Music To My Ears!
Tuesday, November 6, 2007
I seriously polished off a 32 ounce box of Cookies and Cream (Light/LowFat) Ice cream in 3 days and Lost 3 pounds. Go Lien Genes!
It's a very light week on new music as well - so here we go (albiet very late!)
Dust Galaxy (Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation) - Dust Galaxy:
Psychedelic / Funk / Electronica
Surprisingly not horrible. I heard Phish for some reason - and we all know how much I love Phish. I guess when paired with Psychedelic and Electronica, Dub is better thank Funk.... Stick to Thievery Corp.
Wyclef Jean - The Carnival II: Memoirs of an Immigrant
Hip Hop / R&B / Reggae
It's Wyclef. Need you Ask? He had me at Gone Til' November. He remains consistently delicious with every album. So yeah - you should listen - and yes you should like it. Done and.... DONE.
Alicia Keys - As I Am
R&B / Soul / Blues
I think this is slated for release in America next tuesday (11/13) but i have it on my list now - so i guess you get a week's early bird start. I Can't remember why I don't like her - but I don't for some reason or another --- I think it's more a personality thing that her music tho. Strong R&B beats - killer voice. Hell, I even like her new duet with John Mayer - I wouldn't actively go out and buy this tho because she irritates me. Go figure...
Sigur Ros - Hvarf/Heim
Visual
Yessssssssss. Sigur Ros = SOOO GOOD. I started listening back my sophomore year of college. Hello! Singing with sound. Kind of gives you room to interpret your own way and insert whatever words you think might fit. I have to imagine little icelandic children everywhere are cooing as they fall asleep to this beautiful music. Think... the most relaxing sound you've ever heard - stretched out on a sleeping bag on the floor under christmas lights. I'm sure most of you have heard of this --- if not - check them out. I promise you wil like.

I'm from Denver, CO. I love to travel - both alone and with friends - explore new places and really learn the personality of a city. I own my own PR firm and offer support to creative professionals including authors, musicians and small business. My husband writes and performs live music (often for kids at local libraries in town), and we have a little boy who loves to travel as much as we do.
