Keeping It New - 2/18/05

Okay, this one was from Friday (note the date above, jason. duh.). Anyway, I've picked up a bunch of new discs lately and I decided to play a sampling of stuff from them. It turned out pretty well but I didn't make it through them all and I got sidetracked a couple of times and I was a bit leary of playing a few songs for fear of swear words (not during safe-harbor hours, you know) not that that prevented a few choice words from slipping through anyway.

That Femmes song is great. I remember this most about the Femmes (well, first that I first heard it at Camp Chingachgook) that I never think I know as many of their songs as I really do and if you get a chance to see them live you should. You will not be disappointed.

I'm addicted to Kelly Clarkson. I can't tell you why (I honestly don't know) but I am and I'm reveling in it.

The Donnas rock the pants off just about every band making albums right now.

Brandy, J-Lo, Marvin, Angie, Whitney. It's all about the voices. Actually with J-Lo it's also about the butt, the body - the whole package and with Whitney (as anyone who knows me can tell you) it's about her being super-sexy. And I love Brandy. If the next guy she marries turns out to be a dick to her too, I'm available. And how shocked was I about that guy from Moesha getting killed in a car crash?

Ricky Fante's album is so good everybody should own at least one copy. How this guy slipped under the radar I'll never understand.

Kasey Chambers' voice is angelic. I can't say it enough (which is obvious to anyone who reads this blog). Get her stuff.

Sade is not only among the sexiest women on the planet, her voice totally melts me. Everything she touches smolders.

And The Dead Milkmen are officially the best band I'll never get to see live (one member - guitarist, I think - died last year).
