I have an obsessive personality and get really hooked on music that I like. This week's soundtrack:
"Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart. Old song, but a gravel-voiced busker at Pike Place Market in Seattle was singing it as I walked by last weekend, and amazingly I already had the mp3 in my collection.
Hot Fuss, by The Killers. This has been in heavy rotation for me for the past couple months. I love this album and can't get over how much their sound reminds me of The Smiths, only updated. Even the lyrics seem Smith-like to me:
Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
"Your Woman" by White Town. I've always liked this song, but I never knew the name of it until I heard it at a friend's house recently. I immediately grabbed it from iTunes.
"Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service (not that hippy-dippy version by Iron & Wine, dammit). So catchy. That Benjamin Gibbard (also of Death Cab for Cutie) can have an infectious voice sometimes.
On a slightly related topic, how great is it that Apple has is offering for free -- and promoting -- full audio from the presidential and vice-presidential debates on iTunes? Thanks, Apple!
