Finally got the Matt Costa cd's i wanted. i somehow lost the ones i already had on my comp. but anyway i got the albums titled "Songs we sing"(one of my favs the one i know the best) "unfamiliar faces" and "matt costa ep". matt costa is really a great artist, you will really like him if your into people like jack johnson donavin frankenwritter ben harper etc. Matt costa is great but ill be honest he is kind of weird. he has some really good chill talented music and then he has some mega weird stuff so dont let just a few songs turn you away from him. some of my favortites by him are
On Songs we sing:
Yellow taxi
Cold december
sunshine (probably his most famous)
sweet rose
astair
on Unfamiliar Faces
miss magnolia (love this song)
mr. pitiful (like the acoustic version of this way better than the album recording you can find it acoustic on you tube type in matt costa mr. pitiful kfog archives
on Matt costa Ep
movin on
It suprise me how steathily he is "twangy" like i was saying about norman blake a few posts back im tellin you you have no idea how much of this twangy bluegrass stuff is showin up in music and you would be suprised how much you can appreciate it. Not sure i posted this name or track but if you like matt costa you will like the song me and julio down by the school yard by paul simon on negotiations and love songs. great track that just popped into my head but also on the more serious songs like astair matt costa does that is sort of like a beautiful lullaby paul simon aslo has those on the same album try something so right and st. judy's commet. both GREAT songs and they fit really well in the same ball park as matt costas lullaby style songs. again if you want to hear any of these songs just youtube them.

aslo on this same tagent of music i just barley ripped strait from you tube the album oh mighty engine by Neil Halstead. I heard neil halstead at the jack johnson concert like the opening show for the people who were opening for the people who were opening for jack johnson haha so yeah totally small artist pretty sure he is super underground still (could be wrong considering i dont know the radio trends very well) but yeah i was probably the only one listening to him while he played and i remember really likin it he was just him himself playin acoustic and it was really good. anyway i couldnt find any of his albums on my UK websites or even on any "other" websites the only place i could find him was youtube so yeah. i think he is from england. ANYWAY his music is really good i would check out his albums. The thing about him is is he really is the chillest artist i have ever heard.. ever. infact i thought i would never say this but maybe to chill. these songs would be like sick for a bonfire. but MAJOR MELLOW music but yeah here are some of my favorites from the album oh mighty engine
On oh might engine
baby i grew you a beird
oh mihgy engine
and many more but yeah check him out for sure this totally seems like something justin nickle would like so susy if you actually read these tell him or i will when i see him in a week ha

As you may have noticed im getting pretty interested in this trip hop and acid jazz. i got an album by "thievery corporation" and they are a great band in this genre. i got the album radio retailiation. From what i have heard (listening to it right now :) ) its really cool. Really unique like most of this music is however it still sticks to the familiar base of most music... like although its out there it still isnt like so bizzare you cant listen to it which in some other bands of this genre they are good but just so bizzare you really have to listen to enjoy. this album would be great for like homework... or.. tripping on acid.

MMMMM hans zimmer hi. i really love him but i think alot of it has to be credited to the fact i love film scores. In addition to the recent addition (that was cool) of lion king and kung fu panda (both AWESOME) i also got the cod4:2 soundtrack (modern warfare two) and there are like a billion tracks but they are pretty good. i also forgot that i have the black hawk down soundtrack he did as well. i also got the pirates of the caribean at world ends sound track he did. i was trying to get the last samuri to but it didnt work out. Another film score i really want (not hans zimmer) is the march of the penguins soundtrack. i have heard one or two pieces from it and its pretty good i would suggest checking it out. i have never seen the movie tho. and of course we cant forget one of the best film scores of all time... lotr done by howard shore i like the first movies score the best. even if your one of those people with the mind of a two year old and couldnt appreciate the films of lotr, you will still like the soundtrack i promise.

