I think i have been inspired to listen to Betty myself tonight... :)

I may just play it again tonight. The death of my PC has actually done good for me, I'm spending more time with the music that's stuck on my iPod and the few things I've loaded onto my work PC. Some I'm already well familiar with but it's nice to play something a few times even if I'm revisiting it, rather than just once and then back to the shelf (or virtual shelf). It's a bit relaxing to not be grabbing new music and not having my entire collection at my disposal to overwhelm me.

I played Aftertaste the other night too, which is also very enjoyable and perhaps underrated. Need to re-download Meantime as I haven't heard that one in ages, but really I like Betty and Aftertaste more.

hehehehe.... strangely enough it's the purchase of a new computer that has led to my expanded music listening... i finally have gotten around to loading up all my old CDs as mp3s which, in the process, reminded me of all the great music I have in my possession...

I suppose change is good, no matter the direction.

The other thing is i don't have to search for discs anymore... and in my micropacked apartment those discs are often well tucked away.... it's nice to have my tunes just aq click or two away...

Yeah true. However, my computer problems had me glancing over my phyisical collection again...it was nice saying "ooh I wanna listen to this" by browsing things visually rather than just looking at a list of files. Not saying I want to do that exclusively, as it is a pain considering my shelves are overstacked, but it's fun to take a break and go back to the old school method once in a while.

Too true! Very much enjoying my fix of Helmet's Betty right now.... :)

Z.Z. Hill - The Down Home Soul of Z.Z. Hill

Lately I've really been craving alot of soul and blues music, so a friend of mine sent me a link to of Southern Soul albums. Some fantastic finds there, and that's where I found Z.Z. Hill. This isn't the album that was on the list, but I'm extremely pleased with the one I found. Soul and blues pretty much overlap most of the time, and I think this album is great example of both sounds coming together. Plus, he's from Texas, and I do like to give props to artists from home.

Have a listen if ya care to. There aren't necessarily the best songs on the album, but youtube is limited.


Thanks for the tip off on this one mate, nice voice. And that list of Southern Soul albums is essential!

Orbital - Snivilization

One of my favorites from them. This song is fucking immense!

A.S.M. - Platypus Funk

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

The tags hip hop, electronic, trip hop and funk sucked me in and I don't regret the decision one bit. Great album.
