With law school bearing its pinstriped Brooks Brothers fangs and Bluestate not the matter of constant musical concern it once was for me, it's getting increasingly embarrasing to answer music surveys like those from N.M. and DCeiver. My most recent CD download was Sufjan Stevens' Illinois, which sits in my car gathering dust. I haven't been listening to the radio and I haven't tested my new law school friends for trendiness and the ability to get a new album two months in advance.
That being said, let's see what iTunes says I listen to most often:
Belle and Sebastian, "Legal Man" (heh.)
The Jam, "Start!"
Ambulance Ltd., "Yoga Means Union"
Of Montreal, "Requiem for O.M.M. 2"
Fugazi, "Waiting Room"
Enon, "Litter in the Glitter"
Mario Castro Neves & Samba SA, "Candomble"
Mary Prankster, "Tits and Whiskey"
Black Keys, "10 A.M. Automatic"
Missy Elliot vs. Joy Division, "Love Will Freak Us"
Yep, not much new, interesting or hot in here, except for that random Brazillian tune. One of these days, I'll need to get in my car, for paper clips or something, and I'll get to listen to Sufjan. In the meantime, I'm gonna download N.M. and DCeiver's tunes.
You have no idea how pleased I am to see that my efforts on the part of brazilian music are finally paying off.
excellent choices, as always. that's a really good ambulance ltd track... so good live. looking forward to seeing them again in september. if you find any cool law school friends, you should find out if they're touring in chicago, and go.
