ma liste, enfin

• Ok, I am not great at ranking things, but I rule at making lists... So here is a list of albums I am into right now. I have no clue if they came out this year or last year (some aren't out yet, oops) whatever, they make me feel good. Please remember I am not a music writer. It is really difficult for me to describe music, or why I like it. You will notice that Mark and I do have different taste, sometimes. Alors, voilà...
  · Jenny Lewis, Rabbit Fur Coat (the Handle with Care cover is extremly enjoyable)
  · Antony and the Johnsons, I am a bird Now (I crave this album- like chocolate)
  · The mates of State, the new one (?) (feels great and I can really get down to these songs)
  · CocoRosie, la maison de mon rêve (beautiful, folksie, and Frenchie)
  · The Bell Orchestre, Recording a tape the colour of light (Great to listen to as you work or drive... not for everyone)
  · The Arcade Fire, The Arcade Fire (again, I can listen to this anytime. maybe an all-time fave. it makes doing dishes go by faster, too)
  · Sigur Ros, Takk
  · Godspeed You Black Emperor, Lift your skinny wrists like antennas to heaven (amazing sometimes melancholic instrumental music. the way it builds and climaxes is slightly sexual, I think. ..it's a fantastic release. again, it's best for me when i am grading or driving. ..but not w/ mark, he's not a fan)
  · Sufjan Stevens, Illinoise
  · Damien Rice, O
  · Bright Eyes, Fevers and Mirrors (probably my favorite, I can always listen to it)
  · Belle & Sebastian, Your cover's blown (They rarely disappoint. Hopefully Sarah and I will see 'em in Dallas)
  · M.Ward, Transfiguration of Vincent ( I klike the new one, too. I dig the analogue die-hards and his voice, wow- so rare)
  · Davendra Banhart, Rejoicing in the Hands (not new- I know, but so good)
  · Fionna Apple, Extraordinary Machine (song #3- very empowering)
• The fiery furnaces, I like the last two albums
  

I feel like I am leaving someone out. i didn't mention the stuff like iron & wine 'cause you can look @ mark's blog everyother day and read that. (i love you, baby) I listened to a lot of Ani, the shins, and yo la tengo over the summer, but I haven't listened to them much lately.
I can't wait to find some Deerhoofs (grâce à vosse) Other albums I want to check out are...
· Cat Power, The Greatest (OMG that voice)
· Tortoise and Bonnie Prince Billy, The Brave and the Bold (I just discovered Tortoise)
· The elected, Sun, sun, sun
· The John Fahey tribute album
· the mars volta, frances the mute
· vashti bunyan, lookafter
· dungen, ta det lugnt
Again, there could be more- I am open to suggestions.
I hope Mark is having a good time at G-love & special sauce.
bonne nuite.
