Music recommendations again

To everyone who liked Anna Nalick: try KT Tunstall, Tina Dico, and Over the Rhine. Excellent stuff, if you go for altos-with-guitars (and of course I do). Anything else in that vein I should check out? I’m always on the hunt for things I can sing to on the way to work.

Anna Nalick has a song on the Desperate Housewives soundtrack, which I wouldn’t have picked up for its association with the show, but there seems to be some nice stuff there. I’ll report back when I’ve heard more than the 30-second iTunes clips.

To everyone who likes Ivy: have you heard Paco or Brookville? Both are side projects I’ve recently discovered. Paco is less dreamy, more rock; Brookville is Andy Chase on his own, basically doing Ivy’s smooth thing but a little less girly.

Edited to add: Hey! Rosey is back online, and seems to have a new album coming out soonish! You can listen to a few of the tracks at myspace and purevolume. Can’t believe how long it’s been since Dirty Child; I loved that CD to pieces.

In other news, ‘tis the season of Cadbury chocolate! O happy me. Have a good Easter, everyone.

  1. See, I knew you were psychic! I’ve just been wondering what was good and Anna-Nalick-like. I think I’ve worn out that CD.

  2. I think I like Feist, too, but I’ve only heard one song all the way through (“Mushaboom”).

I’m addicted to the NYTimes maps this morning, especially the county bubble view. Hello, population distribution! It’s fascinating to compare this year to 2004.
