recommend music!

now that i am not so full up with baby internally, i have the interest, capacity, & hunger for new music. and since i've decided to stop my itunes buying so i have the tangible album in hand, we might have to get creative. best buy is the only CD retailer in our area. anyhow...we stopped there this weekend & bought two albums that i recommend:

andrew bird--armchair apocrypha
the arcade fire--neon bible

got any recommendations for this music-hungry mama?!

i've really been enjoying Amy Winehouse lately... not exactly "uplifting" lyrically, but great rhythmically.

they tried to make me go to rehab, but i said, no, no, no.....

i can't get that song out of my head, thanks to Alicia. :-)

you know, that album goes PERFECTLY with a beehive. it's got that 60s soul vibe.

caron said...

are you knocking my secret love for sandi patty, corrie?

DID THE GRASS SING?
DID THE EARTH REJOICE TO FEEL YOU AGAIN?!

DID THE EARTH SEEM TO POUND HE IS RISEN?!

i prefer "Easter Song" by the a capella group, Glad. remember this KGBI hit, circa 1990?

Hear the bells ringing / They're singing / That you can be born again.....

Hear the bells ringing / They're singing / Christ is risen from the dead....

Oh man.

Well, seeing as you are into the Canadian music scene a bit with the neon bible I would reccomend Julie Doiron - I woke myself up.

Hi Caron, you probably have no idea who I am. Corrie brought me to Thanksgiving oh so many years ago. But, I do have a music suggesstion. Two actually. Anything recent by Jason Upton, you can google him. Or, Jonathan Stockstill who is with Bethany Church, he's a google 2. Hope you look into it, and enjoy!!

amy!! we were just talking about you (seeing if u still do taxes...hehe). thanks 4 the reccomends. send some pics of amelia & your other kiddo (a son, right?). hope you guys are doing well!

Amy said...

Yes, I still do taxes. Sadly I have no idea how to send pictures to anything but an e-mail. Can I send them to a blog? I'm a computer illiterate loser. By the way, totally about pee'd my pants when I read the tampon vs. pad story!!

Amy said...

I just went to Jason Upton's website and the album I'm in love with is titled Faith, you can listen to the songs from the website. I don't really know the other albums.
