Emusic May 2007

May 22nd, 2007 | by Scott |

For those of you who are interested in such things, here are the albums I chose to download this month with my Emusic package. Now I have to wait two more weeks, aargh.

Camera Obscura–Let’s Get Out of This Country
Melissa McClelland–Thumbelina’s One Night Stand (I’ve had her excellent ‘04 debut for several months and finally decided to pull the trigger on her latest. I hadn’t downloaded it previously because I was unable to stream up. But it did not disappoint.)
Lloyd Cole–Anti Depressant and The Negatives–(For the Matthew Sweet fan in each of us.)
Warren Zevon–The Wind (I don’t know why I’ve never downloaded this before. It is as absolutely heartbreaking as a farewell disc is meant to be.)
Maria McKee–Late December (The former Lone Justice singer continues to churn out top-rank albums. But this is her most daring and adventurous yet. It was just released last month and deserves a close listen)
Arcade Fire–Neon Bible (I’m still not quite sure what all the fuss is, but this album is growing on me)
Of Montreal–Icons, Abstract Thee (I didn’t have enough tracks left to download their most recent full length so I thought I would give this EP a spin. Tremendous.)
Belle and Sebastian–Sing Jonathan David (3 tracks left? Nothing beats one of the B&S EP’s I don’t have yet.)

That leaves new releases by The Twilight Sad and Of Montreal at the top of my list for next month. I’m sure I will add to my Camera Obscura collection and tack on Neutral Milk Hotel as well.

I love eMusic.

    I have AF’s Neon Bible in my “save for later” list, probably for next month. I’ll be posting about my newest stuff later this week. One that I found last week was Joseph Arthur’s Nuclear Daydream, which I’m liking a lot.

    Arthur is one I haven’t been able to “get” yet. I love his song “In the Sun” but the rest of his stuff has failed to resonate with me. I’m gonna try it again, though. I can be a slow listener at times.
