Current musical obsessions…

 

City and Colour

I’ve been listening to Mr. Dallas Green for about the last 6 months, non-stop.  He has quickly gone from non-existant to #1 on my last.fm top artists list.  His music is great car, chill out, or my favorite, bedtime music.  

One of several Myspace Transmission videos you can find up on Youtube.  See more on MurderNouveau’s Youtube channel.

St. Vincent

I’ve been a fan of St. Vincent for a little over a year, but with the release of the new album, Actor, I’ve noticed a resurgence of listening on my part.  I like the new album,  particularly the track “Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood”, but my heart still belongs to Marry Me (espeically on vinyl).  The video for her first single off the new album, “Actor Out of Work” can be found over at my favorite music blog, Pasta Primavera.  Annie Clark is one of the musicians that guys swoon over and girls would go gay for (yes, I’m one of those girls).

There is an excellent video on Vimeo of St. Vincent performing live at Other Music in Oct 2008.

The Weakerthans

Is it possible NOT to be obsessed with The Weakerthans?  Reunion Tour and Left & Leaving are my two favorite albums, and just so happen to be on my daily work playlist.  In addition to the videos on their official website, I reccommend checking out the live videos over at twoschedule.com.
