[quote user="AlSF" post="45615"]Scot-born songstress/songwriter Kate Tunstall's Black Horse and A Cherry Tree was released last year but was just here in California on a US jaunt and will be touring here again soon. Due to this and her sheer talent of course, she's getting more airplay for sure. "Whoo on, whoo-oh" are now much more famous here than before. Her diary is interesting.

She is also the gay female icon , even though she is partners with her male drummer , must have that Angelina Jolie Vibe going on

Good Album though

Great album, in fact I'm going to play it now. Whoo - whoo!

She has also done many solo shows since her trademark has been her one-woman show...I saw a recent interview and she's just brilliant and relies on her talent and not playing up her sexuality like many of the female singers who seem to get it all out there to sell records and get a bigger slice of the fame pie.

i love KT tunstall's eye to the telescope album. Been listening to that album for a month now---non stop.

Just started listening to tool - 10000 days.

the top for me at the moment: (in listening order)
Vicarious;
wings for marie;
10,000 days;
the pot;
rosetta stoned;
right in two; (holy shit!)

The only sad part (imo) we don't get much of Maynard's voice.
it blurs with the music, which is sad, because he has an amazing voice..
(and most lyrics aren't available yet)

New album of Andrea Bocelli-Amore
is so good.He has duets with Christina Augilera,Kenng G,stevie wonder....This tenor always makes me cry..

Hmmm, I haven't heard the new album yet but I would recommend it anyway! Sam Roberts "Chemical City" the follow -up to "we were born in a flame." Good canadian boy, from Montreal, and from the Pre-Arcade Fire boom. I've read that he's the heir to the canadian rock throne. I'm not sure any of you care about that though. One more monarch for me!

Check out we were born in a flame and Chemical City, Sam Roberts won't disappoint. Also, K'Naan, great canadian hi-hop artist! Touches on human rights, culture, etc... album, the dusty foot philosopher.

2 brilliant Albums I cant stop playing ,
The Vines and The Subways very hard and edgy

http://www.thevines.com/ and Australian thats got a be a first for me

Subways are from London but dont hold that against them.

stayed with my best friend over the weekend she forced me to listen to northern soul.. not really my thing but a giggle anyway!

here's a nice review :
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/11/arts/ ... ref=slogin

Yeah Yeah Yeahs . Show your Bones

V Good and Rockin nice to hear a womans voice over geetars.

New York City producing good music , thats got to be a first.Oh alright Rap and hip hop aside.

Reet ,
Waterloo to Anywhere by Dirty Pretty Things
With Love and Squalor by We are Scientists

and Album of the Month gotta be Snow Patrol , Eyes Open . A class above

Give them a whirl .

Snow patrol- Run: Anthemic

"Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear, my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear"

snow patrol are my thang at mo too! although a few of their songs remind me of Keane and they are pooh!

I would thoroughly recommend the Dixie Chicks new album, "Taking the Long Way." Beautiful vocals and intelligent lyrics, what more could you ask for?
