Floating away on eigth notes

I heard Kate Nash's "Merry Happy" on Sarah Said yesterday. First, I have to say, Sarah Marie has some great taste in music. It's true that we love a lot of the same artists--including Bob Dylan, Ben Kweller, and Mason Jennings. But what I'm really digging about her blog playlist is that I'm hearing some talented artists on her blog that I've never heard of or listened to before. (Side note: I usually HATE when people play music on their blogs--especially if it interferes with whatever I'm already listening to.) This is the kind of music that makes me wonder why I haven't purchased a CD since Christmas. It's time to get back out there and start adding to my collection again!



While running errands with Andrew yesterday, I spotted the KN album "Made of Bricks" on sale for $9.99 at Best Buy. I took that as a sign that it should be mine. I've listened to it literally all day.

(Side note: I really hate the fourth track, "D***head." The lyrics: "Why are you being a dick head for? Stop being a dick head. Why are you being a dick head for? You're just f-ing up situations." Um, yeah. Not exactly poetry.)

I just popped back over to Sarah Marie's site to see what else she had to show me, and ta da! The Pipettes! Genius. Going to add that to my list of music to check out at the library soon.

The list? You want to see the list?

I stumbled upon all of the above through Pandora when listening to a station based upon the music of Tilly and the Wall. Good stuff. Good stuff. Do any of you have anything to add to my list? Does anyone love/hate anyone already on the list? Speak up!
