I'm still investigating Amos.<br /><br />GaGa deserves to be mentioned by anyone willing to sacrifice cool cred to do so.<br /><br />I don't quite like JVMcMorrow quite as much as you, but it's pretty good stuff nonetheless.<br /><br />I'm totally with you on Adele. That woman transcends categories because her voice is just that damn unique and good.<br /><br />A decent half-year for music, all things considered.Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15742351986773966649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-48244565902809568702011-07-13T10:06:47.018-04:002011-07-13T10:06:47.018-04:00Dr. Ken - Well, I'm a big believer in getting ...Dr. Ken - Well, I'm a big believer in getting a few songs for free, but if you like them, you should really buy the whole album. However, I've been known to "share" entire albums from time to time. <br /><br />Brahm - I love Stevie but what I've heard of her new album so far hasn't really grabbed me. Maybe I'll give it another shot.<br /><br />WWW - You say a lot of things that you think are important. ;)<br /><br />Malcolm - Yeah, I had high hopes for the new R.E.M. because the first few songs I'd heard had their old vibe, but I thought the album was just OK. Still, it gets a mention for some good songs and the guest appearance by Eddie Vedder. <br /><br />BAP - Eddie's album just came out in May, so don't feel too bad about not hearing it. But go listen to it now! <br /><br />Tennyson - Haven't heard it! I'll have to check that one out. <br /><br />Candy - You must have A.D.D.! I've talked of my gaga-ness over Gaga many, many times. <br /><br />Little Ms. Blogger - I used to be a concert whore too, but as you say, they're too expensive now. Although Arctic Monkeys just announced a show here and tickets are between $25-$35, so I should probably be able to swing that one. If this is your first time hearing them, you should definitely go back and check out the rest of their catalog. They're a great band.BeckEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119780316809151433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-25648962051993622592011-07-12T12:46:07.847-04:002011-07-12T12:46:07.847-04:00I will openly admit, I'm a concert whore (well...I will openly admit, I'm a concert whore (well, when I had $$ to go), but couldn't name the artist when a song is playing. So, I have only heard of 3 artists you mentioned.<br /><br />I love Amos Lee and will confess to shying away from Lady Gaga and Adele because of the media attention (ya know how people hype up a movie, you see it and it sucks) well, I avoid media press, but have to say, I listened to Adele and loved it. Lady Gaga still doesn't impress me, but have to say I LOVE Yuck and Arctic Monkeys. When I listened to both, I was immediately transported back to the 80s and my love the British punk sound.<br /><br />I'll now check out their albums - thanks for sharing.Little Ms Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208746635976950728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-33451697070148387242011-07-12T08:16:48.486-04:002011-07-12T08:16:48.486-04:00Suck it and see???

You said it perfectly - McMorrow's falsetto definitely has more emotion in it (and also I can mostly understand what he is singing, which is a lovely change). Have not tried out the new Iron & Wine, or The Wombats, but I will be doing that now. I also did not know that Eddie Vedder made an album of ukulele songs.
