randoms of "new" music

falling down ... scarlett johansson [yeah, the actress. she has a strange eclectic voice. this album of ton waits covers is so weird. her voice is concrete blonde - ish and sounds nothing like her authentic old-timey voice she uses on pete yorn's record.]
for today i am a boy ... antony & the johnsons [this MtoF transexual sounds like edith piaff sometimes.]
sheela na gig ... pj harvey [pj has had a serious resurgence in my life. thank god. her debut record, dry is so unbelievable. anything from this record is a true gem.]
yellow ledbetter ... pearl jam [i got this 7-disc live at the gorge cd at the library. all 7 cd's are amazing. not easy to say about live recordings. pearl jam - i've been dying to see them live.]
trying my best to love you ... jenny lewis [this album is a lovely follow-up to her wonderful rabbit fur coat from a couple of years ago.]
say so ... uh-huh her [alice from the L word's band. i love alice, formally of lezzie bands gush and the murmurs. this record is pretty gay, so if yr a "bian" check this one out.]
fancy ... yeah yeah yeahs [i'm pretty much down with anything YYY's. this is not a cover of the country song.]
whiskey can can ... beck [yes it can can]
baligaga ... tricky [love his beats. kinda sexy.]
someday soon ... cowboy junkies [the first song i've ever heard that margo is not leading the vocals.]
christians inferno ... green day [21st century breakdown is good but no american idiot.]
daydreamer ... adele [i love this debut record by adele. her voice is amazing and the songs are beautiful and age appropriate.]
i feel it all ... feist [her music is always a journey for me.]
baba o'riley ... pearl jam
a bad sign ... michael penn [cool record in which he's taken on the persona of mr hollywood jr 1947]
paris is burning ... st. vincent [thanks jenn!]
rain check ... ani difranco [surprisingly just getting in to ani...i'm so behind!]
so fast, so numb ... r.e.m. [found one of my favorite r.e.m. records at the library. i lost this one in the divorce and it somehow never found it's way into the itunes library.]
georgia ... the 1900's [from daytrotter.com]
