Need Your iTunes Help
Thursday, September 22, 2005 at 11:36AM
So now that I have my computer back, and have to travel again for a few days this weekend, I'm realizing that I haven't heard much new music in a long time. So I need your help. Here's the plan:
I'm going to spend ten bucks at the iTunes store tonight. You will pick the songs. After I listen to them, I'll leave my thoughts on each one. Each person gets to offer one song. Leave it as a comment. I'll buy the first ten songs posted that I don't already own. So even if there's more than ten songs left, feel free to add another suggestion, I might get to it. I'm looking forward to the new tunes...

Robbie Seay Band - "Hallelujah God is Near," and pick up "Better Days" for free until tomorrow.
anything by the band athlete
"Melancholy Polly" by Allison Moorer
"Mr. Sunshine" Lori McKenna
"For What It's Worth" The Cardigans
Of course, if you read Paste you already know all those...
Stained Glass Masquerade by Casting Crowns
the david crowder band has a 3 song ep up as a preview for their new album that drops on tuesday. i'm digging what i've heard so far.
'past the mission' - tori amos (featuring trent reznor) from her album 'under the pink'
Freedom Hangs Like Heaven - Iron & Wine - Woman King EP
I'm really digging the Magic Numbers. The song "this love" is really good. That's my recommendation.
Sounds silly, but try "Somewhere over the rainbow / what a wonderful world" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Simple and beautiful.
Doubting Thomas- NIckel Creek
Clumsy Card House- Blue October
Pilotdrift - Bubblecraft
After seeing Keane last night... how about "This Is The Last Time" or "Your Eyes Open" by Keane?
"Choose The One Who Loves You More" or "No One Really Wins" by Copeland
"Suspension" or "The Ocean" by Mae
"Mercy Will Prevail" or "To Rescue Me" by The Choir
That's all good stuff
High and Dry (as covered by) Jamie Cullum
Not exactly new, but still pretty good.
It looks as if the limit has been reached. I will make my plug anyways.
Download anything by Sufjan Stevens. A song off his new album Illinoise would be a good choice. He is playing at the Mercy Lounge on Friday. I can't wait!!! In my humble opinion he is the best thing I have heard in a long, dang time.
"Blow It Out" by The Features... some good, fun Tennessee alternative rock.
How about something from "Over the Rhine" off of their "Drunkard's Prayer" CD?
Crap, I'm way out of the running, but maybe having the exact iTMS URL will help my cause to plug http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=25511286&s=143441&i=25511282" rel="nofollow">Hem's "Pacific Street" off of Eveningland.
"Penelope" by Pinback
"Bad Day" by Daniel Pewter
"Different" by Acceptance
both where free downloads many months ago......got to love the free stuff........still worth 99 cents
You probably already have this but if you don't...
"Passenger Side" by Wilco, A.M.
It's a great on the road song!
Wow, this could be interesting. Just remember Andy: Be more tactful than I would be.
Anything by Andrew Peterson. Perhaps you've heard of him?
Rhett Miller's "World Inside The World"
I can't believe this many people never post any comments, it's like a whole new community...Hey Guys!!!
"Truly, Truly" by Grant Lee Buffalo
