I really don't have anything to say because I think what I've been listening to this week speaks for itself and my current mood.

Tilly and The Wall (http://www.tillyandthewall.com) - Wild Like Children
I honestly would not know how to describe this band to anyone besides using the word "brilliant." They're on the upcoming Bright Eyes (http://www.saddle-creek.com) tour and for good reason. I find this album to be quite addicting and I'm sure many of you will be able to appreciate it too, especially if you're trying to branch out with your musical taste.

Bright Eyes (http://www.saddle-creek.com) - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
I know not everyone can get into Mr. Conor Oberst because of his voice, but at least take the time to sit down and listen to his lyrics and songwriting abilities. I haven't heard one person say they don't like this release and I don't expect many people not to like it. I'm also very into his other album coming out the same day (January 25th), Digital Ash In A Digital Urn.

The Flaming Lips (http://www.theflaminglips.com) - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
I love the band name. I love the album title. I love the music. It's been awhile since I've listened to this and after watching 50 First Dates and hearing "Do You Realize" in the movie I had to pull out the disc and hear it as a whole. It's quite addicting to say the least.

Owen (http://www.polyvinylrecords.com) - I Do Perceive
"Who Found Whose Hair In Whose Bed" is one of the most captivating songs I've ever heard. I'll never forget the first time I heard it because until this day anytime I hear it I have to listen to it over and over. Mr. Mike Kinsella can write some nasty lyrics which in turn he sings with one of the most awe inspiring voices. I recommend this to everyone.

Third Eye Blind (http://www.thirdeyeblind.com) - Self Titled
The other day there was some talk about this band and I just always forget how good they are so from time to time I have to put them in and remind myself why I always loved Stephen Jenkins' songwriting style and voice. This is definitely one of the best albums to come out of the 90s as there isn't one song I skip. "Motorcyle Drive By" and "Thanks A Lot" are just so addicting as well. "How's It Going To Be" still gives me chills every time I hear it down 'til this day too.

When my friend put on the Tilly and The Wall cd, all I could say to her is...what kind of weird cult music are you listening too! Seriously....that cd is nuts. But it grows on you, and it's kind of funny that they use a tap dancer instead of a drum.

I've given Tilly and the Wall so many tries, but I just can't get into them. Owen on the other hand ;)

like I always do and to anyone that recs. bright eyes has some points in my book. I can see where people wont get into his stuff.But i can't not like his voice. Its soothing and great all around. his writing abilities are awe inspiring to me. he has a great talent and knows how to use it. I give all props to conor and his music. He and his music is really great to me. To anyone that doesnt know his stuff is really missing out on some good stuff. It sucks if someone listened to only his voice and didnt like it and didnt give the writing a chance. your really missing out too. Good recs.

TILLY AND THE WALL!!! i absolutely love tilly and the wall. i think their CD is probably one of the best CD's i've heard in awhile. but that's just my opinion.

Nice recommendation.