AHHHH (more music for 8/30)

FML i just typed a big effing paragraph and it got erased. here we go again. one of my favorite top 5 albums (top 5 is a huge deal to me) is the thicker than wather soundtrack. its the soundtrack from the film thicker than water that jack johnson did. its really good. one track really sticks out to me and thats rainbow. its the second track i believe. well last time when it all got erased it typed all about how i got into blues music and how artists and songs can be bridges. well screw writing that out again. also i talked about the movie thicker than water and brokedwon melody. youll just have to check them out on your own cuz i aint typin all that again. but a thankyou to justin nickle who owns all those surf movies and got me into them. the reason im not typin all this out again is cuz the soundtrack to kungfu panda just finished downloading!!!! i have wanted this for so long and i finally got it and am loving every moment of this hans zimmer did yet again a more than perfect job. i love it how he can capture the apitimy of what you would think the spirit of a country or land would be like. such as in lion king it just seems to be african (when in reality its pretty far of from african music) but it seems to capture such a beautiful spirt i just love it and cant get enough of it now i have the asian end. yes this is so good mmmm and i have lots more hans zimmer on the way and i new pandora of him.

More music for today 8/30

Was listening to some of my sunday favorites and remembered a really good fav of mine although i only like a few of his songs... but i know its only a matter before it all grows on me and i understand it all. but anyway its norman blake. the orem public library has TONS of his albums and although its like country/blue grass like tenesse style its still shockingly good and you would be amazed at how similar it is to music that you would listen to and consider "chill". anyway my fav album by him is slow train throuhg georgia. you really have to get over the twangy bluegrass style but once you do you will love it. again, i only like a few tracks from this album because its so country and i typically dont listen to country but like i said its really similar to music you would listen to. anyway, check out the tracks called slow train through georgia, and spanish fandango(this one is an instramental) little joe, and there are a few other good ones on here but really if i was to slip an instramental from him on a chill cd i made and gave it to someone i can gurantee it would be a fav track you just have to get over the country vibe. but anyway start with spanish fandango its a really beautiful piece. Also, cant beet motab on the sabbath as well.

todays music

Got a few more albums today. only im finding i need more time to jam!

I got 3 albums from pete rock & c.l. smooth. these guys are really good and i dont know how i havent heard of them before like a month ago. but anway they have some really good tracks my favorite is take you there by pete rock on.. not sure i got it off of a album called the ninth wonder somthin. anyway just youtube it and youll be sure to find it. its a pretty solid track and its my fav by them atleast from what i have heard so far. but i got the albums titled "petestramentals" "soul survivor" "the surviving elements" "mecca & soul brother" "the main ingredient." which i guess is more than three albums my bad haha. but anyway got some others but until i listen to them to bad. but pete rock and cl smooth are sort of a more positive tip hip hop group but yet they have a unique sound in the p-tip world. check em out it will be worth your time.

Todays music

Today got some good new music
a bunch of new albums. first, i finally got the album by jack johnson titled en concert. sad i just got it? yes. but F braden lanham who promised to let me barrow it. its a great cd im a HUGE jj fan but it always pisses me off to see songs by him that were underground come up on his albums. i liked them better when people werent always playing them in the cars and stuff. but anyway, good to hear them he did a great job. like the original recordings of home and country road way better tho.

Also, i got 4 different albums from bizmarkie today. havent listened to to many of them yet but i see some of my favorites on there including "vapors" and "throw back". both are super sick and worth you tubing for sure.

Also, got deleirums album titled chimera. SUPER SICK havent listened to the hole thing all the way thru yet but they are a lot like zero 7 and i cant get enough of this acid jazz and trip hop (this cd is a lil more trip hop tho) but it has one of my favorite tracks ever on there called "stopwatch harts" super sick amazing track its on the cd i gave to suzy called underwater only im not sure the full version is on there. you should totally check that song out on you tube tho

Also, got frank sinatras greatest hits cd. need i explain? he is sick and thats all there is to it.

Also, "martina topley bird"s album titled the blue god. havent listened to this album to much but from what i have heard its pretty good. also a song on there that was also on susans album "underwater" that i gave her. the one by these guys is her favortie she told me titled "i still feel" its a pretty good song.

Also, finally got the J5 quality control album long story as to why i havent had it this hole time considering they are favorites. but yeah j5 in generall is bomb.

Anyway, thats today. check them out i hope to get some time to listen to all this all the way thru a few times
