BB King and Bill Withers. I’ve got my blues-y soul on today.

The Decemberists – if you’re in the mood for story songs with extensive vocabulary. They have a new album out at the end of next month.

Ludacris. He seems to be the one artist that I really enjoy right now.

What kind of music are you looking for? Give us some artists to go by maybe . . . or a direction you want to head.

Flaming Lips (either soft bulletin or yoshimi battles the pink robots)

If you’re into hard rock you need to do yourself a favor and go pick up You Come Before You by Poison the Well and put it in the gym folder of your iPod. The new Senses Fail is also awesome. Lupe Fiasco, the new Emery EP, Yellowcard, Oh Sleeper, The Almost, and Finch should all be owned by you.

Just downloaded Michael Franti and Spearhead from 11/22/08. So far so good. Before that, it was some Belle and Sebastian, “Push Barman to Open Old Wounds.”
