Hello, orgers! It's my birthday next week and my family's been asking me what I want. I want new music, but I'm not sure what to ask for. So, I turn to you. The new Fiona Apple? The semi-new Kanye West? All suggestions are welcomed!!!

Thanks!

no kanye... bleeech why subject your ears to such garbage

The new Jamiroquai CD 'Dynamite' is very good.

The new Earth Wind and Fire CD 'Illumination' is great.

Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise
Depeche Mode - Playing the angel
HIM - Darklight

here's a few

Get the new Boards of Canada CD!

Though I haven't heard it yet, it's Boards of Canada, so it's bound to be brilliant.

U might wanna check out Gorillaz new Joint i finally got my ears on it and its pretty damn tight.ok so im a lil behind on that.. yeah i slept on it..l. but dayum it is pretty damn tight

On the same gasp of breath I may suggest the original poster the following titles:

IRM - Virgin Mind
Brighter Death Now - Kamikaze Cabaret
Merzbow vs. Nordvargr - Partikel
The Phantoms - Tonal

You'll love 'em!

TheFrog said:

Hey, just picked up a copy today before release day...and I'm saving it for later tonight- you're right because it's them- it's bound to be brilliant!!!

Moron on board! I've never even heard of Boards of Canada. Do tell!

jillybean said:

That doesn't make you a moron. Well, if it does, I'm a moron, too!

I will tell you 3 of my personal choices:

Michael Hutchence - Solo Album


Michael Jackson - The Essential


Jason Star - Unstoppable (Click here to buy http://www.cdbaby.com/jasonstar )

hmmmm

I'm personally enjoying the new Franz Ferdinand a lot, so I guess I'll recommend that

Novabreaker said:

thats a lovely choice.. i like this album very much..

The Like - Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?

The album is produced by Wendy Melvoin so there is a Prince connection. I absolutely love this record. It's makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

and to go along with it and have a wendy and lisa time get:



the instrumentation and soul on this album is a direction i'd love for prince to try out. oh..lisa coleman plays keys on all but two songs...

sextonseven said:

I am a fan of the album by The Like. I said it in another thread, but it reminds me of early 90s vocal pop along the lines of The Las and others.

Yes, definitely the new Fiona!

theVelvetRoper said:

Awesome, thanks!

Did you get any yet? And yes...I'm stalking you now that I've met you.

This is a music thread, Dan.

If it's a music thread what are you *#@%ing me in the @$$?

jasonstar said:

Is that Jason Star person wearing MJ's jacket???

the new fiona apple is good but find the "original", unreleased version online instead. its got much more character than the version officially released. sufjan stevens's illnoise is phenomenal, wolf parade's apologies to the queen mary is great, and the like's are you thinking what i'm thinking is a lot of fun. the new kate bush is sure to be wonderful (7 nov is the release date i think).

or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, tell your friends/family to pick up those cds that you've always "meant to buy" but never got around to it. they sometimes make the best musical gifts!

I liked Fiona's new ...

I Really like the Lela James disc tho....

Stay away from all of the above mentioned music! Unless you are a boring top 40 clone or something.

Pick up some new exciting music like:
The Donnas - Spend The Night or Gold Medal
Magic Numbers
Paul Westerberg - Mono

or some classics like:
Alice Cooper - From The Inside
Frank Zappa - Zoot Allures
James Brown - Love Power Peace

Or, you may not have heard much Shuggie Otis - get Inspiration Information

Stay with the real music.

Hmmm...Alice Cooper, James Brown, Frank Zappa - they all had top 40 hits

mattperry said:

thats sarcasm, right? sufjan stevens...the like...wolf parade...kate bush...do you really think these are top 40 artists? and what is wrong with top 40 artists, anyway? you are on a prince website after all, aren't you?

SassyBritches said:

LOL, those artists wish they had a top 40 hit. I think Kate is the only one to ever hit the top 40 ("Running Up That Hill") and that was only once!
