As for kids music, my girls (age 5 and 3) can't get enough of the Toy Dolls (you know, the 80s punk band that did "Nellie the Eliphant"). Who would've guessed their goofy lyrics, thick british accents and punk flavor would be a hit with kids. Or maybe it's just their name.
Wow, Michael, that Beck set is great. (And I need to rescind my RealAudio rant. Their RealAudio archives are much, much better with the new--still free--RealOne player).
Stephen is responsible for reintroducing me to Cat Power.
Also, digging Interpol lately. It's like the distilled essence of alterna-eighties, in a modern package (sans the Casio keyboard and the hair).
Oh, and Jared introduced me to Add N to (X). Nice stuff. It's like the Chemical Brothers with a sense of humor, overlayed with Radiohead-esque textures.
this may not be very cool. but I liked the last fugazi album
there's a really great act from DC called the Black Eyes. they have 3 drummers and 2 bassists. pretty amazing live So far theyve been releasing their own vinyl, but theyre supposed to have something produced by ian mckaye soon
Yeah Yeah Yeahs! As raw as Beth Orton or maybe Cat Power, but more... unexpected. Check it out.
(No, not Hot Hot Heat -- who's lyrics are as repetetetetive as their name. Anyway, what's with band names nowadays? Soon they're gonna sound like race horses.)
Excellent suggestion, JFP. I've been using iChatStatus for a long time and it's an excellent way to catch a bit of what is going into my buddies' ears all day. I suggest more Typophiles get on iChat or AIM and install that sucker.
Yeah, the end of the guitar was on the floor while he sat in a chair and drew the bow across the middle of the neck. Like a cello. Droning ensues, true to their signature sound. Not sure how Jimmy Page did it. Who's Jimmy Page? (j/k)
Allow me to imagine Jimmy Page, err I mean, describe how he held his guitar. Ahem. I mean to say that Jimmy would leave his guitar strapped on, slung low on his hips, and would bow the guitar from that position.
I just found a fabulous bootleg of a Metallica show put on in Vienna this summer, I pretty much keep it on repeat right now. Too bad their studio work isn’t remotely this good.
Just ordered the new Alison Krauss CD so I can trip on the zen-like reserved bass playing of Abraham Laborial, as well as listen to an angel sing. Jerry Douglas and the rest are well worth grokking also.

Wow. There’s people that listen to music? Who would have known?
I am more than a little puzzled that music doesn't seem as important as it once did. I don't know of my hearing is dulled, or could it be my imagination. Or is it simply not as important as I thought it was. I just don't know what to think. Shift happens.
Various Ensemble Organum recordings in rotation. Not only stunning, powerful vocal performances, but the kind of musicological archaeology that makes you question what you think you know about the history of western music.
Today I’m hooked on the Dethalbum. I feel very lucky to live in a time when a cartoon death metal band can release a full-length album and get their marketing people to “leak” it a month before it hits stores.
John’s organum recordings sound fascinating, but I’m on a loud, fast, and distorted binge right now.

KCRW (http://www.kcrw.com). The world-class "Morning
Becomes Eclectic" show is finally an MP3 stream and no
longer a lame Real Audio broadcast.
(Note: It's a true 'simulcast' so you can see the
programming on the site.)
Enjoy.

I think the world would be a pretty awful place if there were no music. Just MHO.

The only thing about music that is good is playing it. Of course that is an extremely biased opinion…
