favorite new songs

[fadingblue]

I dont know if this has been discussed before but i hope this can be used as a medium to find new music and to share your music tastes.

List your 5 favorite songs you discovered recently, not necessarily new but songs you started listening to in the past few days (weeks) and really like. Also write how you found it if you want to.

my top 5 (no order necessary):

1 Van She - Kelly (Through the Spectacles For Humans website)

2 Young Love - Discotech

3 The Rakes - Down With Moonlight

4 The Rakes - We Danced Together (Ive had this cd for almost a month but i liked these two songs a lot so theyre still in my daily rotation)

5 Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (My dad's had this song in his cd collection for a while and my friend recommended it so i looked it up and i really like it now)

[Carl]

Bonnie Prince Billy & Tortoise - Pancho

David Bowie - Sound and Vision

[Uinku]

Anything from 'The Whitest Boy Alive', I recommend this to anyone who likes Dior Homme's runway music.

[fadingblue]

if you like them, check out Erland Oye's (the lead singer's) solo albums as well as Kings of Convenience. Definitely Kings of Convenience.

lucinda williams-west

wailin jennys-firecracker

[fadingblue]

to add to my list:

Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (the whole cd)

Beatles - Strawberry fields forever, Penny Lane

kinda moving a way a bit from the gfunk and reggae

[JesseJB]

Kooks- Seaside

[Uinku]

if you like them, check out Erland Oye's (the lead singer's) solo albums as well as Kings of Convenience. Definitely Kings of Convenience.

I've DL'ed a few of their/his songs and I must say that I'm not really into it as 'The Whitest Boy Alive'. It seems that Kings of Convenience is more focused on the guitar, while TWBA more on the drums(drums>guitar in my opinion, it also kind of depends in what kind of mood you are I guess). Erland Oye's solo songs are good/fun! Thanks for the recommendation!
