Songs of the week: 9/30/08

I don't know what it is, but I just can't get out of this jazz funk...I promise, only one jazz tune this week, courtesy of Miles Davis and the 6 hour Cellar Door Sessions.

Happy Rosh Hashanah!

***songs of the week #6

1. Directions - Miles Davis
2. Soon We'll Be Found - Sia (I posted a link to this video last week, because I've really been digging it...check it out, son)
3. He Say, She Say - Lupe Fiasco (I'm still a bit sad that I missed him when he came to Albany, especially since my roommate says that he kills live. I guess I'll have to settle for Lupe on tape)
4. Trojan Horse - Bloc Party (Standout track from Bloc Party's standout new album - a review is in the works, I promise)
5. All That I Had - The Paper And The Plane (I started listening to these guys from Australia last year, and have been trying desperately to get my hands on their new album - wish me luck)

Songs of the week: 9/23/08

This was a good weekend, and Jewish holidays assure two short (and hopefully memorable) weeks ahead. Here's hoping you're digging the music as much as I am.

Also, in case you couldn't tell, I'm in a bit of a jazz mood right now.

***songs of the week #5
1. Perdido - Art Blakey & The Giants Of Jazz (I know I posted a song by these guys last week, but seriously, I can't get over this shit!)
2. Sanctuary - Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra (How did a band this talented evade my notice for so long? Thank god my roommate has excellent taste, or this Brookyln band might have remained a secret to me forever)
3. Sanctuary - Miles Davis (Another excellent track, bearing no resemblance to the afrobeat song of the same name - this is Miles Davis at the top of his game)
4. Clutch - Yoko Kanno & The Seatbelts (Lifted straight from the Cowboy Bebop OST...'nuff said)
5. Quick! To The Observatory - Minus Our Wings
