Today's music

I guess Jamendo can work. It's revived my interest in music. Being ill had meant that it had faded away a bit .. but there's a kind of joy every time I listen to some music that I connect to. A piece of music and a song here and there. Sometimes I'll find an album and I don't connect to a couple of tracks .. maybe it's the words or music but something keeps me listening and two or three tracks into the album I hear something I like. Sometimes I like all the music, sometimes just a few tracks.

I've found that when I do like the music I become quite curious about the musicians .. something that doesn't usually happen in the more commercialised world .. guess I think they've been packaged and promoted long before I ever get to hear about them. I'd probably be more likely to buy an album of theirs than an artist packaged by the major companies.

Anyway, today I've been listening to

She has a mixture of records to buy or a couple of earlier ones to download for free. All her music is assessable through her myspace page.

And these people .. not really my type of music in general so I had it playing quietly in the background so that I could hear the songs. They're in French but even if you don't speak the language some of the songs are very nice to listen to. Well, what you like depends on your personal choice of music.

I haven't listened to any of David Chapel's solo albums yet.

Must say that sometimes the guitar really reached out to me from among the lyrics especially on Puisque.. On the next track, Illusion, it was more a mixture of voice and guitar. The next track's a nice instrumental. Just played it very quietly and found it relaxing. Decided to download it.

There are some other blogs with links to CC music .. some from their own web record label, others have general music that they like. I'll have to see if I can find the links again.
