I stumbled upon some new music in the last week and a half or so. While I haven't had a change to listen to everything, some songs have really stuck in my head.
The one that really stands out is "Voggubarnsins Mál" by Smárakvartettinn Á Akureyri. It was included on a compilation disc by Jonsi (from Sigur Ros) & Alex (Jonsi's boyfriend) called "Raindown My Favorite Songs".
It appears to be an icelandic hymn. I find it very soothing and peaceful - perfect for this weather (which happens to be cold and damp). I wish I could find a clip on the internet for it, but it seems to be rather obscure...
The rest of the CD is alright. There are some nice songs on it, though the above is still my favorite. Not all the songs are like this. In fact, I find the mood changes from one song to the next. Some are really old, like "Moon River" by Audrey Hepburn, "I can't believe you're in love with me" by Billie Holiday and "Parlez-moi d'amour" by Lucienne Boyer. I really like the Lucienne Boyer song as well...very old style french music :)
Other things that I have listened to recently:
Vitalic - Flashmob: yay! Vitalic has a new album out. I don't find that it sounds like their previous album, but still good electronic/electroclash music :D
Memory Tapes - Seek Magic: I've been listening to this one a lot lately. It falls into the same category as "Washed Out" for me - mellow electronic with some vocals. I like the CD on the whole, but I think my favorite song is "Run Out" (which I can't find a clip for either :( ).
Anyhow, as the rainy, autumn days are here, I think listening to Type O Negative's "October Rust" would be fitting. Here's ending my post with my two favorite songs "Love you to death" (I particularly like the ending where he repeats "am I good enough"):
and "Green Man":
Until next time :)
