John put me on to this site a few days ago… I’m still trying to work out what it is exactly, but it looks rather interesting. This post however is to get me a copy of the new Keane CD, which I want, but probably wouldn’t go out and buy straight away as I spend far too much money at JBHiFi.

Thought I’d share several musical loves.
I first heard Emiliana Torrini when I was on a young adults camp… someone was playing it through their Ipod and I was compelled to find the person who could tell me who it was (since I couldn’t locate the Ipod). That person was Geoff, back before I really got to know him…
Cutesy romantics aside, it’s lovely stuff and the new, Me and Armini is stronger than Fisherman’s Woman.
Holly Throsby, let’s give it to the Aussies, this is some clear, unrefined happy stuff for your ears. I am in danger of over playing parts of it.
It has the potential to be annoying in the Australianismness, but sits in that space of being different enough that it passes.
I’m also a fan of the cover art.
Frou Frou. An older favourite. Thanks to Garden State (oh my what a movie for musical introductions!).
Must be played when the weather is fine and things are nice. Car trips up the mountain for enjoyable days alone pretty much require this one. Must be Dreaming is bliss.
I don’t indulge all that often over lunches, but when the place smells kind, feels warm, offers a heated pumpkin, bococcini, pesto foccacia, along with a mean and attractive coffee, friendly efficient service and then tops it off with the Amelie soundtrack, you’ve got to be just a little bit in love.
A long while back I mentioned the New Zealand film Eagle Vs. Shark, the other day Geoff somehow got onto Flight of the Conchords (One of the same guys as the film) – it makes for utterly hilarious music, I love it! Apparently it’s gotten big real quick. Great sound!
I’m currently finding quirky narrative songs quite hilarious. So in the vein of Kate Nash and the lovely naive sounding stuff from the Juno soundtrack… have some Soko (accoustic version) – it’s actually quite a bitter song and probably that’s an understatement… but still hilarious and she’s French so we’ll overlook it.
