Music: Some New, Some Old
To start with, I'm uber-frutrated because I lost the last 500 words I'd written when OpenOffice crashed on me. Bollocks. Luckily, some quick thinking prevented the entire thing from being lost, otherwise I'd be starting from scratch.
That aside, I've been listening to a lot of more rock-ish music lately, as I've been ready to listen to something with lyrics and not just the edm that I'm usually into. I've been listening to a combination of new and old, and here's a list of stuff I've been listening to lately:

New:
- Keane (bit of a cross between Coldplay and Radiohead)
- Imogen Heap
- The Tea Party
- U2 (especially older stuff)
- Radiohead
Xavier Rudd. Oldskool Ben Harper-esque, though he's a one man show, often kicking a bass drum playing guitar, singing, mixing in a digeredoo (Sp?).
Pilate, coldplay-esque.
Cinematic Orchestra, extremely jazzy downtempo, but closer to jazz than downtempo - wonderful!
tony: i checked out xavier rudd and cinematic orchestra, but haven't gotten my hands on pilate yet (apparently they've renamed themselves "pilot speed"). rudd is sweet, and i haven't checked out cinematic enough yet to get a feel for them yet...
speedygeoff: thanks for coming by. hope you dig keane, i sure have.
Tony... how interesting it is that you compare XRudd and BHarper? I dont see the similarities though. I do not have your Keane sense of musical prowness eh. Matt you could make Plans to listen to DeathCab but I would recommend some good old school emo tunes like Mineral, The Gloria Record or Christie Front Drive instead.
all the best
off to Africa
