New Tunes

I am back from a week off on vacation and find it hard to get back into my previous groove with the number of active projects and how quickly things move when you miss a day – let alone a full week of mail and meetings.

I at least have some fresh tunes to keep things lively on my iPod…

Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I Am Thats What I Am Not

I read about these guys in the NYT earlier in the week and I am very pleased with my first listen of these British punk rockers. The sound is clean and the songs infectious.

Cat Power – The Greatest

A really nice and deep sound for Cat, which is a change from some of her earlier works. I really dig this Memphis soul sound

Matisyahu – Shake Off the Dust… Arise and also Live at Stubbs

I had caught Matisyahu on Sirius while driving, but was not able to imprint the name, even on a second pass on another drive. It was not until I caught a Conan O’Brien appearance about two weeks ago, that things finally clicked. Matisyahu is Hasidic Jew Reggae singer and has to be heard to be understood. I find myself in a great mood with each listen. There’s a new release (Youth) coming in March and I’ll definitely be looking to get it as soon as it’s released.
