music

i hadn't thought about interpol in about a year and a half, and yesterday i suddenly had an overwhelming urge to listen to their first album. i almost busted out travis's 'invisible band' because there's a track on it that reminds me of an interpol song. strange.

i've just ordered another copy of 'bright lights' from amazon about 2 hours ago. i had a copy on long-term loan from a friend (that's the diplomatic way of saying i wasn't going to give it back), but it was broken one night when a bunch of my friends piled into my car and started dorkin' around. the oddest things happen when your car is packed with friends.

i'm a getting tired of all my music. i need some suggestions. bands/artists i really like are coldplay, interpol, kenna, travis, delirious, nickel creek (when i'm in an americana mood), U2, suba, almost any bossa nova or anything rooted in brazilian jazz - especially ambient mixes. i love jazz, salsa/tropical (as long as it's not cheesy) and r&b without raunchy lyrics...which can be hard to find.

so if anyone has any suggestions i'd love to hear them.

Interpol? Now you're talking! Antics isn't bad either, the new album, although there's nothing to compare with 'Hands Away' on Bright Lights.

Splendid!

i'm glad to know i've met with your approval. next time you're stuck in my car rolling your way throught the greater portland area, it is comforting to know coldplay will not be the only cd in my collection that won't overwhelm you with it's main-stream dullness.
