Gorillaz new album, Plastic Beach.

Bobby Womack, Mos Def, (most of) The Clash, and more. So Good!

[Aggie]

How's that new Gorillaz? Heard good things but haven't heard.


About time you got into the Clash.  Joe Strummer pretty much said everything that needed to be said in punk (and Fat Mike filled in the rest, including a few things that didn't need to be said  ).

Hey, I love the clash. I've only really hear Combat Rock, but that seems to be a fairly definitive album.

The CD actually just has the guitarist and bassist.... the only name I remember right now is Paul Simonon.

It's a great album. It might be their best one yet, though I probably still personally prefer the sound of their first album. It's more alt/punk/electronic and less hip-hop, which is good in my opinion. Though the hip-hop is, as always, very good.

Have you heard the live version of Straight To Hell from the documentary about Glastonbury?

[Aggie]

Haven't heard that live version.

I'd personally disagree on Combat Rock (never caught my attention) - get your hands on their s/t (actually punk) and London Calling, those are gems.

First, I was listening to my new-fav, Sara Bareilles, Little Voices from 2007. 

Then I listened to a compilation by her and Ingrid Michaelson, a song named Winter Song from 2008.

Now, I'm listening to Ingrid Michaelson's Everybody.

Of the two women, I like the complexity of Michaelson's album a tad bit better than Bareilles'.

However, I think I prefer Bareilles' voice a wee bit over Michaelson's.

What's cool about both these women, is they bootstraped themselves into actual professional music by using self-publishing.

Kudos to both.

Edit:  Michaelson is definitely better at creating complex music, if a sample of one(1) each is any judge.

The Difference - Matchbox Twenty.

I've got two albums by them, Mad Season and More Than You Think You Are. It's scary how good every single song is. Rob Thomas is a madman.
