My Music Week in Review 11/10/08

Nov 10 2008, 22:30 di DeuceMckenzie

My second wave of Elephant 6 exploration continued this week. In fact, if not for my yourmusic.com, my purchases would have been exclusive to the collective.

Album: Can't Wait Another Day
Artist: The Ladybug Transistor
Released: 2007
Acquired Via: City Lights (CD)

Some time ago, a poster at rateyourmusic.com recommended The Albemarle Sound to me based on my love of the E6 extended family band, The Essex Green. Both groups definitely belong to more mellow, melodic branch of the collective, but that is really where the similarities end. The Ladybug Transistor actually remind me more of The Magnetic Fields than anyone else. The same strange upbeat/depressive feeling that instantly makes me think of antidepressant medications for some reason. TLT's latest effort is nowhere near the quality of the first record I bought by them, but it has some great tracks. I especially like Here Comes The Rain, a great little pop gem. I must say that the production on this album is surprisingly slick for an E6 related act…

30 questions about your top artist chart on last.fm

Mag 19 2008, 4:58 di shibuyah

1. How did you get into 29?
Tokyo Jihen. I remember reading something about Sheena Ringo's new band, kinda jazzy, and they had just released their 1st album, so I decided to download it. And it was one of the best things I've ever heard

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
I think it was Math and Physics Club - Graduation Day

3. How many albums by 13 do you own?
None. I was thinking about buying something of Claude Debussy 's, but I couldn't find good recordings of his work yet.

4. What is your favorite song by 15?
Anathema - Deep . Definitely

5. What is your favorite song by 5?
There's two, Death Cab for Cutie's Someday You Will Be Loved and Soul Meets Body . But counting cover songs, All Is Full of Love (by bjork) is my favorite.

6. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
Blonde Redhead
? Happy? I think it is 23 that makes me less sad.

Asobi Seksu - [track artist=Asobi Seksu]Lions and Tigers

Top 50 artist meme

Mag 11 2008, 22:40 di benfergy

Top 50 meme (I assume this is the top 50 scrobbled artists overall when I found this)

1. How did you get into 29? (Tie at 28: Stevie Wonder and The Divine Comedy)
Stevie Wonder I've been familiar with as a teenage listening to oldies radio. With the Divine Comedy, I can't quite pinpoint the instance I've started listening, but I first heard of them by listening to their music online. Probably in 2006.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Snow Patrol)
Run, or maybe Spitting Games. No, I'm pretty sure it's Run.

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (Three-way tie at 31: Aberfeldy, The Moody Blues, and The Velvelettes)

Of all the songs of all these artists:

The spoken words at the end of Nights In White Satin:
"Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion"

4. How did you get into 49? (sigh... …
