I was feeling in a Kelly Clarkson mood today, so I broke out "Breakaway" and cranked up my favorite songs from that CD.

I love that CD! It reminds me of an amazing summer I had in Greece. Walk Away, Since U Been Gone and Gone are amazing!

I'm in a Juno soundtrack mood. Love "Anyone Else But You"(sung by Moldy Peaches. Ellen Page and Michael Cera sing it in the movie too) and "All I Want is You"( sung by Barry Louis Polisar)

6 songs from Madonna's new album leaked and they're freakin AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ryan, have you heard any of the songs by the new CW-series-formed band, Girlicious? They're alright, although I dont see how we're meant to invest in them when we know that whenever a great track hits Robin Antin or Geffen they'll give PCD first dibs.

Hmm....I can see that I might be a little out of place in this thread.

I grew up on country music, and I think everyone knows how that has recently gone all to crap. Well, "recently" within the last decade. (Though I still love Joe Nichols, who has that old country vibe, and Brad Paisley, as long as he isn't singing about ticks.)

However, a couple of years ago (on the wonder of social networking that is MySpace), I "met" a musician by the name of Levi Weaver. He is an amazing musician and more importantly (in my book) lyricist. He found a fan in Imogen Heap (also worth checking out), who invited him along on her tour of the US and Canada after he was selected to open for her show in Birmingham, England. In the beginning of this year, he released his first full-length album "You Are Never Close to Home, You Are Never Far From Home" and I think it is a masterpiece. He's doing this whole musician thing on his own (starving artist and all) and is currently touring the West Coast all by himself, booking shows and driving around. You can check out his music here (www.leviweaver.com), here (www.myspace.com/leviweaver), here (http://www.thesixtyone.com/leviweaver/), and purchase his music on cdbaby.com or iTunes.

I have to also credit Levi with opening me up to quite a bit of the music I listen to now, including:

Ryan Adams
Josh Ritter
Sondre Lerche
Matisyahu...etc.

I also enjoy:

Anna Nalick
A Fine Frenzy
All the great rock (Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, Guns N Roses, and so on)

My favorite artist (not counting Levi, I should probably say...) is Derek Webb. I first became a fan of his when he was with his former band Caedmon's Call (which he is currently touring with as he collaborated on their last album), and then I have enjoyed him even more as he has branched out on his own. His most recent work, which has met with great reviews, is an EP he did with his wife (fellow singer/songwriter) Sandra McCracken. Their EP, Ampersand, can be heard (and/or purchased) here: http://www.ampersandep.com/

My most recent music download was the soundtrack from the movie "Once" -- I enjoyed the film, which is about two strangers who meet and make a CD together, and so, obviously the music was central to the plot. I have been enjoying listening to that as well.

I'm forgetting things, but this is a pretty solid introduction to my music library!

I love 'Livin on a Prayer' by Bon Jovi(currently listening to it) My cousin actually thinks of it as the Jersey shore theme song

[Ryan]

"Never Had A Dream Come True" by S Club 7

[Kristin]

Daughtry's CD is so amazing..Every song on it is great!!!!

[Laurie]

My new favorite song is "Only You" by Josh Kelley

[Ryan]

"Time of My Life" by David Cook

Ya'll can download it here: http://www.zshare.ne...420258560f073a/

[blosslover]

[D_wsb]

ooo thank ya

i've been listening to Corinne Bailey Rae lately.. i needed something mellow

[Amanda]

I am quite attached to Ryan Adams.

Although, lately, with the news of the NKOTB comeback, I have felt the need to put on some Backstreet Boys from time to time. Talk about two different ends of the spectrum!

[Iwa Diva]

Hee - I bought all of David Cook's final performances off of itunes. I really wanted the one with ZZ Top but they don't have it! *sobs*

I need new dance music - something peppy - any recommendations?

[Amanda]

I love to dance and I can dance to anything from Jack Johnson to AC/DC. Often when I just want to shake it around a bit, I'll put on Matisyahu (Live at Stubbs).

[Ryan]

I think I'm in love with Colbie Caillat. Her music speaks to me.....

"Realize" by Colby Caillat is my new favorite song.

[D_wsb]

Heard 'Realize' first and later did I know she did Bubbly

Perfect mvids for J&R and L&L2

[blosslover]

If there was one recording you'd suggest to listen to what would it be? At my job, I can't listen to music on-line, but I have a CD player. The radio in my area is bad, though I must admit I enjoy when one station plays 80s music.

youtube had some new reccomended videos for me today. 2 of them were from Jay Brannan. If you haven't heard him go to www.youtube.com/jaybrannan you won't be disapointed.

But one of them was a song by Kate Nash and I didn't know who she was so I searched and she is pretty good here is one of her songs that I thought was amusing. It isn't just amusing it is a really good song.
