Due to the fact that I have done nothing but play with iTunes and be lazy this weekend (not to mention a sudden and visceral hatred of this whole "blog a day" thing) I am keeping the song thing up............
Living in Indiana gave me a testimony of John "Cougar" Mellencamp (I will never forget the "Cougar"!).
If you like music in Spanish, I recommend Te Dejo Madrid by Shakira.
Wendy and I went to see Pat Benatar this summer and I can't get enough of Heartbreaker, Love is a Battlefield, We Belong, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, and Invincible.
I'll second the shakira recommend. Also, try the Next Stop Wonderland soundtrack. Usually I'm not big on soundtracks, but this is full of bosa nova and brasilian music. Yum.
Also: Natalie Merchant- Tigerlilly Blues Traveller- Four Sarah Mclaughlin- Mirrorball Give me a good old Soundgarden album any day- yum on the Chris Cornell! And then there's always the Grateful Dead, my fallback music anytime I need a pick-me-up. John Denver- greatest hits Eva Cassidy- live at the Blues I like Pantera too, but that might not be what you have in mind...
Much like you, I'm all over the map musically-- my cd player might have the Tab Choir, The Dead, The Dead Kennedy's and some Henry Rollins, right next to the Louis Armstrong. What can I say?

Celtic Christmas (a collection)
Celtic Voices: Women of Song

and finally, in a totally unrelated genre: Walk the Line (the soundtrack)

Posting every day IS hard.
Have you ever listened to Morcheeba? It's so groovy. Try Love is Rare from Fragments of Freedom.
I made an iMix for you tonight. I'll post it tomorrow or Wed. I still have to figure out how to blog it. I'm pretty slow.
I can't remember what I've sent you...
Rachael Yamagata
Placebo
The Lucksmiths
Rhett Miller
OK, here are some more staples around here:
The Killers
Good Charlotte
Yeah Yeah Yeah's
Maroon 5
Depeche Mode
The Goo Goo Dolls
Def Leppard's Greatest Hits
So many more...LOL!
Seriously.
Everyone should be on www.Soundcrank.com and we can all share our favorites SO much easier!
It's FREE (I promise because my husband is the owner).
I definitely second the Morcheeba recommendation. And the walk the line soundtrack. Here are a few others:
the shins
imogen heap / frou frou
the postal service
gigi
beth orton
mary lou lord
cary brothers
joshua radin
thievery corporation
Oh Jayme and Jon, let's be friends!
