Your Top 5 CDs at the moment?

[Not Afraid]

I can't answer yet, since I need to do a lot of listening of the new stuff I just bought. But, I thought I throw out the question for y'all anyways. It's always fun to talk music.

You can answer more than once over time, as these things DO change. ;)

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

This week it's:

Tilly and the Wall - Wild Like Children

Bright Eyes - Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground

Joanna Newsom - Milk-Eyed Mender

Arcade Fire - Funeral

A mix cd a friend of a friend made me for my last birthday, that's chock full of Klesmer music, Romaly tunes, Indian ditties, etc. It's a perfect, perfect, lovely international mesh. If my heart could be burned onto a cd, it might sound a lot like this cd.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Josh One, Narrow Path
Kinky, debut album (dug it back out, man do I love this album)
Madaline Peyroux, Careless Love
Beck - Guero, even though I've only heard one track from it, once. That was enough to tell me that it's awesome
Oingo Boingo, Boingo (their final album) because that album is never out of the top 5 for me.
