Question:
So these are new artist that a great, see for your self :

-CocoRosie, La maison de mon rêve
Those two sisters are making music like some two little girls playing with music toys and recording songs in their small flat.

-Joanna Newsom, The Milk-eyed mender
Some kind of fairy singing with a baby voice and playing the harp.

-Feist, Let it Die
Stylish girl, playing folk-rock with a pretty voice and spirit.

Choices:

Hello! Do many of you know Lhasa De Sela? French/Mexican/English torch songs. Her first album - 'La Llorona' - is Chavela Vargastastic, and the recent effort, 'The Living Road', is equally as swoonsome. She's lush!

Ps: I used to be Toots, but now I'm even tootsier!

I like Lhasa (she used to live here in LA a long time ago), Feist and Joanna. Some of my favorites that might be new to some people are Inara George, Mia Doi Todd, Carla Werner, Patrick Park, Sylvie Lewis, Angela Correa, Jaymay, Alexi Murdoch, Gregory Page, and Matt Curreri. Let me know if you've heard of any of them.

yeah , I've heard of Alexi Murdoch and Patrick Park but i don't like it, they're on the OC soundtrack aren't they? arg..I hate that tv show.
I kinda like Mia Doi Todd though, weirdly she remind me of Bjork.
I'd like to hear this Lasha girl, she seems pretty interesting...

thank you very much I take that as a compliment. If you like those artists you may also like these :- Air (but I'm quite sure you've heard about it already). It's an electronic band from Versaille in France, and their music is really pretty, they made an album for Sofia Coppola's movie "Virgin Suicides"
-Saturaday Looks Good to Me : imagine the Shangri-Las meeting The Supremes, it's charming really.
-Cat Power : (you must have heard about her too).Wonderfull soft voice girl playing blues guitar

For those of you living in London, Joanna Newsom is playing at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on the South Bank on Sat 2 April.....

Thanks
Mike

I'm going to see Joanna Newsom in Bristol on 1st April...

yeah i really like air.....theyre an awsome group ......i did not know they are from Versaille though.....and as for cat power........my friend is obseesed with her....i like her but just havnt gotten around to listening to a whole album. .......i dunno if u have heard of a group called "Piano Magic"......i could go on naming bands....but we have all probly heard of them somewhere...so i'll leave u with this one

It's not new, or even obscure (!), but everyone should dig out their copy (for those who have it) of lambchop's 'Is a Woman', and curl up in its lap, like a purring cat (or, more aptly, a smoochy pooch). For those who don't have it: beg, buy, borrow, or steal a copy. It is absolutely ravishing!

Sorry to break the remit of the thread, but I hadn't listened to it for over a year (what was I doing?!), until last week, when I suddenly remembered how much I love it. It's great when you rediscover an album in your collection, like that. It's love, the second time around! Glasgae Lambchop, I've been a fool! Forgive me!

I'll stop wittering, now. Bye, bye.

Ps: Ms Eloise, I don't have the means to make Lhasa appear, downloady-wise and such like, unfortunately, but I hope you track her down - and enjoy!

rrar! i listen to so much music and am kind of bossy with it, so i guess i'll share it here...

i have been listening to a lot of ryan adams/whiskeytown lately...not really obscure, but i've loved ryan for years and his music always does something for me...as does jeff buckley's. so them.

also, if you're into cat power, check out julie doiron, who has a few albums in french, a few in english, and really is the only artist who sings and it sounds like crying, but in a really beautiful way.

we've already talked about joanna newsom,and her album was wonderful. along with her, sufjan stevens is a hero of mine (and lives here in brooklyn!) and devendra banhart too...neo-folkies, i guess you'd call them.

i'm sure you're all familiar with kimya dawson, and if you aren't, you should be.

um um, what else? tons more, i'm sure...the bravery is a great new dancerock band from nyc, the new kings of leon album is pretty good, the arcade fire's album is gorgeous and incredible, and of course old standards like the beatles and the beach boys.

i could go on and on but i'll spare you!

Feist! Brilliant! I saw her support Ed Harcourt last year and made a mental note to dig up some of her stuff (she was great!), but forgot til i read this...(off to Amazon with my bulging credit card I go!)

See you all on the South Bank for Joanna in April then!!heh

Oh - and check out Johnathan Rice (www.johnathanrice.com), his voice is brilliant - caught him support the luverly Martha Wainwright (who was top!) last night and was very pleasantly surprised!

i should be seeing Jonna in birmingham, last time she was here it was sold out..and i ended up eating chinese in the cold..

chinese food not people

You guys should check out a great little band from Belgium called Millionaire. Simply amazing band.
