the best songs of the year imo, and with a great Jodorowskyesque video as well:

I'm listening to Tinariwen, a group of Tuareg Berbers from Mali.

Tenhert--This has a nice groove, kind of bluesy. Desert blues.

Cler Achel--This reminds me of Bowie's Golden Years.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hR6eWexxZA

Here's a link to a 2007 Slate article about Tinariwen:

The Longest Time

Holy crap. This has been one of my favorite songs since I was a kid. I thought it was from the 50s. I had no idea it was written in the doo-wop style by Billy Joel.

Pretty Girls Make Graves - Good Health

Speakers Push the Air
If You Hate Your Friends, You're Not Alone - only other song I could find, lyrics are kinda cringe-worthy in spots but not a bad song

Also been listening to Springsteen's Darkness On the Edge of Town again, such a sick album.

There's a programme Beat Surrender on BBC Radio Newcastle every Saturday that's great for punk/post-punk if you like that kinda thing. You can catch the whole 3.5 hours here:

I don't think that clip of Firth of Fifth, which is one of my favorite pieces of music ever, really does it justice. I like the studio version better (which includes the full awesome piano intro):

I'm listening to the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, a group from my hometown, Springfield, Missouri.

Their biggest hit, Jackie Blue (uncharacteristic song)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZrsCV2A-KA

Maybe their most famous song due to commercial use, If You Wanna Get to Heaven http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCkVrKuzPvc

And the infinitely strange Chicken Train
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSZSxyCtF1M

Chicken squawks could improve a lot of records.
