For balon! to consider.
I just downloaded this myself, and am giving it a listen...
Grab a free download of "SABRA SESSIONS VOL. 1" - a high energy Israeli dance club hip hop influenced mix by Diwon, the American-Israeli DJ/Producer extraordinaire behind the Shemspeed label. The listener hears Diwon remixing, choppin up, slowing down, speeding up, and sampling all types of sounds to create a seamless mix of seemingly disjointed tracks that sound like Israel landed on top of Daft Punk & M.I.A.'s studio.

Another freebie from the Amazon Vine program. Recently been exploring Alt Country. (I don't care for straight Country or C&W).
Ryan Bingham - Roadhouse Sun
Catchy sound. Almost Tom Wait-ish

Think this is the title track on his new album. I may have to buy it.

Currently giving the streaming player midway down the page on the
Sephardic Music Festival site a listen. Amazing the variety in styles. My own impression of Sephardic music had been stereotyped for years...

Just got "The Best of Bruce Dickinson" from Amazon! Listening to the second disk right now, and I'm loving it!

I'm embarrassed to say so, but I love this album. It's one of those guilty pleasure albums for me. Back in whenever it was released, which I believe to be the very early 80's, I got it for Christmas, but the parents forgot to take it out of hiding and wrap it. A few months later, I mentioned it and how I wish I had got it for Christmas, and the parents looked at each other and agreed to give it to me then.
It's kind of what you'd call a concept album, I would suppose. It's all sci-fi like, and kinda silly, but I invented a lot of stories at the time to go along with the album.
Today, I just realized that it has what feels to me to be a sister album, which is this:
Another sci-fi album, but I'm less embarrassed about it, for some reason.

I've been listening to Karnivool's two albums, "Themata", and "Sound Awake". They are a great band from Australia and I can't figure out why they haven't hit it big in the US. They are progressive but with a harder edge. Kind of like a mix of Tool and Dream Theater. Great stuff!

Bruce's solo work is excellent! I recommend
Scream For Me Brazil and
A Tyranny Of Souls as well.

I'll have to check those out, at the moment, I'm really enjoying what I got now...even his goofy crap on disc 2
I'm thinking of checking out
Chemical Wedding next... there seems to be a consensus that that's his masterpiece... but then again, there's about 3 or 4 songs from there on his best of, and none from
A Tyranny of Souls (since that was recorded afterwards)...argh, choices!

I've been hung up on playing Scarlett Johannson's, Wait cover, Falling Down on repeat a lot lately. She doesn't have a great voice but just barely good enough to give the song the haunting quality Wait's intended.

I've not heard her album, but here's another artist with an album fulla Tom Waits covers:
Several of her versions are especially good. And several are just what I'd define as "sultry." Her version of
I Want You I think I might prefer to the original, strangely enough.

I liked Holly Cole's "I Can See Clearly Now" cover back in the 90s but the rest of her album was a little too 40s-ish for me. I'll check this one out.
Here's a link to the Scarlett cover.

For some reason I'm absolutely loving a song called "Bee of the Bird of the Moth" by They Might Be Giants.
I was indifferent to it when I first heard it, and now I listen to it 5 times a day! How does that work? It's not an elaborate song, the lyrics are clever as usual, it's horny (oy, trumpets and trombones!), nothing much happens musically - why is this so (that I love it)???

Listening to / looking at the where the light is DVD by John Mayer I borrowed from a fellow band member. I absolutely did not know this guy, excellent stuff.
