my 12 year old nephew made me watch the Fergy "My Humps" vid and I can't stop.
I'm addicted to her.

Now that's a diverse assortment, Arianna. I actually like Bow Wow Wow--the hoopla over the then-14-year-old (or something like that) lead singer--what's her name?--posing naked (but revealing nothing) on the album cover was quite something.

I love jazz--I missed the entire punk/new wave period from 1975-82 or so because I was primarily listening to jazz then. Speaking of jazz musicians, right at the moment I'm listening to an incredible new cd, a rare and accidental find of the 1957 Thelonious Monk/John Coltrane sessions, "thelonious monk quartet with john coltrane at carnegie hall." Recorded almost 48 years ago (November 29, 1957), the Blue Note cd features both the early show and the late show:

Early Show: Monk's Mood, Evidence, Crepuscule with nellie, nutty, epistrophy
Late Show: bye-ya, sweet and lovely, blue monk, epistrophy (incomplete)

Thelonious Monk, piano (in excellent form)
John Coltrane, tenor sax (superb as always)
ahmed abdul-malik, bass
Shadow wilson, drums

As the liner notes indicate, 1957 was the year of emergence for Coltrane; one section of the notes is called "the high priest and the budding innovator" which sums it up. Although at the time jazz was fading from popularity (becoming increasingly difficult for "the man in the street" to listen to and enjoy, as bemoaned here on the list many a time) and rock and roll was on the ascendent, the 50s were a fecund period for jazz, and my favorite era overall. The roots were laid in the 40s with be-bop and invention reached a crazed peak (and often lost itself, to my ear) in the 60s, but between Monk, Trane, Cannonball, Garner, MJQ, and so many others, the 50s produced some amazing jazz, and this cd is a welcome addition to the ranks.

My other big jazz discovery over the past year or so is Patricia Barber, a phenomenal pianist and vocalist and an inimitable, highly intelligent songwriter. Highly recommended.

Other recent acquisitions in heavy rotation:

The Arcade Fire - Funeral
Neil Young - Prairie Wind
Imogen Heap - Speak for Yourself
Aine Minogue - The Twilight Realm (Irish harpist living in Boston, not related to Kylie or Danni, lol)
Eric Andersen - Beat Avenue
Over the Rhine - Drunkard's Prayer and Films for Radio
Jackson Browne - Solo Acoustic vol. 1
Fionna Apple - Extraordinary Machine
Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter - Reckless Burning
Vashti Bunyan - Lookaftering.

That's enough for now!

About the only thing I won't listen to is old country western stuff and some of the gross stuff from the late 40s to the early 50s.

Some names in my collection:
Chris DeBurgh
Rick Springfield
Kim Wilde
Pink
Kitaro
Rene Gruss
The London Symphonic Orchestra
Metallica
A fair sampling of Salsa Music
Tons of Freestyle (Debbie Deb, Trinere, Noel, Jaya, Stevie B, Etc.)
