The Playlist for NEXT streaming at 1071thepeak.com

Tokyo Police Club – Be Good (A Lesson In Crime)
Another Canadian band. A Bunch of barely legal teens that write tight, fun freak out energy type tunes.

Barenaked Ladies – Maybe You’re Right (Barenaked Ladies are Me)
First cd well except a holiday cd for their own record label Desperation Records.

Clinic – Harvest Within You (Visitations)
The act's Visitations, which hit stores in the United Kingdom in October, will see release in North America Jan. 23, and the act's hoping to make its delayed release worth the wait. The CD version of the album will contain two still unnamed bonus tracks and be packaged in a hardbook case, while vinyl fans will get a poster, though no bonus cuts, for their patience.

Stanton Moore – Poison Pushy
He like a few other drummers started banging on his mother’s pots, pans and tuperware. One project can satisfy him so he has drummed for Galactic, Garage A Trois and solo projects. For his third solo album (he’s also recorded six with Galactic and three with Garage a Trois), and is working on a new Galactic cd as we speak.

Nouvelle Vague – The Killing Moon (Bande A Part) Echo and the Bunnymen cover
With a name that means "new wave" in English and "bossa nova" in Portuguese, Nouvelle Vague's moniker neatly sums up the group's concept: remaking classic new wave singles with a Brazilian pop twist.

Damien Rice – Accidental Babies (9)
Back after 4 years with his second cd is Damien Rice the Irish singer songwriter. BiPolar? Well he did record this all the while getting through a break up. Happy and seemingly joyful one minute, then achingly depressing the next

Jennifer O’Connor – Tonight We Ride (Over the Mountain, Across the Valley and Back to the Stars)
Jennifer's career began in Atlanta, where after college she joined Violet, a band compared to X and the Pixies. She started playing solo after quitting Violet and moving to NYC.
Jennifer released her debut EP, Truth Love Work, in 2000. Solo cd number three.

Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler – Why Worry (Real Love Roadrunning)
Dire Straits leader Knopfler and country thrush Harris teamed up earlier this year for the studio offering All the Roadrunning, and several tracks from that album resurface in similar arrangements on this live CD/DVD set. The rest is made up of tunes from Harris and Knopfler's past

Yusuf Islam - I Think I See The Light (An Other Cup)
The Cat is back…cheesey? Yes. the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens has finally come out of his self-imposed retirement, First album in 28 years. The cd in a nutshell. Peaceful, mellow and hopeful.

Johnny Osbourne – We Need Love (A Brokedown Melody OST)
A reggae singer for over 25 years and if he keeps up a friendship with Jack Johnson he could last another 25 years. You can also find this song on 1980s Truth and Rights.

The Strollers – Into the Dark
After calling it quits in 2001 after only 2 full length cds the band decided to get back together for a few gigs. That was supposed to be it. Well that has lead to more gigging and the recording of three new songs. They are from Sweden and started out as a Chuck Berry cover band.

More later

looks like a good playlist for tonight. If i am able, I shall listen!

I need to check out the new damien rice... something tells me that we probably have it at the radio station. bipolar music isn't all that bad. I mean just ask morrissey about that!

as for Nouvelle Vague, they are clever, humorous and good all at the same time. i have their cover of the undertones' teenage kicks. I have to smile about your selection of their cover of killing moon. I almost played the original today on my show. Now I kinda wished I did so it could be like one of those moments of "woah, great minds think a like" but we already knew that one!

one more thing... do you think it's cool if I post one of my recent essays from my pop culture class as an entry on here? Let me know what you think!

Megs...post away. There is nothing in your way. You are the master of your own little slice of a glorious mess.

I will have to say if you loved the first D Rice this one might...that a bit of time to grow on you.

I love me my Killing Moon and think that one of the best movie/music moments is the use of the tune in Donnie Darko.

i totally agree with you on the whole donnie darko bit. however, i own the director's cut and instead of killing moon being used in the beginning, they use inxs' never tear us apart. it makes the intro bit quite different and haunting. they use killing moon for another part of the movie, but it works really well.

ps- believe me, i shall post away very soon!
