What "New" Music or Musicians/Artists are you listening to these days...

[Blue Meanie]

There was a thread about "Guilty Pleasures" here in the General Buzz section and I can't seem to find it....anyway, the new music/musician/artist I've been listening to is linked to a guilty pleasure of mine. I've been watching the show on ABC Family that was on the WB when it originally aired called "What I Like About You" with Jennie Garth (Beverly Hills 90210) and came across an musician/singer/songwriter by the name of Dave Barnes. In one of the episodes his song "Until You" is sung by one of the other characters on the show. When I went to look up the name of the actor that sang the song on the show nothing came up. So I went to a couple of websites and finally found out who sang the song...Turns out this guy Dave Barnes was the original singer and songwriter of this song and that he had 3 albums out. Bought it off of ebay and I can say it is the best 6 bucks I ever spent on a CD. The CD is really incredible. Reminds me of a cross between Paul Carrack (Squeeze) and John Mayer. Influence are a wide spectrum of music. From Jamariquai to The Eagles to Bobby Caldwell to George Benson. This guy touches on almost every style of music on the CD. Gospel, Power Pop, Ballads, Blues and just plain old funk. The name of the CD is "Me + You + The World". Anyone else have any "New" music you are listening to??

Being forced to listen to it is one thing...liking it is a whole other story

Seriously though...anything anyone pick up just by listening to the radio...I know radio sucks these days...but there are some great alternative radio stations that have been playing some stuff that is not common everyday garbage. All I have to say is thank God for the last of the college radio stations left here in New York WFUV/Fordham University. No commercials...just music. I never would have thought that I would be happy to donate money to a radio station...but this station is worth listening to. I'd have to say about 95% of what I've bought in the last few years has been due to the station's eclectic music that it plays.

[toys2cool]

That's the thing after being forced to listen to it you end up singing it and kind of liking it

I haven't really heard anything too good lately, except maybe Taylor swift and some Rihanna

[Blue Meanie]

Wilco is the other band I hear a lot on WFUV...been meaning to pick up there latest CD. Don't know how new of a band they are...but they have a "classic" feel to their stuff.

Michael Franti and Spearhead are played a lot on WFUV as is Gov't Mule. Interesting Ska-Like group. I have the Govt. Mule Promo with their version of the Beatles "She Said"...which is incredible.

I was thinking of getting an HD Radio for the house...just to get FUV in clearer. Been listening to it for about 7 years now...and I can truthfully say that I don't miss Pop/Dinosaur Rock radio one bit. Dinosaur Rock radio has made me hate groups like Led Zep, Rush, AC/DC and others. It's the same old crap every day on those stations. You can even tell what song they are going to play at a particular time of the day...it's just pathetic.

here are some of the others I have bought from listening to FUV:

Racontours
Cold War Kids
Ray Lamontagne
Joan Osbourne Had her first CD...but if you want to hear a great CD by her get the one called "How Sweet It Is"
Rufus Wainright
Adele
Amy Winehouse
Brandy Carlisle
Raul Midon
Joss Stone
Rafael Sadiq

Just to name a few.

[Zemo]

Great! All the reg radio plays here, is like you dinosaur rock over and over again and the same songs to boot.

Anyway off the subject, you wanna bring back FF football league this year?

I really think those are your CD's.

... I have heard Nothing "New" ... I haven't listened to the Radio in Months,.. the Only new CD I have boughten is that New Metallica that came out a few Months back,.. it's the best new Metallica in yrs,.. I like it quite a bit too.

[DocDrako]

The newest thing I've been listening to is "Let Me Be Myself" by 3 Doors Down. The Geico commercial got me and I had to hear the whole song. It stuck and it fits me very well these days, so it's a current "new" favorite. I don't usually discover new bands that I like, but usually new songs.
