Rachael Yamagata
So, Rachael Yamagata played the Midwest Music Summit in 2002. She was so good- the talk of the conference. Well, they’ve reworked some of her songs from the EP and added a bunch of others and now she’s the Free Download of the Week this week on iTunes (Act quick; I think it may end Friday). Anyway, as much as I like the newer reworked version of “Worn Me Down”, I think I like the one from the EP better- even if it does sound like Dawson’s Creek makeout music.
Franz Ferdinand
Obviously, like everybody and their brother I am digging on Franz Ferdinand. I love “Take Me Out”. It’s such a strong single. That part of it where it slows down and starts on a driving disco-Foreigner groove- pure booty bliss!
The Killers
I’m a sucker for dance rock. I’m really excited that people are making music with guitars that you can dance to. “Somebody Told Me” is the best track on the disc, but the rest isn’t bad either.
You can see what else I’m digging on by checking out my iTunes iMix playlist
