RT - try the "Personal" discussion area. Lots of music being discussed in the "Patchoulli, Get Lucky" thread. See if there's anything you like. |

I'm loving Ben Folds' new album Lonely Avenue, with lyrics written by Nick Hornby.
The song Picture Window is one of his best ballads ever; it takes me back to the brilliant Brick. Here's a video of him playing it live; a bootleg sadly.
The second song in this clip is Levi Johnston's Blues, Hornby's take on the Palin campaign form Levi's POV. Very funny.

Sweet Disposition, by Melbourne's Temper Trap. Often likened to U2 fronted by a blue-eyed soul torch singer.

Just to prove alt-rock is not all horrible noise, here are some more of my current favourites:
Islands, by The XX. A young English trio with two unusual singers. Minimalist and seductive.
Northern Skies, by I Am Kloot. Another English group with a dab hand with a ballad. Wistful and romantic. And you get Dr Who in the video.
Funky Tonight, by John Butler Trio. This Australian roots group has toured USA supporting Dave Matthews Band, so you might have seen this. Pumping and fun.
England, by The National. Currently my favourite power ballad; really gets me going when I'm working out. Anthemic and inscrutable.
Big Jet Plane, by the very laid-back Angus and Julia Stone. This one topped the Australia Day poll for the most popular song here in 2010; great to see a home-grown talent winning. Insistent and hypnotic.

On a whim, we went tonight to see Portland folkie M. Ward. It was a simple show, just Ward, a guitar and a piano. He's got a magnificent, somewhat breathy voice, and he gave us an hour and a half of tender ballads laced with some witty stagecraft.
Ward played some of his renowned cover versions, including Oh Lonesome Me, a beautiful rendition of Let's Dance and Daniel Johnston's Story of an Artist.
For those unfamiliar with Mr Ward, here's one of the show highlights: Chinese Translation.
He didn't play it tonight, but here's my favourite M. Ward song. Another Johnston cover, featuring the sensational voice of country diva Neko Case, To Go Home.

Sometimes a trawl through your old DVDs reminds you of some neglected classics:
