New music you are into?
 

I'm always on the hunt for music, new, old, something different, I always love it.
So if you come across something interesting, or want to share a new obsession, tell us about it!

i'll start:
I'm going through the music from Veronica Mars and getting songs, which is leading me to other things that my roommates and I have talked about the last few days.
this is more indie/rockish:

Ryan Adams "to be young" but really anything by him
i'm just discovering Elliott Smith (so amazing)
i've always loved Pete Yorn, so anything by him
"the way we get by" Spoon
"such great heights" the postal service
"annie" Vanessa Carlton (a sad song, but great)
"portions for foxes" rilo kiley
ANYTHING by Jimmy Eat World (one of my fave bands) esp "authority song"
i'm also diggin' on Emily King as of late
I put on my old standby of Ani Difranco her album Dilate is lifechanging, i swear!

I was not a fan of VC's poppy stuff (1,000 Miles), but then I heard her song "Half A Week Before the Winter" and I LOVE it.

I listen to Pandora.com all day long. It's awesome because after months of tweaking my main station plays all kinds of wonderful stuff from Frank Sinatra/Sarah Vaughn to Evanescence/Delta Goodram to Sissel/Nana Mouskouri to They Might Be Giants to the GoGos. One of my new favorites is Haley Westenra - she is amazing, especially for being so young.

I recently discovered Feist
Tegan and Sara
Colbie Caillat (sick of Bubbly though)
Damien Rice
Jem
Lily Allen
Richard Cheese (too funny!)
The Shins
and Zero 7

I went on a downloading frenzy the other night and the week before and added about 40 songs to my iPod. It was sweet :D Unfortunatley, the IT guys where I work have blocked mp3 sites, so no Pandora or Yahoo Music for me :( But I'm allowed my iPod!!

Alethia, can't go wrong with Ani. Seen her in concert 3 times and each time she totally kicked ass!

Pandora is internet radio, not mp3.

SthrnZeta,
I love Ani- i've seen her three times too and she is amazing each and every time!
I really like Tegan and Sara too, i have the cd that has Monsters on it (i forget the name of it)

btw AF I just downloaded haley westernra- she is good! :)

ya but a lot of times internet radio is blocked too, it was at my old job, I guess something with an applet but I could be making that up. :p

AF, you're right, but when I try to go to anything like that, it says something about mp3 content being blocked. No clue why or what that means in relation to how they blocked it though. BUT, they did just open up YouTube :D

LOVE them!! :)

Just as I read that her Dell'Amore Non Si Sa feat/Andrea Bocelli came up on Pandora.:)

Got it - it has to do with streaming content not being allowed. No fair.

Dispatch- who are we living for? and silent steeples these cds are both great
Guster I love them, but lost and gone forever is a fave
O.A.R. of courseeeee :)

It does affect your server speed, and if everyone at your company was running streaming content, your speed may be affected. Luckily, we had a server meant for about 500 computers running our 5 computers, so it doesn't make any difference at my work.;)

(in the tone of Napoloen Dynamite): Lucky!!!

Yeah, we got too many people surfing all day (real estate company, largest in town) and they're always talking about bandwith and server speed being slow. Sigh.

I used to listen to Pandora all of the time, then they moved all the office staff to WYSE terminals and now I can't stream anything without lots of delays and skipping. I want a real computer again!

Oh, and I really like the new Alison Krauss/Robert Plant album. Sounds like a wierd combo, but it's good.
