The other night I was looking for some new music to add to my iPod (while I wait for Jack Johnson’s new album to be released next month) and opted for Band of Horses. This is their second album, but I’d never listened to them before. Let me say that I fell in love with their music on the first listen. They kind of remind me of Counting Crows. If there’s any other great new music that you’ve recently discovered please let me know….I’m always looking for new stuff.
By the way, Jack Johnson has a letter to his fans on Amazon.com about his upcoming album. Reading it made me even more excited about it. In the letter he says:
My friends and I have just finished recording a new album called Sleep Through the Static. At this point in my life I weigh about 190 lbs and my ear hairs are getting longer. I also have a couple of kids. My wife popped them out, but I helped. Some of the songs on this album are about making babies. Some of the songs are about raising them. Some of the songs are about the world that these children will grow up in; a world of war and love, and hate, and time and space. Some of the songs are about saying goodbye to people I love and will miss.

Never heard of Band of Horses either, but thank you for telling me about them:o)
I’m waiting for Jack Johnsons new one too. Love his voice. Do you like Damien Rice? Pinback is a new one I just found through a friend, mostly their song “Loro”.

Mommyca: Let me know what you think of Band of Horses. I haven’t really listened to Damien Rice and have never heard of Pinback, but I’ll check them out. Thanks!
Nanette: I thought so. I’m anxious to hear his new album.
