I have really inspired lately to listen to as much new music as I can. Part of this is the anticipation of the new album, but also I feel like my apathy towards pop music world is starting to thaw. In recent weeks I have discovered some artists and some albums that I really love. In many ways, these and others have always been there, but I have searched them out. There is something uniquely rewarding about finding something new or even new to you. I would like to start an ongoing discussion about what else is inspiring you or finding its way into your CD player. So here, informally, and in no order are some artists and CD's that I think the rest of you should check out.
Known about for a while, and love:
1. Matthew Good: Formerly of the Matthew Good Band, a Vancouver artist that may be my second favorite artist next to U2. Check out the following albums: Avalanche, Beautiful Midnight, Audio of Being.
2. Chris Cornell, Euphoria Morning: Try this solo album out for size. A brief insight into post soundgarden-pre audioslave Chris Cornell, perhaps my favorite of his work.
3. Aimee Mann, Lost in Space: This is a phenomenal album.
Just discovered:
1. Butterfly Boucher, Flutterby: Hands down the best album I have bought in years.
2. Charlie Mars: Check this guy out..many comparisons to Bono.
Please feel free to list things that have inspired you. I am looking to expand my horizons, I feel reinvigorated.
